Pope to restore Tridentine Mass
First of all we speculate that this restoration is actually the establishment of a new rite in the Pog Church. Ironically the New Rite instituted by Antipope Paul VI will be the old rite, and the old rite he replaced will become the new rite.
Some Traditionalists have longed for a seperate rite from the Novus Ordo, where they could have their luiturgical traditions undisturbed.
What is being restored, according to reports, is the 1962 Missal of Antipope John XXIII. This is not the Tridentine Mass, but a close approximation. In fact the major change is not apparent to the audience, since the Canon is still recited silently.
“Once there are no more valid priests, they’ll permit the Latin Mass.”

This motu proprio gives the conditions under which the John XXIII Mass may be used. These include accepting the Novus Ordo Missae in the vernacular for all form as valid and the theology behind it as declared in two 1970 decrees from Rome on this subject. Therefore a priest whoa ccepts this means for all, when he says pro multis in the John XXIII Mass.
