Before the Council of Trent, the Roman Catholic liturgy varied from place to place but was always celebrated in Latin with the priest facing the altar rather than the people. Various other "rites" existed, most notably the Mozarabic Rite in Spain, the Sarum Rite in England, the Norbertine Rite in the Low Countries, etc. The goal of the Council of Trent was to impose uniform belief and practice on the entire Roman Church in order to prevent further infiltration by Protestant sects. The order of mass that was championed by the Council in the sixteenth century and which later became known as the "Tridentine Mass" was actually the localized form of the Roman Rite, celebrated throughout Italy and dating back to Pope St. Gregory the Great and beyond. Though the Council of Trent imposed uniform worship on diocesean churches, older rites of 200 years or more - thereby free of Protestant influence - were permitted to continue to be celebrated by the various monastic communities and regions that held to them. What should be noted is that the current "Novus Ordo" mass is a Protestant-inspired invention completely alien to Catholic theology and standard liturgical practice. Before 1970 nothing like what you now see in Catholic churches across this country was ever celebrated at a Roman altar, at least not since Cranmer orchestrated the Anglican takeover of the Roman liturgy during the Reformation in England.

Is Reform Judaism becoming more 'orthodox'?
Orthodox may be the wrong term, but traditional Reform in the early 20th century abandoned a large number of practices that it has since or is now reclaiming. A century ago, there were many Reform synagogues that moved their primary public service to Sunday instead of Saturday, where any congregant wearing a kippah (yarmulke) or tallit (prayer shawl) was looked on as disruptive, and the Reform liturgy was sharply shortened by largely eliminating the preliminary services before the call to worship. Today, most Reform synagogues have abandoned having their primary weekly service on Sunday morning, wearing a kippah and tallit is no longer unusual, and the current Reform prayerbook has restored the preliminary services (with notes saying some congregations skip them).
