I agree with most of your points. I disagree on whose fault it is:

Rome approved the NAB.

Rome lifted the abstinence of flesh meat on Fridays.

Rome, itself and to this day, refuses to publicly offer the Holy Mass ad Orientum.

Rome approved Extarordinarily Ugly Eucharsistic Monsters.

Rome approved Holy Communion in the Paw.

Rome approved altar girls.

Don’t blame it on the US bishops. The fish starts to rot at the head.
