I don't "rank" Masses. Any Mass that changes the bread and wine into Christ's BOdy and Blood is the Mass, as long as it is approved by the Church.

The Tridentine Mass is the Mass; the Novus Ordo is the Mass.

I see you're not familiar with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.

CANON I.--If any one saith, that in the mass a true and proper sacriflce is not offered to God; or, that to be offered is nothing else but that Christ is given us to eat; let him be anathema. - Council of Trent

Well heck, even the Black Mass is a Mass, so why not have that, according to your argument?

[Mershon]

Yes, but the Eastern rites are not called "the Mass," but the Divine Liturgy, so let's try to be a little more ecumenical, huh?

What about "Eucharistic celebration"? Why are you calling it to the Mass?
