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'.
