To: Aloysius
The new Mass, said according to the rubrics, de-emphasizes the Real Presence relative to the Tridentine Mass.

Relatively, I would agree. But that is not to say the emphasis is completely removed, which is the usual argument.

We genuflect on the way into the pew. We kneel after the Sanctus until after the Amen. The priest genuflects after consecrating each element.

We kneel again after the Agnus Dei. The only thing missing is the Communion Rail. But you can't say that people are missing the idea that God is present from our posture.
