WI after Vatican II the Roman Catholic Church continued on with the Tridentine, or Latin, Mass? One of the reasons Pope Paul VI cited for his new Mass (the one most celebrated today) was to make the Mass more relevant to the modern world. Was this reform necessary? Could the church continue on with a medieval liturgical mindset up until the present day?

A minority of Catholics (like me) still worship at the Latin Mass, so in some respects they are living this WI scenario. But what would have happened if reform never happened and everyone continued on as before? Would this decision alienate people from the Church, or would alienation stem from other factors that have come to pass in OTL?
