"The Novus Ordo is much closer to the early celebration of Christ's Eucharist than Trent was.
And even Trent didn't "return to the past" after the Reformation."

I visited the rare book room of a library a number of years ago and was fortunate enough to see a 10th century Missal.
The Mass therein was virtually identical to the Tridentine but had been copied more than 500 years earlier.
How do you know that the Novus Ordo is much closer to the early celebration of Christ's Eucharist than Trent was?

Read the Didache, and Justin, Martyr.
