They do like the High Latin N.O. Mass at St. Matthew's in D.C.

It's been about seven years since I have been to Matthew's in DC. It was a beautiful Cathedral - hope it still is!

St. Matthew's is still beautiful, as is the music and the High Latin N.O. Mass. They chime the bells at the Consecration just like they used to do at Mass pre-VII. I think that this is the way the N.O was meant to be.
OTOH, I pulled out my old St. Pius X Missal and read the words of the Mass in both Latin and English. I was drawn like a magnet, the language is so beautiful that you truly feel that the Liturgy is heavenly. I'm afraid that the language of the N.O., even at it's best, can't hold a candle to the words of the Tridentine Mass.
