We specify Roman Liturgy to express this website is dedicated to the study the ordinary form of the Roman Rite of the Roman Catholic Church, currently in use.
It is the rite celebrated by the Bishop of Rome, since Pope Paul VI, and is used in Western Europe, whole America and Oceany, a great part of Africa, and several parts of Asia.
