The Tridentine Movement is noted for its Orthodoxy and its stringincy in rules, as well as for its rapid growth, and the disrespect paid it by many heretical, liberal, or otherwise apposing bishops in the church. That does not mean that there are a large amount of heretical bishops, or that those apposing it are not doing it for valid reasons.  The response of schimatics to stifling of this movement under John Paul II, and the rampant abuses of Canon Law, by groups within those apposing this movement, especially within some so-called "charismatic" circles, and within radical traditionalist circles, has had the unfortunate effect of feeding schisms by some who have joined irregular groups such as the SSPX, whose masses Catholics should not be attending.

The danger of this movement, is that those taking it to extremes, tend to join groups like SSPX, or to calling the New Mass invalid, ignoring canon 1372, whereby a council cannot be used as recourse against an act of the Papacy.

Also often ignored- is that John Paul the Second also was the originally planning to release the ideas of Summorum Pontificum, which Benedict XVI later released, allowing for wider use of this rite.

Tridentine refers to "From Trent", this part of the church is known for its desire to have the mass said in latin as it was for over a millenia before recent allowances by Vatican II for limited use of the colloquial- which has resulted in mass use of this.

Tridentine South Africa- created by Scripturelink to forward this movement is often our voice on the matter.
