'7. At Mass or the Lord's Supper, the people of God are called together, with a priest presiding and acting in the person of Christ, to celebrate the memorial of the Lord or eucharistic sacrifice.13 For this reason Christ's promise applies supremely to such a local gathering together of the Church: "Where two or three come together in my name, there am I in their midst" (Mt. 18:20). For at the celebration of Mass, which perpetuates the sacrifice of the cross,14 Christ is really present to the assembly gathered in his name; he is present in the person of the minister, in his own word, and indeed substantially and permanently under the eucharistic elements.15"
So the very reasons for Ottaviani’s change in views are in front of your face, and they entirely negate your claims. There are literally dozens of examples of Sacrificial language now, whereas the version he objected to didn’t have these things.

Thank you for your research and comparison.

The sacrificial structure of the Mass has been destroyed in the Novus Ordo. In its place is a Protestant Paschal- meal structure--in open defiance of Vatican II. You people really should start reading up on all this and stop swallowing the N.O. propaganda. Why do you suppose even Cardinal Ratzinger has admitted the Novus Ordo has huge problems? Why do you suppose Mass attendance in the West has dropped precipitously from before the N.O. was imposed? It is because Catholics resent being turned into Protestants by being forced to attend Protestant services. The Novus Ordo was designed to appeal to Protestants. Instead it continues to repel huge numbers of Catholics.
