Unlike the Traditional Latin Mass, which refers to the form of the Roman Rite prior to the reforms of Vatican II, ad orientem is a posture that can be used in the celebration of the post-conciliar Mass.

      Duh, per the article, “Unlike the Traditional Latin Mass, which refers to the form of the Roman Rite prior to the reforms of Vatican II, ad orientem is a posture that can be used in the celebration of the post-conciliar Mass.”

      If you don’t understand that, then I can’t help you. Seriously. I don’t either.

      Ok, I skimmed it. It means everyone faces the same way. My assumption is that instead of performing rites for the worshippers, the priest will face the back of the church like everyone else.
