The mass as celebrated by
Latin rite Roman Catholics till ~1962 when the mass was reformed to what is called the 'ordinary form'. The (traditional)
latin mass is sometimes called the Tridentine mass. The mass is in latin, mostly inaudible to the attenders, the priest faces away from the
people, much more solemn and ritualistic. Now it tends to be an SSPX or RadTrad fixation who are ultra-conservative and ultra-traditional. Despite that there is some actual Roman Catholic usage, and increasing usage
like with the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Peter, but it remains the 'extraordinary form'.
Person 1: The Latin Mass is very beautiful and solemn.
Person 2: But I couldn't hear the Priest at all. Also I was at the back so I couldn't even see what was going on.
Person 3: The
new mass focuses on community and participation,
like the early church, maybe the new mass doesn't have the solemness and beauty of the former but we can keep working on it.
RadTrad: You ALL don't even have the real mass anymore, you aren't real Catholics, the Pope is an imposter, and you all should be afraid because
Jesus came to dispense justice just
like the movie "Judge Dredd" (1995)
Person 1, 2, 3: You need
help RadTrad.
