The essential elements are in both(Liturgy-of-the-Word / Mass of Catechumens // Liturgy-of-the-Eucharist / Mass of the Faithful), but the order is significantly different.
The Novus Ordo, IMHO, focuses far more on the communal meal aspect at the expense of the re-presentation of the sacrifice at Calvary and oblation of that Victim to God...which is far more so emphasized in the Extraordinary Form (a/k/a Traditional a/k/a Tridentine).
You say that the Novus Ordo does not focus on the consecration/presentation of the sacrifice as you put it. Is this added verbiage in the Tridentine Mass?
Our priest in saying a Novus Ordo does focus on the Consecration. It is the center of the Mass for him.
Do you think the new translation will restore the proper order?
