This is a dynamic list and may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness. You can help by adding missing items with reliable sources.

Despite the liturgical reform that took place in the Latin Church by the introduction of a new form of the Roman Rite in the late 1960s, some communities have continued to celebrate the traditional liturgical rites, or have adopted them later. This includes priestly societies and religious institutes which use some pre-1970 edition of the Roman Missal or of a similar missal in communion with the Holy See. The following list includes those communities, as well as groups that are not in full communion with the Holy See,[A] with these being demarcated in two main sections. Most use a pre-1970 edition of the Roman Missal, usually the 1962 Missal, but some follow other Latin liturgical rites and thus celebrate not the Tridentine Mass but a form of liturgy permitted under the 1570 papal bull Quo primum. Many of these communities describe themselves as traditionalist Catholics.

The pre-1970 Roman Missal was never abrogated by the Catholic Church, yet it was rarely used and some times prohibited post-Vatican II. To clarify the fact that the traditional Roman Rite had never been abrogated, and expand the liturgy's use, Pope Benedict XVI issued in 2007 a motu proprio titled Summorum Pontificum. In 2021, Pope Francis abrogated these more expansive permissions with his motu proprio Traditionis custodes, seeking to emphasize the celebration of the more commonly used Mass of Paul VI.

This list makes a distinction between those communities using the Tridentine (or other traditional) Rite exclusively, and those which normally celebrate in both forms (Ordinary and Extraordinary) as part of their charism (classified here as bi-formal). It must be noted that those communities using exclusively the traditional rites, may rarely also celebrate or concelebrate Mass in the Ordinary Form, for example, as an external sign of ecclesial communion with a local bishop in the Chrism Mass, or in other particular occasions. However, as the Ordinary Form is not a normal and expected part of their charism, this sporadic celebrations do not turn them into bi-formal for the effects of this classification.

As of 2023, the largest priestly communities using the Tridentine Mass exclusively are the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Peter (FSSP) with 386 priests, Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest (ICKSP) with 147 priests and Institute of the Good Shepherd (IBP) with 62 priests.[B]

Notes

  1. The Catholic Church makes a distinction between full and partial communion: where full communion exists, there is but the one Church; partial communion, on the other hand, exists where some elements of Christian faith are held in common, but complete unity on essentials is lacking. Full communion involves completeness of "those bonds of communion – faith, sacraments and pastoral governance – that permit the Faithful to receive the life of grace within the Church."[1]
  2. The Society of Saint Pius X (SSPX), with 707 priests, outnumbers them all, yet it is in a irregular canonical situation, lacking thus full communion with the Church's hierarchy.
  3. Houses in: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Colombia, Czech Republic, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Nigeria, Poland, Spain, Switzerland, United Kingdom, United States.[5]
