My personal reminder why I am Orthodox and not Catholic.

[Petrosius]

I would be the last to deny the abuses in the Novus Ordo (or how it is lacking compared to the TLM) but they are just that, abuses. To judge the rite per se I suggest that you view this. Despite its admitted shortcomings, this is what Pope Paul intended with the Novus Ordo.

Yes, there are abuses but when trying to justify the Easter Schism, take issue with the true teachings of the Catholic Church, not with a strawman church illustrated by some of the more extreme examples of disobedience to church authority. As bland as the typical Sunday Mass is, the picture that you are trying to paint is hardly representative of Catholic worship and I find it highly dishonest.
