Tridentine or Novus Ordo: Which is 'Older'?

The “kingdom, power, glory” ending to the Our Father is found in the Didache; but again, the question is, was it used liturgically?
It is used in the Eastern Liturgies (Oti sou estin he basileia kai he dynamis kai he doxa, etc.), but as far as I know, the Doxology is foreign to the Roman Rite (the Ordo Romanus I, which reflects the Roman Rite as celebrated in the 6th-8th centuries and is thus one of the earliest records of the Roman liturgy that we have, does not include it).
 
Keep in mind that the Sarum Rite or Sarum Mass was very similar to the Tridentine Mass. And dates from before the Reformation. So the modern day Novus Ordo is in no way older,
 
I am surprised that this thread has lasted this long. In all honesty, why do you think it was posted in the first place?

I mean lets think about it. What possible good could ever come from this thread?. On the face of it it is pretty obvious what is going on and what the poster intended.

At least it is to me, but then again I’ve been on this board for a long time, back before the crash, and I’ve seen several threads along these exact same lines, using the exact same examples and all aiming in the exact same direction.

Too much time gets wasted on these exercises.

Technically the Sarum Rite (more properly the Use of Sarum), the Use of York, or the Use of Cologne (Germany) are Uses, that is, local adaptations of the Roman Rite, which explains their similarity with the Roman Rite, i.e. the Tridentine Mass. 🙂

For yor information, I posted this thread only 2 days ago because (1) very few Catholics kniw anything about the history of the Mass, (2) almost everyone, including Bishops call the 16th Century Tridentine Mass “traditional”. The Novus Ordo of 1970 has Far older elements of the Earliest Mass returned. Pls see Post 5, and others.

The name “Tridentine” is a misnomer. “Gregorian” is a far more appropriate title.

Not correct. The Gregorian Mass is the Name for the Liturgy of St Gregory the Great, 500’s. The Tridentine mass is universally used for the 1500’s Council of Trent era liturgical reforms of Mass, although it is correct to call Tridentine the Gregorian style or genre.

Yes I know what you are claiming. It has been claimed since the 70’s and is no more relevant now then it was then, Picking a choosing a few elements from scattered rites from antiquity and plugging them into a new rite does not in any way guarantee that the result will be anything at close to the original rites themselves.

Which incidentally it is not. The traditional Mass aka Tridentine Mass was codified by the Council of Trent, not developed by it. It standardized what could and could not be done. It made allowances for valid ancient rites to exist alongside of it. In short the traditional Mass did exactly what the Council of Trent wanted and intended it to do. It did away with certain rites and practices that had sprung up, cleaned up and standardized numerous different things in the Mass and laid the groundwork for the Mass that still exists today.

The Pauline Rite, that is the official name for the Novus Ordo Rite as you call it, came about as a response to a belief that the traditional Mass needed to be modernized along with the rest of the Church to make it more relevent to modern man, Otherwise, the Church would become increasingly marginalized and less important to modern man.

Did it do that? I don’t know. Too much experimentation was allowed and even encouraged to think that the Mass as devised turned out exactly as intended. In fact, I’m not at all sure the framers knew exactly what was going to come out of their plans in the end result.

That being said the Pauline Rite , is the accepted normative Mass of the Church. I attend regularly, But it is not equivalent to the early liturgies, is not analogous to earlier rites, is not in any way more ancient than the traditional rite and unless we start having Mass in private homes, bringing loaves of bread to be consecrated and then taken home for consumption throughout the week, it never will be, It is what it is. Not ancient, not old, and in fact a product mainly of the theology popular in the mid 1900’s…

But it is the Mass.👍

Older elements do not make for an older Mass. It only means some elements are older. That is quite a different question than what you first posted.

Sailka/Tony,

You must be kidding! This is surely a joke. You said:
very few Catholics kniw anything about the history of the Mass,
And this CLEARLY includes you (and I’ll tell you why in a second). You then state:
almost everyone, including Bishops call the 16th Century Tridentine Mass “traditional”. The Novus Ordo of 1970 has Far older elements of the Earliest Mass returned.
As far as we’re concerned, all Masses have elements that go back to the same date and time…Holy Thursday, A.D. 33. You also said:
Why do you call the Tridentine Mass "traditional? It is/was only 500 years old.
WRONG. It was ‘canonized’ 500 years ago. The ‘tridentine’ or ‘traditional’ latin Mass goes back to the 6th century, and even many/most of its individual parts were simply a continued development of the same Mass that first occurred in 1st century Palestine. Aside from natural growth, there was nothing really shockingly NEW that was just all of a sudden invented in the TLM the way it was for the Novus Ordo.
What about the Masses of the previous 1500 years? Not traditional at the time?
Any form older than 200 years was permitted to remain in use.
Why did the Tridentine Mass do away totally with the Earliest rites that ‘sprang up’ with the Apostles (kiss of peace) and earliest centuries Intercession prayers, and many more?
Let me answer that with another question: Why do you think that just because the Novus Ordo has incorporated a few things from antiquity, that the NO itself is ‘older’ than the TLM? As I stated before, every Mass ultimitely has its roots in Holy Thursday…the only difference is that the TLM was organic and the NO is 99% a modern fabrication, yet people like you like to claim that because it has a couple things from antiquity that didn’t remain in the TLM, therefore it’s ‘older’ etc…LAME

One thing that makes older Catholic uncomfortable about the NO mass is its resemblence to the Lutheran liturgy. That liturgy, of course, is a kind of stripped down version of the mass. My guess is that the reformers had the idea that such a reform would make the mass more comfortable to non-Catholics. My guess is that it turned off many older Catholics and was not especially apealing to the younger ones. In sum, it contributed to the Church’s loss of authority.

I think you need to study a bit more on the making of the Pauline Rite and the general ideas towards the Church that were brought forth at Vatican II and led at least in some areas to the development of the Pauline Rite.

Your insistence and almost morbid fascination with the Sign of Peace, which is still in the Traditional Mass, by the way and always was is a bit curious. Why do you find that one aspect to be of such great importance and overriding concern?. In actuality the way it is done in the Traditional Mass is probably a lot closer to the way it was done in the early Church by the way. The intercessionary prayers these days I would venture bear absolutely no resemblence to those of bygone eras.

As far as the Traditional Mass, you seem to have this view that it sprang forth fully grown after Trent, a new creation vastly different from those that preceded it…

That was not the case at all. I think that if you do your research you will find that the Mass codified by Trent is pretty close in most respects to the Masses from the previous 1,000 years. What was removed were many of the regional affectations that had sprung up as well as some particular innovations that had become common place. You also neglect that Trent left intact various other rites that could legitimitly claim longevity.

Trent was a council in the midst of controversy and it reflected that aspect in the way things were done and written. It affected the whole of the Church, not just the Mass.

Well, you have proven that you have no knowledge or very limited knowledge of the Traditional Mass my friend. Trust me the Kiss of Peace is there, I promise you that.

Your fascination is pretty obvious. It is really the only drum that you have been banging in this whole debate.

I nitpick when people decide to enter these forums with a pretty obvious agenda and then prove that their knowledge of the subject that they are pursuing is limited at best and outright lacking at worst,

Thank you for doing my thinking for me, but I think differently than you.
Why do you feel my appreciation of the 1960 year old Apostolic kiss/sign of peace is Morbid?

Where is the Sign of Peace in the 1500’s or 1962 Tridentine Mass?

Why do you call the Tridentine Mass Traditional? What about the 1500 years earlier Masses?

How do you venture that the Intercessory prayers of earliest times were very different from those now?

I really believe it did much more than to contribute to the Church’s loss of authority. We have lost the three hours Jesus hung from the Cross.

At the Mass of the Ages we are at the foot of the Cross on Calvary, shoulder to shoulder with the Priest, Mary, John…

At this new Mass we are sitting around a table…sharing our stories.

It’s quite sad, really.

And I do know there are some extremely Reverent Celebrations of the Holy Mass in the Form of the new Mass. The problem is they are only the exception…not the rule. In my experience. Even so, it is much more difficult to see the Mass as Calvary, even in the most Reverently Celebrated new Mass.

How was the Tridentine Mass of 500 years the Mass of the Ages? What about the previous 1500 years?
How are we shoulder to shoulder with the Priest in Tridentine? We only look at his back, non-participatingly, trying to find in English what he is praying so beautifully in Latin.

How are we sitting around the table sharing stories at the Novus Ordo? As Usher at all Masses, I would motion silence to anyone chatting, and If they continue, I would ask them to Leave.
