This Requiem Mass at St. Olav’s Cathedral in Norway, is a splendid Bugnini Requiem and the way that a modern Requiem should be celebrated. Please note that the Propers are chanted in Latin, the Kyrie the 9-fold Greek version and the Sanctus, Mysterium Fidei and Agnus Dei in Latin. Everything else is in Norway’s native language.
The Priest-Celebrant chants the Eucharistic Prayer, Communicants kneel at the altar railing to receive Holy Communion.
There is no way to deny that Pope Benedict XVI’s liturgical magisterium about the solemn celebration of the Mass of Paul VI has had a world-wide influence.
Let us pray that more parishes worldwide follow the genius of Pope Benedict XVI as it concerns the Mass of Paul VI!

Nice to see them using black vestments!
Father-absolutely fantastic. But also sheer fantasy; most priests in my experience (as an observer)would be disciplined for wearing Black vestments and placing a Crucifix and Candles preventing the congregation seeing the actions of the priest and the elevation.
This is what one of the creators of the Novus Bogus had to say:
Fr. Joseph Gelineau, a favorite of Archbishop Bugnini and consultant to his Consilium responsible for creating the New Mass, admitted in his essay ‘Tomorrow the Liturgy’ that the New Mass destroyed the Roman Rite: “In truth, it [the Novus Ordo] is a different liturgy of the Mass. This must be stated without ambiguities: The Roman rite as we knew it no longer exists. It is destroyed. The walls of the original edifice have fallen, while others have changed in appearance to the point that the structure today resembles either the ruins or the partial foundation of another building. The point is neither to weep over the ruins nor to dream of a historical reconstruction.”
