**Novus Ordo itself should be evolving toward the Old Mass**
I do think this is going to happen, and, in fact, has already started to happen with the new translations which are more accurate to the original Latin Vulgate.
Next come the readings. I was going to buy one of the NABRE (Revised Edition) until I found out that all had been revised was the Old Testament. When they revise the New Testament perhaps the USCCB will adopt a new lectionary format. I think it will happen, but maybe I’m being too optomistic.
No, I don’t think you are too optimistic. There is a healthy movement in the Church, and the fact that the true translations have been adopted in English shows that it has reached the episcopate. Unlike in democracies where the governing body changes every four years, the trends in the Church have every chance to flourish over time.
