Traditionalist Catholics are more likely than Roman Catholics in general to follow: disciplinary practices such as abstaining from meat on all Fridays that do not coincide with an important liturgical feast, fasting from the previous midnight before receiving Holy Communion, and women covering their heads in church; devotional exercises such as the Rosary and wearing a scapular. None of these practices or exercises is peculiar to traditionalist Catholics. Perhaps the only clear distinguishing mark of certa ...

Some traditionalist Catholics attend "Tridentine" Mass within diocesan structures. The Congregation for Divine Worship's circular letter Quattuor abhinc annos of 3 October 1984 granted diocesan bishops an indult to authorize celebration of Mass according to the 1962 edition of the Roman Missal in favour of priests and faithful who request it and who clearly do not share the positions adopted by those who question the lawfulness and doctrinal soundness of the 1970 edition.
