"the New Mass is intrinsically evil" argument ---doesn't it run like this, at least I believe I have seen it on FR:

"St Thomas Aquinas says the privation of good is evil, ergo, since the New Mass has in some areas simplified or uses less precise language, it is evil because it has less good than TLM"

To be charitable, this is an academic argument that is overstated. There have to be better ways to argue the need for the TLM.

St. Catherine of Siena wrote to Barnabas, Viscount Lord of Milan: "He is insane who rises or acts contrary to this Vicar who holds the keys of the blood of Christ crucified. Even if he was a demon incarnate, I should not raise my head against him, but always grovel and ask for the blood out of mercy. And don’t pay attention to what the demon proposes to you and you propose under the color of virtue, that is to say to want to do justice against evil pastors regarding their fault. Don’t trust the demon: don’t try to do justice about what does not concern you. God wants neither you nor anyone else to set themselves up as a righter of the wrongs of His ministers. He reserves judgment to Himself, and He reserves it to His Vicar; and if the Vicar does not do justice, we should wait for the punishment and correction on the part of the sovereign judge, God Eternal." (Letters, Vol. I. Letter No. 28).

yeah, that is basically the lying accusation against a new rite apporved by the Church.

Usually the schismatic, intending to destroy the Church, wil cite quo primum and say that accrd to the language of same Pope Paul VI is condemned. That just illustrates how ignorant your average lying rad-trad schismatic is. That was the language of the time and similar Papal Bulls used simlar language and if the ignorant raddie-traddie-baddie wants to insist on that being the "standard", then Pope St Pius X is also condemned because he reformed/changed the Breviary which was promulgatd with the same language with the same condemnations.

As blessed Mr. T might say, "I pity the fools in the sspx. They suffer the lethal combination of ignorance and arrogance and they are blowing themsleves into spiritual smithereens."

The Pauline Rite Mass is evil due to a deprivation says Fellay and the schismatics

... I don't drink decaf unless it is absolutely necessary for social decorum. Decaf is evil. I am not exaggerating. Coffee by its nature has caffiene. To decaffienate is to remove an essential good, albeit an accidental good, from the coffee. Therefore, decaf is evil because of the lack of good that ought to be present. Now where is my grinder?
