So? The Novus Ordo fits that description.

If all there was to the Mass was Consecration - but that is not "The Mass", that is Consecration (which is also new in form as well as words).

You posted that "Any Mass that changes the bread and wine into Christ's Body and Blood is the Mass" which implies thats all there is to the mass - which Trent condemns.

Consecration is IN the Mass, but it is a part of the Mass, certainly the main part, but its not the Mass.

The Mass of St. Pius V, is a sacrifice that we offer to God. What is known as a propituary (appeasing) sacrifice is that Mass that we offer to God for atonement. The sacrifice is what pleases Him. "The meal" OTOH is for our benefit and in itself is not the Mass.

BTW, the novus ordo mass is said in Latin (with a special dispensation) at some parishes but should not be confused with the pre V2 mass as they are totally different.
