There is no such thing as a "Novus Ordo Church", but only the Catholic Church, like the Christ who founded her, the same yesterday, today and forever. Limbo was never something dogmatically defined, nor something that has always and everywhere been taught in the Church explicitly or implicitly from the Apostles. It is thus open to speculation. Not every word of St. Thomas Aquinas necessarily represents the Deposit of Faith. He didn't support the Immaculate Conception, for example.

Yes, but even aquinas admitted he had only learned a "drop in the barrel" of what Catholicism is. And Novus Ordo could be a way to describe the current Church when comparing it to say, the SSPX for example.

There is the Church and there is Newchurch (aka Conciliar church, Amchurch, etc). The former is the church of my grandparents, parents ... and myself (where I can find it). The latter is man-made, corrupt, alien, banal, worthless ....
