Canon law is internal ecclesiastical law governing the Roman Catholic Church, the Eastern Orthodox churches and the Anglican Communion of churches The Council of Trent was the 19th Ecumenical Council of the Roman Catholic Church. Accordingly, in order to implement a decision of that council, he standardized the Holy Mass by promulgating the 1570 edition of the Roman Missal. The Mass is the Eucharistic celebration in the Latin liturgical rites of the Roman Catholic Church. The Tridentine Mass (Missa Tridentina is the form of the Roman Rite Mass contained in the typical editions of the Roman Missal that were published Pope Pius V made this Missal mandatory throughout the Latin rite of the Catholic Church, except where a Mass liturgy dating from before 1370 was in use. This form of the Mass remained essentially unchanged for 400 years until the modern revision of the Roman Missal in 1969/1970, after which it has become widely known as the Traditional Latin Mass; nowadays this rite, when considering the modifications made in 1960-1962 by Pope John XXIII, is known as the Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite.
