What is the Tridentine Mass?

Is that the mass that is in English or is it the Latin rite?i.e.( The mass said in Latin )
 
“Tridentine” is a reference to the Council of Trent in the 16th Century, and the liturgies were in Latin at that point in time.
 
Tridentine means of the Council of Trent. That Council led to a standardized Latin Rite Mass in 1570. The term “Tridentine Mass” today usually refers to a Mass according to the Missal of 1962, promulgated by Pope John XXIII. The current Latin rite Missal was promulgated by Pope John Paul II in 1982. The earlier Latin rite Mass would always be said in Latin. Today, there are approved Mass translations in many languages.

Short answer: The Latin Rite is also called the Roman Rite. The Tridentine Mass uses the Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite and the language is in Latin (no matter which Country you live). Novus Ordo uses the Ordinary Form of the Roman Rite and the language used is any other that isn’t Latin (In US, it is done in English, generally).

The word Latin in “Latin Catholics” does not refer to the Latin Language, same with “Latin Rite”.

Long explanation:

What is a Rite ?
A Rite represents an ecclesiastical, or church, tradition about how the sacraments are to be celebrated.

There are **three major **groupings of Rites based on this initial transmission of the faith, the Roman, the Antiochian (Syria) and the Alexandrian (Egypt). Later on the Byzantine derived as a major Rite from the Antiochian, under the influence of St. Basil and St. John Chrysostom. From these four derive the over 20 liturgical Rites present in the Church today.


  1. **Roman/Latin rite **– The overwhelming majority of Latin Catholics and of Catholics in general.

    –** Ordinary Form of the Roman Rite. **Mass celebrated in accordance with the Missale Romanum of 1970, promulgated by Pope Paul VI, currently in its third edition (2002). The vernacular editions of this Missal, as well as the rites of the other sacraments, are translated from the Latin typical editions revised after the Second Vatican Council.
    – Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite. Mass celebrated in accordance with the Missale Romanum of 1962, promulgated by Blessed Pope John XXIII. The other sacraments are celebrated according to the Roman Ritual in force at the time of the Second Vatican Council. The Extraordinary Form is most notable for being almost entirely in Latin. In addition to institutes which have the faculty to celebrate the Extraordinary Form routinely, such as the Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter and the Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest, any Latin Rite priest may now offer the Mass and other sacraments in accordance with norms of Summorum Pontificum.
    – Anglican Use. Since the 1980s the Holy See has granted some former Anglican and Episcopal clergy converting with their parishes the faculty of celebrating the sacramental rites according to Anglican forms, doctrinally corrected.
