A QUERELA LITÚRGICA: TRADIÇÃO E RUPTURA NA IGREJA PÓS-VATICANO II – UM ESTUDO CANÔNICO E TEOLÓGICO SOBRE OS GRUPOS QUE REJEITAM O NOVUS ORDO MISSAE

ABSTRACT This article investigates the tension between the Apostolic See and traditional Catholic groups that reject the Mass promulgated by Paul VI after the Second Vatican Council, opting for the previous Roman Rite, known as the Tridentine Mass or the Mass of All Time. Through a historical, canonical, and theological approach, the study analyzes the main religious associations involved, highlighting their founders, foundation dates, distinctive doctrines, canonical status, estimated number of faithful, and significant events in their relationship with the Vatican. Among the groups examined are the Priestly Fraternity of St. Pius X, the Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter, the Institute of the Good Shepherd, the Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest, the Transalpine Redemptorists, and the Personal Apostolic Administration of St. John Mary Vianney, the latter standing out for its unique canonical regularity. Furthermore, the article explores the impact of future episcopal consecrations and the influence of the interpretation of the Second Vatican Council on doctrine, liturgy, and sacramental discipline. The analysis is based on the 1917 Code of Canon Law, the 1983 Code, magisterial documents, and an extensive body of specialized literature in multiple languages. Keywords: Tridentine Mass, Apostolic See, Second Vatican Council, Traditionalist Groups, Canon Law.
