This is adynamic list and may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness. You can help byediting the page to add missing items, with references toreliable sources.
This list includes communities which are incommunion with theHoly See, as well as groups that are not in full communion with it,[A] with these being demarcated in two main sections. Most use a pre-1970 edition of the Roman Missal, usually the 1962 Missal, but some follow otherLatin liturgical rites and thus celebrate not the Roman Rite but a form ofliturgy permitted under the 1570 papal bullQuo primum.
The pre-1970Roman Missal was never abrogated by the Catholic Church, yet it was rarely used and sometimes prohibited by local authorities after Vatican II. To clarify the fact that thetraditional Roman and other Latin liturgical rites had never been abrogated, and to expand and promote the ancient liturgy's use,Pope Benedict XVI issued in 2007 amotu proprio titledSummorum Pontificum, which was complemented by the instructionUniversæ Ecclesiæ in 2011. This superseded previous documents already favorable to the traditional rites:Quattuor abhinc annos andEcclesia Dei (both byJohn Paul II). However,Pope Francis abrogated these more expansive permissions in 2021, with themotu proprioTraditionis custodes.
This list makes a distinction between those communities using the traditional Roman (or other traditional) rite exclusively, and those which normally celebrate in both forms (modern and traditional)[B] as part of their charism. Those communities usingexclusively the traditional rites, may rarely also celebrate or concelebrate Mass in the modern Roman rite, for example, as an external sign of ecclesial communion with a local bishop in theChrism Mass, or in other particular occasions. However, as the modern Roman rite is not a normal and expected part of their charism, this sporadic celebrations do not turn them into bi-formal for the effects of this classification.[citation needed]

^The Catholic Church makes a distinction betweenfull and partial communion: where full communion exists, there is but the one Church; partial communion, on the other hand, exists where some elements of Christian faith are held in common, but complete unity on essentials is lacking. Full communion involves completeness of "those bonds of communion – faith, sacraments and pastoral governance – that permit the Faithful to receive the life of grace within the Church."[1]
