What Is the Novus Ordo, or the Mass of Paul VI

Novus Ordo is short for Novus Ordo Missae, which literally means the “new order of the Mass” or the “new ordinary of the Mass.” The term Novus Ordo is often used as shorthand to distinguish the Mass promulgated by Pope Paul VI in 1969 from the Traditional Latin Mass promulgated by Pope Pius V in 1570
