Traditionalist Catholics have in common dedication to attending Mass celebrated in Latin in accordance with a pre-1970 Roman Missal. Some reject the latest such Missal, issued in 1962 by Pope John XXIII, while a very few wish to return even to before the 1955 edition, which incorporates the numerous changes that Pope Pius XII made in the liturgy of the days from Palm Sunday to the Vigil of Easter (see Novus Ordo Missae). While no organization links all or even a majority of traditionalist Catholics, some of them associate with a socie ...

The relations of traditionalist Catholics with the Holy See naturally vary according to their attitude in its regard. In denying the legitimacy of the present Pope, sedevacantists also deny the authority of the decrees that he, and the Holy See in general, issue. If a sedevacantist group is headed by someone whom they call the true Pope, they may apply the term "Holy See" to their own group or part of it, instead of using it as ordinarily understood. Some traditionalist Catholics do not deny the legitimacy of the Pope, but, as ...

Traditionalist Catholic and traditional Catholic are terms used to refer to Roman Catholics who want to see the worship and customs of the general body of Roman Catholics return to those prevailing before the reforms of the 1960s. Many of them claim that, since then, the presentation and the understanding of the Church's teaching have changed, at least in emphasis, to an unacceptable degree; some exclude from the meaning of the two terms those whose views on this matter are more liberal. Traditionalist Cath ...

Traditionalist Catholics believe that they preserve orthodoxy by refusing to accept certain changes introduced since the Second Vatican Council, changes that some of them describe as "a veritable revolution". Those who accept Pope Benedict XVI and his immediate predecessors as true Popes view the Second Vatican Council as a valid, albeit problematic, Council. But most "sedevacantists" regard Pope Pius XII as the last true Pope, and judge the Council, convened and ra ...

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. The priests who offer these Masses may be members of priestly s ...
