Cardinal Ottaviani's, Prefect of the Holy Office under Pope Pius XII, and 2nd in authority only to him, Condemnation of the novus ordo missae to Montini, Paul VI:
Cardinal Ottaviani published an intervention, not a condemnation. He published it before the Novus Ordo was finalized. After discussions with the Pope and further revisions, he withdrew the intervention. You rely on his authority and his objections for your position, be he withdrew them, and so the very authority you cite speaks against you.

The funny thing is that some of the changes are right in front of your eyes. The portion you cite from the GIRM’s article 7, as cited by Ottaviani’s intervention, read:

"The Lord's Supper or Mass is the sacred assembly or congregation of the people of God gathering together, with a priest presiding, to celebrate the memorial of the Lord. (*3) For this reason Christ's promise applies supremely to a local gathering together of the Church: "Where two or three come together in my name, there am I in their midst." (Mt. 18:20) (*4)"
As changed before the Novus Ordo was promulgated, and as it is now, it reads:
'7. At Mass or the Lord's Supper, the people of God are called together, with a priest presiding and acting in the person of Christ, to celebrate the memorial of the Lord or eucharistic sacrifice.13 For this reason Christ's promise applies supremely to such a local gathering together of the Church: "Where two or three come together in my name, there am I in their midst" (Mt. 18:20). For at the celebration of Mass, which perpetuates the sacrifice of the cross,14 Christ is really present to the assembly gathered in his name; he is present in the person of the minister, in his own word, and indeed substantially and permanently under the eucharistic elements.15"
So the very reasons for Ottaviani’s change in views are in front of your face, and they entirely negate your claims. There are literally dozens of examples of Sacrificial language now, whereas the version he objected to didn’t have these things.

Follow his example, admit that the Novus Ordo as it was changed by the Pope is perfectly valid and Catholic.

Thank you for your research and comparison.
