We’ve been down this road before, Big Girl, and I believe you are an honorable and caring person. However, the Novus Ordo is a NEW religion designed by modernists to destroy or remold the Church and all it stood for into a shape that will be anathema to those Catholics who understood the value of the catechism and the Church proclaimed by Pope Pius V to exist in its then present form in perpetuity.
Does that mean that all those popes succeeding Pius XII are liars and did not mean to continue Christ’s Church on earth? I believe the answer is yes and further believe that Lucifer has moved in and taken over the papacy.
This reminds me of the legions of Congressmen who took an oath to defend the Constitution as written and promulgated by America’s founding fathers, only to renege on that oath and follow the dictates of that percentage of the population who worships the wrong god.
That is why there is an allowed rite for those Catholics that want the TLM. It is one of the many rites in the Catholic Church. As long as the NO is done in a reverant and proper manner, it is still a legit rite.
You have your opinion, I have mine.
