You are absolutely right when you say "the Protestantization of Catholic worship is not the final end of the reform." Check the following from Traditio.com:

____________________________________________________________

The Novus Ordo Archdiocese of Baltimore is the first to implement the New Vatican's latest error in putting out the notion that the Jews don't have to accept Jesus Christ as the Messias. They can look for another.

A new rite of "Baptism" has been engineered that incorporates Jewish elements with "Catholic" ones. And, far from discouraging Catholic marriage with Jews, which is essentially a violation of the Natural Law (because of the danger of perversion of the Faith of the Catholic party, although for good cause in specific cases dispensations have been given for disparity of cult), the archdiocese is encouraging religious relativism.

At that part of the "Baptism" when the Catholic participants renew their baptismal promises, the Jews present are invited to affirm their faith in the Torah publicly with the words: "Hear, O Israel, the Lord your God is Lord alone." Instead of making the Sign of the Cross, they made the Star of David.

According to the Baltimore archdiocese's official organ, Catholic [sic] Review of July 3, Novus Ordo Cardinal Keeler there will not use the name of Jesus Christ in any liturgical ceremony when Jews are present.

One recalls the Jewish Apostles, when Christ confronted them about where their faith lay and asked them pointedly: "Will you also go away? And Simon Peter answered him: Lord, to whom shall we go? Thou hast the words of eternal life" (John 6:68-69/DRV). That is the Catholic answer. Christ is the only God, the only Messias, the only Truth.

Wow. They actually recite Deuteronomy 6:4. This is indeed a chilling turn of events.

Instead of making the Sign of the Cross, they made the Star of David.

I've never heard of such a thing. Do you have a link to this article?
