The Archbishop of Westminster has recently issued a "warning message" to traditional Catholics not to denigrate the Novus Ordo and says that those who think the Novus Ordo is "in some way deficient" are "inexorably distancing themselves from the Church".
Apparently Catholics are supposed to keep their mouths shut and heads in the sand about serious problems such as the lack of reverence, reduced belief in the Real Presence, etc. which may be attributable to the Novus Ordo as well as the fact that abuse is rampant in many parishes and that Protestants who are traditionally fierce enemies of the Mass accept the Novus Ordo (even without changing their theology). We are also apparently supposed to ignore the many bad fruits associated with the 1960's rite as well as the fact that it was created with the assistance of Protestants (heretics) and that its chief architect is a suspected Freemason who said that "The liturgical reform is a major conquest of the Catholic Church" (Archbishop Bugnini)
The Westminster Archbishop failed to address his "warning" statement's necessary conclusion that Pope Benedict XVI, Cardinals Ottaviani & Bacci, and Archbishop Dwyer, etc. must have also "inexorably distanced themselves from the Church" due to their public statements which indicate that the Novus Ordo is "in some way deficient". For example:
"...in the place of liturgy as the fruit of development came fabricated liturgy. We abandoned the organic, living process of growth and development over the centuries, and replaced it - as in a manufacturing process - with a fabrication, a banal, on-the-spot product." (Cardinal Ratzinger, the future Pope Benedict XVI)
"We have limited ourselves above to a short study of the Novus Ordo where it deviates most seriously from the theology of the Catholic Mass. Our observations touch upon deviations which are typical. To prepare a complete study of all the pitfalls, dangers and psychologically and spiritually destructive elements the new rite contains, whether in texts, rubrics or instructions, would be a vast undertaking." (Cardinals Ottaviani & Bacci)
"What was intended by Vatican Council II as a means of making the liturgy more easily understood by the average Christian, has turned out to be something more like an *rgy of stripping it of all sense of reverence, bringing it down to the level of commonness where the very people for whom the changes were made now only yawn out of sheer boredom with the banality of the result." (Archbishop Dwyer)
How is it that Pope Benedict XVI, Cardinals Ottaviani & Bacci, and Archbishop Dwyer could have "inexorably distanced themselves from the Church" by speaking the truth? How is that even possible?
Interestingly, the same Archbishop failed to issue a "warning message" to the pro-homosexual "Catholic" organization in his diocese which recently praised s*domite adoption. Guess they were somehow able to avoid "inexorably distancing themselves from the Church" even though they are fostering sin & denigrating Holy Matrimony by placing marriage on the same level unnatural, sinful s*domite unions. He also reportedly supports government s*x education programs called "diabolical".
Apparently homosexual adoptions are okay, "diabolical" sex education for youths is okay, but speaking the truth against the committee-created 1960's rite is bad enough to distance once from the Church inexorably - apparently even including the Pope. Yea, right.
