Again, your point is based on falsehood. The Liturgy is of apostolic age. You can believe that is you wish, but the fact is there is no evidence to suggest that the apostles or early century Christians would have recognized the medieval-modern blasphemy known as the Roman Mass.

It’s of a certainty that they wouldn’t recognise (as Christian) the modernist heresy that is protestantism. Indeed, they would recoil in horror at the self-so-called “reformation”.

There's plenty of evidence that Trent merely codified existing Roman usage that goes back to the early 5th Century. There's little or nothing "medieval" about it. The Byzantine Rite is of similar antiquity.
Read this for an even earlier view of Roman liturgy.

The Mass in its current form goes back to the 1st century.
