Also, the rubrics call for altar boys only. That's going to be problematic for many of your typical Catholics these days.

Yes. My cousin and his wife died two months apart (they were in their mid 80s) and they each had a Requiem Mass in Latin with Gregorian Chanting.

There were 6 altar boys ages 5 to the oldest of 17. The 17 year old guided each boy with a nod of his head and assisted the priest as a Deacon would. They all wore hassocks of white over black. The priest wore the traditional black and silver.

The boys were well trained. The 5 year old looked like an angel especially when he and the others sat around the altar on the steps. I imagined they were the Angels sitting at the feet of our Lord.

They were very holy occasions.

Then it probably won't be celebrated in those parishes. The wonderful thing about a universal indult is that is will allow the celebration of the Tridentine Mass for those who wish it, not require it for those who prefer the NO Mass.

But great for grooming young Catholic men for the priesthood.
