The term "Tridentine Mass" applies to celebrations in accordance with the successive editions of the [[Roman Missal]] whose title attribute them to the [[Council of Trent]] (''Missale Romanum ex decreto Sacrosancti Concilii Tridentini restitutum'') and to the pope or popes who made the revision represented in the edition in question. The first of these editions is that of 1570, in which the mention of the Council of Trent is followed by a reference to [[Pope Pius V]] (''Pii V Pont. Max. iussu editum'').<ref>Manlio Sodi, Achille Maria Triacca, ''Missale Romanum'', Editio Princeps (1570) (Libreria Editrice Vaticana 1998) {{ISBN|978-88-209-2547-5}}</ref> The last, that of 1962, mentions the popes only generically (''Missale Romanum ex decreto SS. Concilii Tridentini restitutum Summorum Pontificum cura recognitum''). Editions later than that of 1962 mention the [[Second Vatican Council]] instead of the Council of Trent, as in the 2002 edition: ''Missale Romanum ex decreto Sacrosancti Oecumenici Concilii Vaticani II instauratum auctoritati Pauli Pp. VI promulgatum Ioannis Pauli Pp. II cura recognitum''.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.clerus.org/bibliaclerusonline/es/1d.htm|title=Sumario|website=www.clerus.org}}</ref>

Sometimes the term "Tridentine Mass" is applied restrictively to Masses in which the final 1962 edition of the Tridentine Roman Missal is used, the only edition still authorized, under certain conditions, as an extraordinary form of the Roman Rite Mass.<ref name="auto">{{Cite web|url=https://www.vatican.va/content/benedict-xvi/en/motu_proprio/documents/hf_ben-xvi_motu-proprio_20070707_summorum-pontificum.html|title=Motu Proprio Summorum Pontificum on the "Roman liturgy prior to the reform of 1970" (July 7, 2007) &#124; BENEDICT XVI|website=www.vatican.va}}</ref>

Some speak of this form of Mass as "the Latin Mass". This too is a restrictive use of a term whose proper sense is wider. The Second Vatican Council Mass also has its normative text, from which vernacular translations are made, in [[Latin]], and, except at Masses scheduled by the ecclesiastical authorities to take place in the language of the people, it can everywhere be celebrated in Latin.<ref name="RS">{{cite web |author=Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacrament |title=Redemptionis Sacramentum |date=2004-04-23 |url=https://www.vatican.va/roman_curia/congregations/ccdds/documents/rc_con_ccdds_doc_20040423_redemptionis-sacramentum_en.html |quote=Mass is celebrated either in Latin or in another language, provided that liturgical texts are used which have been approved according to the norm of law.

A few speak of the Tridentine Mass in general or of its 1962 form as the "[[Preconciliar rites after the Second Vatican Council|Gregorian Rite]]".<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/2129070/Latin-mass-to-return-to-England-and-Wales.html |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20220112/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/2129070/Latin-mass-to-return-to-England-and-Wales.html |archive-date=2022-01-12 |url-access=subscription |url-status=live |title=Latin mass to return to England and Wales |newspaper=[[The Daily Telegraph]] |date=2008-06-14 |access-date=2008-06-17 |last= Thompson |first=Damian}}{{cbignore}}</ref> The term "Tridentine Rite" is also sometimes met with,<ref>[http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/basis/latinmass2.html Medieval Sourcebook]; [http://webarchive.loc.gov/all/20080212213620/http://www.catholicnews.com/data/stories/cns/0800689.htm Pope reformulates Tridentine rite's prayer for Jews]</ref> but [[Pope Benedict XVI]] declared it inappropriate to speak of the 1962 version and that published by later popes as if they were two "rites". Rather, he said, it is a matter of a twofold "use" of one and the same Roman "rite".<ref name="extraordinaria" /> [[Hugh Somerville-Knapman]], O.S.B., says that they should be separate rites, as the Mass promulgated at the Council of Trent was already the pre-existing liturgy of the [[Diocese of Rome]] and has direct continuity with the Mass practiced by the apostles, whereas the changes made in implementing the [[Mass of Paul VI]] are so great that it no longer resembles any Catholic liturgy practiced prior to the 20th century.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2019-04-04|title=The strange birth of the Novus Ordo|url=https://catholicherald.co.uk/the-strange-birth-of-the-novus-ordo/|access-date=2021-06-19|website=Catholic Herald}}</ref>{{failed verification|date=June 2023}}

Other names for the edition promulgated by [[Pope John XXIII]] in 1962 (the last to bear the indication ''ex decreto Sacrosancti Concilii Tridentini restitutum'') are the ''Extraordinary Form'', or the ''usus antiquior'' ("more ancient usage" in [[Ecclesiastical Latin|Latin]] ).<ref>{{Cite web |last=Hodge |first=Brendan |date=19 July 2021 |title=How extraordinary is the Extraordinary Form?

[[Traditionalist Catholics]], whose best-known characteristic is an attachment to the Tridentine Mass, frequently refer to it as the "Traditional Mass" or the "Traditional Latin Mass". They describe as a "codifying" of the form of the Mass the preparation of Pius V's edition of the Roman Missal, of which he said that the experts to whom he had entrusted the work collated the existing text with ancient manuscripts and writings, restored it to "the original form and rite of the holy Fathers" and further emended it.<ref name="QP">{{cite web |url = http://www.papalencyclicals.net/Pius05/p5quopri.htm |title = Quo primum |date = 14 July 1570 |access-date = 2008-03-25 |quote = We decided to entrust this work to learned men of our selection. They very carefully collated all their work with the ancient codices in Our Vatican Library and with reliable, preserved or emended codices from elsewhere. Besides this, these men consulted the works of ancient and approved authors concerning the same sacred rites; and thus ''they have restored the Missal'' itself to the original form and rite of the holy Fathers. When this work has been gone over numerous times and ''further emended'', after serious study and reflection, We commanded that the finished product be printed and published.}}</ref> To distinguish this form of Mass from the Vatican II Mass, traditionalist Catholics sometimes call it the "Mass of the Ages",<ref>[http://www.catholiceducation.org/articles/religion/re0540.html The Mass of Vatican II]</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.dailycatholic.org/holymass.htm|title=DAILY PROPER (holymass.htm)|website=www.dailycatholic.org}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.unavocela.org/noindult.htm|title=Unavocela.org|website=www.unavocela.org|access-date=2008-08-15|archive-date=2008-07-24|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080724234449/http://unavocela.org/noindult.htm|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.osjknights.com/priories.htm |title=Priories of the Order of Saint John of Jerusalem |access-date=2008-08-15 |archive-date=2013-09-27 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130927122857/http://www.osjknights.com/priories.htm |url-status=usurped }}</ref> and say that it comes to us "from the Church of the Apostles, and ultimately, indeed, from Him Who is its principal Priest and its spotless Victim".<ref>{{Cite web|title=The Mass of the Apostles|url=http://www.syonabbey.org/Publications/massapostles.html|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://archive.today/20120915074642/http://www.syonabbey.org/Publications/massapostles.html|archive-date=15 September 2012|website=syonabbey.org|access-date=15 August 2008}}</ref>
