Its destruction of the outward institutional body was predicted by many at the time, not the least of whom were von Hildebrand and Ottaviani, Bacci and those who composed and would have signed the Critical Study.

Cardinal Alfredo Ottaviani and the Novus Ordo after Paul VI's elucidations regarding the dogmatic presuppositions / foundations of the Roman Missal of 1970

TCR Note: Here we see how Cardinal Ottaviani ended up repudiating the so-called "Ottaviani Intervention" initiated and written by men who would later fall into schism & Sedevacantism (Lefebvre, M.L. Guerard des Lauriers, et al) after Paul VI's declarations and elucidations. Integrists have been vainly trying to explain away Ottaviani's action ever since. For more see Pope Paul VI's Credo of the People of God, Encyclical Mysterium Fidei, etc., at TCR

"I have rejoiced profoundly to read the discourse by the holy father on the question of the new ordo missae, and especially the doctrinal precisions contained in his discourses at the public audiences of november 19 and 26, after which I believe, no one can any longer be genuinely scandalized. As for the rest, a prudent and intelligent catechesis must be undertaken to solve some legitimate perplexities which the text is capable of arousing. In this sense I wish your ‘doctrinal note' [on the novus ordo] and the activity of the militia sanctae mariae wide diffusion and success." -- Cardinal Alfredo Ottaviani

----from James Likoudis and Kenneth Whitehead, The Pope, The Council and The Mass, The Christopher publishing house, w. Hanover, Massachusetts, 1981, p. 74.

And later: "The beauty of the church is equally resplendent in the variety of the liturgical rites which enrich her divine cult when they are legitimate and conform to the faith. Precisely the legitimacy of their origin protects and guards them against infiltration of errors. . . the purity and unity of the faith is in this manner also upheld by the supreme magisterium of the pope through the liturgical laws." ---ibid, ibid., p. 129, ‘letter from his eminence alfredo Cardinal Ottaviani to Dom Gerard Lafond, o.s.b., in Documentation Catholique, ‘#67, 1970, pp. 215-216 and 343

I can't believe you'd raise such ridiculous and long-discredited 'evidence'. You're probably one who thinks Dan Rather was right never to admit he promoted forgeries.

Get serious.
