 Thus Pope Benedict XVI referred to this form of the Roman Rite Mass by linking it, in his motu proprio "Summorum Pontificum" of 7 July 2007, with "the Roman Missal promulgated by Pope Paul VI in 1970" or, in his accompanying letter of the same date to the bishops of the Church, "the Missal published by Paul VI and then republished in two subsequent editions by John Paul II".The now less frequently used names "Mass of Paul VI", "Pauline Mass", and "Mass of Saint Paul VI" refer to Pope Paul VI, who promulgated the first edition (which was followed by later editions promulgated by Pope John Paul II).However, the name normally used in publications that, a generation or more after the death of Pope Paul VI, speak of the Roman Rite of Mass as further revised by his successors is the "post-Vatican II Mass".
