Nope, LotI, if GG's going to definitively state that 'God doesn't like [the NO] as much,' then GG should be kind enough to tell us exactly how GG knows that.

Since GG has assumed the position of Isaiah, he could at least have some burned lips, or whatever.

Easy--because its fruits are rotten. If the Novus Ordo Mass were pleasing to Heaven, it would have borne much good fruit by now. But it doesn't--everything it touches is corrupted. By their fruits you will know them--

St. Padre Pio:

In 1966, the Father General [of the Franciscans] came to Rome prior to the special Chapter on the Constitutions in order to ask Padre Pio for his prayers and benedictions. He met Padre Pio in the cloister. "Padre, I came to recommend to your prayers the special chapter for the new Constitutions..." He had scarcely gotten the words "special Chapter"..."new Constitutions" out of his mouth when Padre Pio made a violent gesture and cried out: "That is all nothing but destructive nonsense." "But Padre, after all, there is the younger generation to take into account...the youth evolve after their own fashion... there are new demands..." "The only thing missing is mind and heart, that's all, understanding and love." Then he proceeded to his cell, did a half-turn, and pointed his finger, saying: "We must not denature ourselves, we must not denature ourselves! At the Lord's judgment, Saint Francis will not recognize us as his sons!"
