The Tridentine liturgy was a mature form of worship and the Novus Ordo was a radical departure from it, imposed on Catholics over a very short period of time.
Explain to me how the Novus Ordo Mass is a "radical" departure? There is nothing contrary to 2000 years of Catholic teaching present in the Novus Ordo Mass. If you're supposing there is heresy, then you're saying that "the gates of the netherworld" have prevailed against the Church.
I'm sorry you don't understand that.

To say that the gates of Hell will not prevail over the Church is to say that In The End, GOD wins. Not that the Church will sail through history unmolested. Popes have acknowledged the need for reform from time to time as a remedy for dreeping secularism. Here we have a reform that embraces secularism and it shows. Christ, whom we all claim as Lord said that you CAN judge a tree by its fruit. Yet when we listen to Him and judge accordingly, you say No, no, ignore that or we are somehow wrong for obeying Christ in this regard. When Christ's words are changed from "for many" to "for all", one has to wonder why the Words of Christ have been changed? Is that seriously Guarding the deposit of Faith?
