A Requiem would be faster (omit the Gloria, about 1/2 of the prayers at the foot of the altar, etc.), but was not allowed on that day... Besides, according to St. Alphonsus Liguori, "any Mass under 15 mins. is a mortal sin..." why would we want to limit our time with the Lord? I'm no Padre Pio (for sure...) but his Masses would last hours...
Ultramontanism is a religious philosophy within the Catholic Church that places strong emphasis on the prerogatives and powers of the pope. In particular, ultramontanism asserts the superiority of Papal authority over the authority of local temporal power.
The term originates in ecclesiastical language from the Middle Ages and means literally "beyond the mountains" (referring to the Alps).
The word was revived after the Protestant Reformation in France. In France, the name "ultramontain" was applied to people who supported papal authority in French political affairs. "The man beyond the mountains" referred to the pope, located in Italy.
Those of an Ultramontanist philosophy take comfort in the retention of doctrinal and disciplinary supremacy by the Roman Pontiff and the Roman Curia which serves and represents him.

Can you go any faster? I'm surprised the 10min limit didn't encapsulate the whole Mass!
