The term Latin Mass (Mass celebrated in Latin) is applicable to any of the present or historical forms of the Eucharistic liturgy celebrated in that language.
However, the term is often used to denote specifically the Tridentine Mass, that is, the Roman-Rite liturgy of the Mass celebrated in accordance with the successive editions of the Roman Missal from Pope Pius V's 1570 edition to that promulgated by Pope John XXIII in 1962. In most countries this form of Mass was celebrated only in Latin (incorporating a few words or phrases in Greek and Hebrew), though other languages were used in a few places: see the Language section in the main article.
The present-day form of the Mass of the Roman Rite is sometimes celebrated in Latin,[1] and the term "Latin Mass" is sometimes also used to refer to such celebrations.
In Rome, the Eucharist seems to have been celebrated originally in Greek, but Latin began to be used probably some time in the third century. The successive forms of the Mass liturgy used in Rome (see Pre-Tridentine Mass) were then in Latin.
The Roman Rite is not the only one celebrated in Latin. Other Latin liturgical rites used that language, and the few that still survive are sometimes celebrated in Latin. These include the Ambrosian Rite and the Mozarabic Rite. Some individuals and communities continue to use, with or without authorization, non-Roman rites that have been officially abandoned, such as the Carmelite Rite and the Dominican Rite, celebrating them in Latin.
A Traditionalist Catholic periodical in the United States is entitled The Latin Mass, the Journal of Catholic Culture & Tradition.
