2. Those who declare the Novus Ordo Rite as "wrong" are fundamentalists and don't even deserve to attend the Tridentine Rite. These individuals no longer trust the church. The same Holy Spirit that inspired the Tridentine Rite, inspired the Novus Ordo Rite.. The have lost sight of the fact that Christ promised to remain with His church "for all days". Those who seek a restoration of the Tridentine Rite, often work under a hidden agenda to push through their request.

The Holy Sprit did indeed inspire Vatican II, though who knows what exactly inspired Abp. Bugnini, but that said, the holy spirit did protect Pope Pual VI enough to prevent the Novus Ordo from becoming openly herritical, and when it is celebrated properly as it is in the few examples I have given(and Anglican Use is also based on the Novus Ordo as well), it is a wonderful and rich liturgy that is faithful. But in so many cases, it becomes a completely horizontal event, the sacraficial nature of it becomes lost all too often, and while technically it may still be a sacrafice, it more resembles a weekly gathering that has a few "happy hymns", a gutless homily with very little hint of the sacrafice, because they all say it is a "communal meal".

For a good look at what the Novus Ordo can and should be , go to http://www.stagnes.net and http://www.assumptiongrotto.com
