Of course, and you are right that every valid Mass includes Our Lord, Body and Blood. In some cases (emergencies, wars, predations), the Mass may include only the barest elements necessary for the Miracle and He will be Present. But, what those you are disagreeing with appear to be saying is that, IN ADDITION to the Infinite Gift of His Body and Blood, the Mass can and should teach. I misrecall the latin phrase, but we believe as we worship. The new liturgy, especially as twisted and abused by the Enemy, fails to teach in the same way as the Traditional liturgy does.

In what ways?
I have found that priests are more than willing to use the liturgy to teach from. We will not be the ones to judge, however. That will be up to God.
