It's from the article I posted the link to before, look it it up yourself or put me on the payroll as your research assistant. The article was quoting the preface written by Cardinal Ratzinger to the book The Reform of the Roman Liturgy , by Monsignor Klaus Gamber.

Cardinal Ratzinger not only endorses this book which is highly critical of the NO, but also praises the author.

Do you still think this statement of yours:

you cannot criticize the Novus Ordo Mass without criticizing the whole of the Church and the promise of Jesus Christ.

is true?

I will have to read this book, then.

Do you still think this statement of yours is true?

Yes. However, for the sake of clarity, I would replace "criticize" with "reject." My use of the word "criticism" was in regards to one's flat out rejection of the Novus Ordo as being valid. Certainly one can criticize the current Novus Ordo Mass as I do it quite frequently. I am not, however, attacking the Novus Ordo Mass as a whole.

Do you not find it curious that Ratzinger, after becoming Pope, has no intention of removing the Novus Ordo Mass? If Ratzinger thought of the Novus Ordo tragic in itself, I find it a very peculiar move as Supreme Pontiff to further insist on its usage despite objections by "Traditionalists."
