A shame that he does not say what happened during the reign of Mary, before Elizabeth. And interesting that mention of the Virgin Mary is incorporated with the saints into an intention, and not in a separate prayer.

What Bugnini was advocating was a formula such as "Let us ask the Virgin Mary and all the Saints to join their prayers to ours as we remember those who are sick / have died / etc...", rather than a separate prayer addressed to Our Lady. This seems to me to be a good solution to a liturgical / pastoral / theological dilemma.

Bugnini was good for something then?

I do so love irony.
