FAST FACTS
TRIDENTINE MASS
The Tridentine Mass of the Roman Catholic Church was named for the Council of Trent from which it stemmed.
The council met in 25 sessions under three popes from 1545 to 1563.
Its main objective was to define church doctrine in answer to what it saw as Protestant heresies and enact a thorough reform of the Church.
The revised Roman Missal was released in 1570. This is the traditional form of the Mass used by Catholics worldwide until 1962.

The missal for the traditional Mass includes an explanation of the priest’s movements along with Latin and English text.
