About the Traditional Latin Mass
More about the Traditional Latin Mass
The Traditional Latin Mass also goes by other names: Tridentine Mass, Extraordinary Form Mass, Mass of St. Pius V, Usus Antiquior. It is the form of Mass that was used throughout the Latin Rite of the Catholic Church until 1969, and which still continues to be used by numerous parishes, congregations and religious orders around the world.
It is the form of Mass that was brought by the first Catholic missionaries to Uganda, and was attended by the martyrs of Uganda. The Traditional Latin Mass differs in many ways from the Novus Ordo Missae, or “New Mass” promulgated by pope Paul VI in 1969, which can also be celebrated in latin.
