What is the specific name of the Daily Mass on EWTN? . . (Or what is the Mass called?)
Tridentine? . .

It’s definitely not Tridentine. If you’re familiar with the difference between the Mass of Paul VI and the [Tridentine Mass](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tridentine Mass), it’s the former. Most Catholics would just call it “Mass”; you could also call it a Mass “in the Ordinary Form,” which is a term the Pope has used to describe the status of the Mass of Paul VI.What is the specific name of the Daily Mass on EWTN? . .

It is said in Latin - so is it just called Daily Mass? . . I like watching it a Midnight.It’s definitely not Tridentine.

If I knew what exactly it was that you were interested in knowing, maybe I could help further.
Latin is the language that both the old (Tridentine; Extraordinary Form) and modern (Pauline; Ordinary Form) forms of the Mass are written in. It’s just that the old form can only be said in Latin (with a few very minor historical exceptions), while the modern form has also been translated into many current languages. So a parish can have a Mass in English at 11:15 and a Mass in Spanish at 1:30, with both being modern form of the Mass, just in different languages; likewise, a parish can have the modern form in English at 9:00, and the modern form in Latin at 11:00 – and also the old form (in Latin, of course) at 7:30 and 12:30.It is said in Latin - so is it just called Daily Mass? . .

It is probably just “Daily Mass” and doesn’t have specifice name attached to it.
I personally like the Mass where the catholic priest is facing the Altar and the sacrament and not the people (the body of Christ) . .
Isn’t the gospel then read in the vernacular before the sermon? It used to be done that way when I was growing up. I don’t remember the epistle being read in English. But doesn’t it make sense that the gospel should be proclaimed to the people in their own language? May this be done in the EF or must it always be in Latin?Latin is the language that both the old (Tridentine; Extraordinary Form) and modern (Pauline; Ordinary Form) forms of the Mass are written in.

By the way, unless I’ve missed some major developments, the daily Mass on EWTN isn’t really “in” Latin. It uses some Latin, for parts the Eucharistic Prayer, the Gloria, and so on, but at a genuine Extraordinary Form (Tridentine) Mass, everything, including the readings (though not including the homily) would be in Latin.
As I understand it, the rereading of the Gospel is considered part of the homily, and not an actual liturgical part of the Mass. I think there have also been alterations in some cases in which the readings are just straight-out done in the vernacular, but I’m not fully sure whether that’s ever been legitimate or if it’s just an alteration that people make on the fly because it makes sense.Isn’t the gospel then read in the vernacular before the sermon?

At the parish I attend the EF, the Latin epistle and gospel is suppressed although to me it makes more sense to have the epistle and gospel in Latin and then read in the vernacular at the sermon. Theoretically you should be able to remember more that way, especially if you make an effort to understand the Latin yourself. This is not required, just saying.Isn’t the gospel then read in the vernacular before the sermon? It used to be done that way when I was growing up.
