Traditionalist Catholicism is a movement within the Roman Catholic Church that seeks to restore many rituals and practices that were restricted after the modernizing changes of the Second Vatican Council (1962–65). Central to the movement is the restoration of the traditional Latin mass, a form of worship that was officially replaced by the vernacular mass (the novus ordo, or “new order”) in 1970. Some traditionalist groups have caused schism (a break in the unity of the church), whereas others have engaged in traditionalist practices without breaking full communion with the church.
