“Yes, versum populam orientation...the single most destructive change from the comedy of errors known as Vatican II...”

Except that there was nothing in the Vatican II documents calling for the priest facing the people. That was a later change, years after Vatican II. http://www.adoremus.org/0405LiturgicalPrayer.html

Correct. Arguably, the rubrics for the 1970 MR even assume an ad orientem celebration, because at one point they tell the celebrant to turn around to face the congregation.

BTW, my usual church on Sunday celebrates the "Novus Ordo" ... ad orientem, with lots of incense, a communion rail, and at least the ordinary sung in Latin. :-)
