Pope Francis Celebrates Tragic Anniversary Today (March 7) in Rome

From my link above:

Intentionally celebrating the Mass facing the people, displacing the altar from the sanctuary (and in fact doing away with a tangible “sanctuary” in the traditional sense), covering up or removing the high altar, the use of a “table-altar”, communion no longer received while kneeling ... we are often assured by “conservative” writers that these had nothing to do either with Paul VI or Vatican II, and in fact became widespread only years later, and against the express will of both. However, the records of this Mass and of Masses publicly celebrated by Paul VI in the years immediately after 1965 show that he was at the vanguard of these changes.

This is ironic given the tendency in some Reform of the Reform circles to point to the “1965 Missal” as the way to resacralization and the return to tradition for the wider Church — a Missal whose very birth was attended by many of the innovations now deplored by these same circles.

Equally of note is that these innovations, which many in the Reform of the Reform camp assert have nothing to do with Vatican II because these are not mentioned in the actual text of Sacrosanctum Concilium, were already taking place in Rome itself, with the Pope’s own endorsement and in his presence, long before the Council ended on December 8, 1965.

And yet today Pope Francis celebrates with great enthusiasm the anniversary of the introduction of Pope Paul VI’s infamous Novus Ordo Missae—a fabrication, a banal on-the-spot product that has driven millions from the bosom of Holy Mother Church and left the rest of us to feast on stones and hunger for bread.

Paul VI: soon to be yet another "saint" of the Vatican II church.

You are quite right this is a day for mourning and penance not celebration.

Indeed.
