Core tenet of Traditionalist Catholicism
The Tridentine Mass is the Mass.
Latin, ad orientem, the canon whispered: the rite of centuries is not one option among many but the standard the new rite must answer to.
Understanding it — context, not catechism: how this passage is held
Traditionalist Catholics hold that the Tridentine Mass, codified in 1570, expresses the faith more fully than the reformed rite of 1969, and many hold that the older rite can never be abrogated. Latin, the priest facing east with the people, communion on the tongue while kneeling, and the silent canon are the visible markers. The Society of St. Pius X, founded by Archbishop Lefebvre, is the largest organized body, and its canonical status has been irregular since the 1988 episcopal consecrations.
