Grew up Mormon, got into catholicism after prison and it seemed ok but seeing everything in the church didn't feel right. Finally attended a Latin Mass and its changed my life for the best

This will be a fun comment section.

Novus Ordo is indeed valid, but I will always choose the Latin Mass hands down over Novus Ordo.

"How's your marriage?" "Its not invalid!"

All I know: I would love to experience TLM and I know I would love it. But I also know without Novus Ordo I probably wouldn’t have understood what Catholicism even truly is and converted. It’s accomplishing what it intended in evangelism. 👍☺️. Prayers for unity of all Catholics.

As a 23 year old Catholic, NO feels like outdated baby boomer kich, not really any depth to it. Well I won't call it invalid, it certainly feels inferior to traditional mass. Traditional Mass is timeless and just as good as it's always been. I see NO mass as a fad of the boomer generation that will likely die with them, and be fazed out for a return to the normal Church in the next century or so.

What I think a lot of people dislike about the NO is the lack of reverence in comparison to for example a tridentine mass. Sure, the mass has become more accessible but for what? Mass attendance keeps plummeting and there's no forseeable betterment... A lot of (young) catholics (either born or converts) grew up with a hunger for reverence and truth in a society which tells us everything is subjective. And then they find it in the more traditional forms of the liturgy. I personally attend the NO because I have no problems with it. The sacrifice of the mass is still the same and we're joined to celebrate the resurrection. Perhaps you could make a video about how we could bring more reverence back into the NO?

Personally I don't think it's invalid, but it didn't help my spiritual life very much. The extraordinary form has given me great love for God and the church. It gave me something I lacked which stopped me going protestant or even atheist.

The only people I've seen say NO mass is invalid are the Sedes, and you can't take them seriously at all. I however would love to see the Latin Mass surge to the forefront again, I think TLM breeds more reverence and deepens the respect we have for God and Catholicism in general. I also think the reverence present in TLM can bleed into parishes themselves and that could (hopefully) lead to churches investing in the beautiful. Lots of Churches lack altar rails and have plain beige walls which I think doesn't indicate the importance of the faith and/or the Mass. just my opinion.

Why can’t we like both forms. I prefer the Latin, but I go to both depending on circumstances. I still receive communion on the tongue, kneeling.

Well said. I agree. I do not fully appreciate the criticism however, it seems to me bickering that does not make sense. Again, perhaps I do not fully appreciate the criticism. My most urgent need is to be able to attend mass and receive Eucharist.

The problem of the NO mass is not the liturgy itself , it's the introduction of liturgical abuses of all sorts . Disobedience is the issue, not validity. God bless

I have been talking to some Sedevacantists and really needed this. You have no idea how grateful I am.

If every Priest could just use incense at every mass...that would be great

My two cents. I go to regular mass held in English every day. I cry often. If you aren't moved by regular mass you aren't doing it properly. Your heart has been hardened and that's on you to work on not the mass itself.

Regardless of the Mass, we still focus on the importance of the liturgy of the word and liturgy of the Eucharist as the true presence of his body and blood. So any catholic mass that instills those elements will be the mass I attend.

The amount of traditional Catholics who believe the NO to be invalid is incredibly minute. It's a fringe group of loud-mouthed keyboard warriors. The overwhelming majority of people who attend TLM don't do so because they think the NO is "invalid". They do it because they find NO to be overall less reverent and less beautiful. Quite frankly, it's near impossible to say that they're wrong. NO can be beautiful, but it's often not. Recently, there have been several attacks by popular Catholic social media influencers against traditionalist communities. These attacks have been defending Vatican II and the NO Mass as legitimate and that the trads are heretics. Here's the thing: most traditional Catholics don't disagree. Most trads fully accept the faith. They simply want to see a return to stronger reverence in devotional practices. The loud-mouthed sedevacantists don't represent the traditional Catholic movement. And by lumping all TLM attendees in with them, you are only sowing further division by failing to address the legitimate concerns of traditional-minded Catholics. We should all be able to agree that not only is the NO Mass valid, but it is also deeply flawed in its practice and implementation. For the overwhelming majority of us, we don't think the NO is invalid, we simply want it to be fixed.

Pre-Vatican II was The Narrow Gate. Matthew 7:13 “You can enter God’s Kingdom only through the narrow gate. The road to hell is broad, and its gate is wide for the many who choose that way. But the gateway to life is very narrow and the road is difficult, and only a few ever find it.

What an amazingly well put together and educational video. Saving this for future reference, too. Thank you, Father!

Excellent. Thank you for that update. One of the best most concise and pleasing videos you have yet done. Applaud from Europe.

Read:"The Oath against Moderism"

I prefer the Traditional Latin Mass over the Novus Ordo Missae, and as much as I wish the Tridentine Mass would be the universal norm of the liturgy, the Novus Ordo Mass is still valid. It is approved by the Vatican so it is valid. I still attend both proudly. However, the switch to the Novus Ordo Mass has had many negative effects on the Church today. There is lack of reverence at your everyday NO mass. There may be some, but it doesn't match up in the level of respect of the TLM. I like to say the Novus Ordo is the Latin Rite but simplified. I'll say watered down sometimes, because when you hear the prayers, I feel the prayers in the TLM dive deeper into the Catholic faith. Because of the less rigid following of the Roman Missal, abuses creep in with holding hand, orans posture by the laity, and the kiss of peace. The music can also fall in this category. The sacred Gregorian Chant is again deeper in meaning than your typical entrance or communion hymn. The chants relate to the mass propers and add reflection on the specific Sunday or Holy Day. As a result, mass attendance declined dramatically, less people are seeing the majestic Catholic Church as it is by not converting, people leaving the Church, and less people believe in the true presence. There are statistics to back this up. Approx. 70% of Catholics don't believe in the true presence of the Eucharist or attend mass regularly. Sure, the attendance can be down with some of the poor handling of the abuse scandals but still. I see TLM churches full to capacity after COVID and NO masses barely at 50 people when the limit is like 50-75%. However, the priests in the Latin Mass will tell you upfront what you need to do so people are bound to follow Church teaching and the Ten Commandments by attending mass each week. It does break my heart because it was perfectly fine prior to the Second Vatican Council and the new liturgy. That being said, the sacraments (so like the consecration during mass) are all valid as it is a recognized form, but both forms are valid, and I still prefer the older, much deeper Latin Mass. God Bless!

You know yer stuff...personally, the Mass as I know it has beauty. Some people may not think it is a reverent experience. That may happen...I dont know...What I do know is for me...I'm worshiping Christ, believing in Him, and celebrating his sacrifice for me and all mankind in Latin, English, big church, or small church. Peace!✝️

No comment on the intentional Protestantization of the NO? That was the point right?

I reject the NO mass. I was a convert from protestant and the NO mass is just the same with what i used to attended before. Thus i convert to Trad Catholicism.

When you know the Truth, you can not deny it.

Apparently the Latin mass did not do some people any good. However, I would like to see the prayer protecting us from Satan restored to the Novo Ordo mass.

Thanks for making this video. It clarified a very important point for me and what you said makes sense to me. But whatever form of mass we prefer to celebrate, let us all remember that we are one church and that the purpose of the mass is to commemorate the passion and death of our Lord Jesus Christ as He commanded during the Last Supper.

Thank you very much, Father, for this in-depth 8-minute lesson of Liturgy! I appreciated and listend to it with great attention!

Thank you, ive been looking for this explanation for a long time. I can now explain this issue to my friends at SSPX.

Thank you for this amazing and timely Video Father. I was confused for a some years about these issues until i read - "The pope, the council and the mass" this is a great resource for those interested. May God continue to guide you in your work.

Thank you fr for clearing any up confusion or misinterpretation! Could you please do Lumen Gentium art 16 next? There is plenty of confusion about that as well! Thank you for all your work!

5:17 the sunglasses! Just the right amount of levity. Great editing!

Oh I see, this is probably why Our Lady said specifically to "Pray for the priests..."

Thank you I converted over to the Catholic faith. I love watching your videos cause it helps me more understand this wonderful faith. God bless you and keep up the good work. Thank you.

My First Holy Communion in 1990, and it was absolutely lovely. No clowns, no puppets, no guitars. All organ music. All beautiful. Please..... ...... don't attack my First Holy Communion. It was beautiful.

I heavily appreciate these last videos, At first they seem like bickering on church politics, but this anti Papal anti Council attitude must stop if we want to advance as a church. Thank you and God be with you forever father!

I just want to point out that everything said here DOES NOT in any way, shape or form give credit to the novus ordo, it just tells us that "yes the missal can be changed so the novus ordo stands" wich also means bytheway that "yes, the novus ordo itself can be changed, and the latin mass can be restored"... and i did not really like the fact that such a "little detail" was not told, giving the impression that the ones who don't like the novus ordo "should just give up"

Thank you very much for making this video and putting it into a historical context.

We want ad orientum mass

I really appreciate you making these recent videos about Vatican II and the individual "issues" being roiled around the internet. Thanks for speaking truth, Fr. Casey.

One of the things I love about the Roman Church: eternal and unchanging except when it is not. In all seriousness, very informative!

"THE COUNCIL OF TRENT Session XXI - The fifth under the Supreme Pontiff, Pius IV, celebrated on the sixteenth day of July, 1562 CHAPTER II THE POWER OF THE CHURCH CONCERNING THE DISPENSATION OF THE SACRAMENT OF THE EUCHARIST It declares furthermore, that in the dispensation of the sacraments, their substance preserved (SALVA ILLORUM SUBSTANTIA), the Church may, according to circumstances, times and places, determine or CHANGE whatever she may judge most expedient for the benefit of those receiving them or for the veneration of the sacraments; and this power has always been hers."

Interesting theory but two things mitigate against it. 1) Canon XIII of the VII session of the Council of Trent. Council of Trent VII session CANON XIII.-If any one saith, that the received and approved rites of the Catholic Church, wont to be used in the solemn administration of the sacraments, may be contemned, or without sin be omitted at pleasure by the ministers, or be changed, by every pastor of the churches, into other new ones; let him be anathema. The received and approved can’t be a mass ritual drafted with no direct apostolic lineage i.e in the 1960's. The Novus Ordo Missae has no direct apostolic linage and resembles Protestant worship services. 2) The precipitous collapse of Catholic life after Vatican 2 and the implementation of the Novus Ordo Missae look like the censure of St. Pius V has occured i.e. the "wrath of Almighty God and the Blessed apostles Peter and Paul"

Thank you Father Casey this is so clear and all of your hard work is very much appreciated. Controversies like these can be so upsetting and difficult to tweese apart, thank you, thank you.

The people who criticize CVII don't argue that the problem is simply changing the 1570 missal, but what kind of change. Compare the Missal from 1570 to that of 1962 and then to that of 1969/1970. The state of the missal in 1962 is much closer to the 1570 then the Novus Ordo missal. The New Mass made a stark and big change in every level. So the matter is not change, but what kind of change.

In the Middle Ages there were regional Rites, such as the Sarum (Salisbury) Rite which was compiled shortly after the Norman conquest of England and attempted to reconcile Anglo Saxon and Norman liturgy. Its popularity spread throughout much of Europe.

Wow! I learnt a lot from this 8mins video. Thank you Fr Casey.

The Motu Propio is just so painful for us Old Rite believers. It's like all other Catholic groups are welcome in the Church except us. I see the Old Rite Mass as a more spiritually enriching form than the New Rite.

Another excellent video by Father. I think it is important to mention, however, that Quo Primam did not mandate or impose a new formulation of the Mass, but instead codified the Mass as it had developed organically over the centuries. I believe that the impetus of Quo Primam was to prevent the innovations and errors that had crept into some liturgies as a result of the Protestant revolt and this is why it allowed rites that were 200 years old or older to continue to be celebrated; thus, Pope Pius V was inoculating against Protestant errors. The imposition of the Novus Ordo did the opposite of what Quo Primum did-- it attempted to abrogate rites that were old and thus it attempted to break the connection with past rites, whereas Quo Primum attempted to solidify the connection to the past.

Only fringe trad groups have a problem with this. I would still like the restoration of the Roman Rite to happen, thank you very much. I have a duty to my forefathers in the Faith.

It's funny how this fight in between Novus Ordo and the Latin mass does not seem to be a problem here in Latin America. The ppl that reject the NO and the Pope authority are just creating division within the church and rejecting church authority which could lead to mayor problems. Novus Ordo has the advantage of being more approachable and easy to follow, however the Latin mass has the advantage of being more intertwined with tradition and an added sense of respect. I've been talking to many old ppl about the Latin mass and they all have very fond memories about it, they even still have their misal. I would like for the Novus Ordo to continue, but I think it would be a good idea for the church to institute the Lain mass one week per month or maybe every two months for the new generations to experience.

This is so simple. The original text is more about where the AUTHORITY of changing the Missal lies rather than about an unchanging Missal. It states that the authority lies with the church as a whole.

Lack of reverence before Mass is due to people not knowing how to behave , society has become less formal not the Mass . In our church people greet their friends but are respectful when the bell rings to signal the Priest is ready to start and only silence or hymn singing follows . The only voices heard during Mass are very young children and I like hearing them because a church with no children is a dead church . Also I want to understand what is being said so I want my own language not a dead language. I can take part fully then . It’s important We understand and participate in Mass . I want to be a member of a congregation not an audience member

I love the Latin Mass and try to attend. The Novus Ordo isn't an issue with me either and I love it too. I will say though that people in the Church trying to invalidate the Latin Mass need to take a step back. In fact, we all do and learn to appreciate both forms of the Mass. THAT is when the Unity Pope Francis wants will be established.

Thank you Father Casey. Very interesting and I love learning more about my faith thru you.

Thank you very much Fr. Casey for this video, it is great to have canonical and historical informations of this kind, they help us to explore and comprehend our faith in a deeper logical level and they’re very useful. I’ll have to admit that i prefer the Vetus Ordo, i find it closer to my spirituality, i love the fact that all the assembly is pointing to the altar, it gives me a higher sense of worshipping, i love the fact that it is in Latin and that it is mainly chanted. Latin is the Church official language and might also be a universal one, the fact that we can have the same Mass in every country gives me a deeper sense of unity (and i do love the sound of Latin prayers and chants), plus i live in Italy so I have access to beautiful churches that have centuries of history and hearing a Latin chant inside of them is just beautiful, you can tell that they were suited for that particular kind of worshipping... This said, I’ve mostly been to NO Masses and i also find them profound and deeply moving, their invalidity has never been on the line in my experience, it’s just that nowadays they don’t suit much with my spiritual experience. Two weeks ago i’ve researched the life of Archbishop Lefebvre and i think that all Catholics should thank him for his defense of the Vetus Ordo Mass, if nowadays we can chose between the two is something we owe to him and to all the priests that have kept and the are keeping this rite alive. After all, in this strange internal “fight” between Novus and Vetus Ordo Mass, there’s only one thing that leaves me clueless, and it’s the fact that Paul VI powerfully went for the Novus Ordo declaring the Vetus Ordo dead (liturgically speaking), and the fact that he excommunicated Lefebvre for he decided to go on with the Vetus Ordo speaks for himself. Couldn’t he simply “strongly recommend” the Novus Ordo without disposing of the Vetus Ordo? Couldn’t he keep them both in the first place?

The disrespect you exhibited towards St. Pius V throws way more shade on you than him!

Father, I’m ignited with fire of the Holy Spirit by your clear yet sensitive discussion on such challenging issue that faces our churches today. I love how the Novus Ordo invites a wide spectrum faith - from beginners to mature, liberals to conservative. But I adore the reverence and disciple of the Latin Mass. To me personally, the Latin rite is the summit of my faith journey where I was allowed to dig deeper in my faith in Christ. It’s not enough for me anymore to just go to one mass. I need both. I hope I’m not committing sin so I just take my communion at the Latin Mass.

Picked up a lot of practical understanding on infallibility being matters of all people in all places/situations. Thank you and God Bless you...

Are you seriously comparing minor changes (that add beauty to the liturgy), to the complete destruction of tradition that happened in the 60’s!? It’s just not the same thing. Liturgy was completely erased.

This begs a question. Was the mass prior to 1570 invalid?

Such a difficult topic to start nevertheless complete so well, thank you so much for your guidance Father, everything you said made so much sense, I with every Catholic could watch this.

I’ve seen video of Novus Ordo being celebrated with a magic show, clown makeup, lucha libre masks, puppets, etc. You can’t tell me with a straight face that those aren’t disrespectful.

Thank you, there has a lot of people here on KZfaq recently saying the new mass isn't valid nor is receiving communion in the hand.

I find it very conflictive when people argue that the mass should be in Latin . I once heard this story of these men and these tongues of fire that came from heaven and they being from one nation, miraculously spoke the tongues of all the people around . When we listen to the mass in the vernacular we can better understand, appreciate , and participate which IS what we should be doing . Listening in Latin and not understanding anything would be a real problem , what teaching would I leave with if I didn’t understand a single thing. It sounds very nice but if I can’t understand what’s the use, my mind is not agile enough to learn Latin at my age.

Very informative. When I was in theological studies it wasn't an issue for me that there were changes, just that the pace and sweep of the changes were overboard. I don't think the people making such profound changes realized how a lot of the faithful were going to react, which was negative. I don't think the changes that came about were what the bishops intended at the Council.

Good job! Well researched and well put together. You could even include what Paul VI says in Missale Romanum, his own apostolic Constitution promulgating the 1970 Missal.

Interesting video. As a confessional Lutheran and one interested in all things liturgical, it’s interesting how the Lutheran liturgy has largely retained many features of the pre-Vatican II Mass that Roman Catholics have not seen or heard mainstream in decades or centuries. Ad orientum altars, rails for reception, the chanted introit, the salutation before the collects, for example. Also, many parishes opt for the older one-year lectionary with the traditional Sundays’ names and introit. For example, this Sunday would be Quasimodo geniti Sunday, and Advent I would be Ad Te Levavi.

Absolutely brilliant as always Fr. Casey. Thank you.

There is a big difference in making updates in prayers and adding feasts to the calendar and making organic changes over time then completely throwing out the Mass and inventing something different with Protestant ministers. The NO is not Catholic and cannot be required to fulfill the Sunday obligation.

Again, thank you Father Casey. And God bless all people of good will.

I don't understand the argument for vernacular mass. If it's good to have it in your native language, then the Church had been doing it wrong for thousands of years in many places, because Latin was ever only dominant in Italy. The territories Rome conquered never fully embraced the Latin language.

Thank you so much for this video. I can completely get with those that Love the Extraordinary Mass, I’m willing to attend and learn. UNTIL I hear someone say Novus Ordo is invalid. I can’t get away fast enough. I just left the Protestant Church, I want nothing to do with a new generation of schismatics.

Once again I got clarity from one of my favorite Franciscan friars. I love the way God uses you I can't wait till you're in Florida giving a talk please make sure you let me know I will actually want to go see you

If the "reforms", nay, innovations undertaken after V2 were legit and of God they would have produced faith, unity, and peace. Have we seen that since 1970?

First time I heard about Novus Ordo was from a video of a protestant deciding whether to go to high Latin Mass or Novus Ordo... Me as catholic o.O what?

I have never attended a Traditional Latin Mass before but would very much like to one day. That being said, I have gained a tremendous amount of consolation and spiritual strength from attending the Novus Ordo mass and receiving the holy Eucharist (on the tongue) The Novus Ordo, while not perfect, is valid, but hopefully one day soon it will be replaced and the Tridentine mass returned in its place.

Very enlightening, thank you.

I like your videos. Even as a non Christian I admire how you breake down these topics and and then build them back up.

I'm a reform Jew and we do the liturgy in both Hebrew and english. The vernacular language here where I live and I feel like you can do a mass in both Latin and the vernacular wherever the mass is being done.

But novus ordo give so much scandals... Like liturgy abuse.

Hello Father Casey! It's great to see you back. I had a question if you don't mind. What are your thoughts on the bit of controversy surrounding the words "lead us not into temptation" and the Holy Father's supposed 'mistranslation' ("do not let us fall into temptation") according to our more traditionalist brothers? Personally it was very strange for me, since "do not let us fall" is the way we've been praying in Spanish for decades haha, have we been praying wrong? 😅 Also I wanted to thank you for helping me get so much more in contact with my faith. I feel like I'm on the right path... Blessings!

Very well explained, Father. Thanks!

The NO is valid but it's done a huge amount of damage to the harvest of souls. Return to tradition. 🙏🏻

I think Fr. Casey misrepresents what Pope Pius V did. Before his time there were several different liturgies being used. Pope Pius V harmonised the liturgy in the entire Latin Church to the liturgy of Rome. Note that he exempted liturgies older than 200 years (there were about 4 of them). This indicates that most diviant liturgies were younger then 200 years. New liturgies were springing up and Pope Pius V made an end to that. The wording suggests a sense of urgency. What he didn't do is make the missal immutable. He just abolished the use of other missals than the Roman missal. The missal was updated several times since, to change the wording of certain prayers, to insert feast days, to reshuffle the ranking of feast days. That sort of thing. That's not contrary to what Pope Pius V did. All these changes didn't change a thing to the essence of the liturgy. The change into the Novus Ordo is _much_ more radical than anything done earlier. Anyone who has seen both a Novus Ordo Mass and a Tridentine Mass will see immediately that these are different things. Suggesting that Novus Ordo is part of organic evolution and not really different from earlier updates to the missal is in my opinion absurd.

Well thought out, well resented! Well done!

This video is interesting but misses two key points: #1. The "Missal of Pius V" is actually a restoration of the Traditions of Holy Mother Church as expressed in the Liturgy. The main point of Quo Primum is to protect this Tradition, and anathematizes any derivation from it. The four marks of the Holy Catholic Church is that it is One, Holy, Universal, and Apostolic. The Holy Liturgy comes to us from the Apostles, and no pope can change the Holy Traditions. (The pope is free, of course, to add prayers to the liturgy, but cannot abrogate or derogate that which has been received.) The Latin Rite is the Liturgy of St Peter. All of the Eastern Rites are derivations of the Liturgy of St James the Less, and the Carolingian Rite (prevalent in Southern Europe until the 17th Century) is essentially the Liturgy of St James (who went to Spain). Many of the Apostolic Rites were completely run over by the Muslims as they were busy spreading Freedom and Democracy over Asia Minor, the Middle East and Saharan Africa. #2. This video does not answer the question of the validity of the Novus Ordo. One of the most massive problems in the Novus Ordo is that the mystical separation of the Body and Blood of Our Lord Jesus Christ does not occur, as the formula of Consecration for the Most Precious Blood, as it was defined by the August Council of Trent, has been altered. The phrase "Mysterium Fidae" no longer refers back to the fruits of the Passion but in the Novus Ordo now refers to a variety of responses contained in the Missal recited just after the "consecration" of the Precious Blood. This is a substantial derogation from the Traditional Meaning and suffices to invalidate the rite as per the 23rd (I believe) session of the August Council of Trent.

Cardinal Egan (Ego) of New York infamously stripped the faculties of a priest for his refusal to take part in celebrating the NO - shameful

My priest had denied me communion Bcuz I was kneeling. Disgusting

Great talk Fr, just great. Except every single instance of referring to Pius V's instructions of Quo Primum as "infallible". (Even while shooting it down). No, you should not have employed the language of "infallible" in this context IN ANY SHAPE. Doing so just perpetuates confusion. Since this is not a teaching, infallibility doesn't even bear on it. It's a juridical act. It has the juridical force of the Pope, the highest Church officer. But no pope has more authority than other popes, so whatever juridical edict one pope issues, can be rescinded by a later pope. That's just the nature of the office: they all share the same office, so they all have EQUAL authority. They literally CAN'T make a juridical edict that a later pope has no authority to rescind. Obviously, if Pius V had the authority to issue Quo Primum, he (and his successors) also had the authority to change or retract Quo Primum.

Very well said! I have one comment regarding the statement at 4:01, "The content of the teaching is liturgical in nature: suggesting that it is a matter of discipline rather than faith." I encounter several Catholics (some of whom are priests) who cling to liturgical practices prior to the Second Vatican Council, and when I critique them, I often get the above response, as if a practice is devoid of significance for the faith.. This is not true. In the early Church, arguments against heretics over disagreements in dogma often depended upon liturgical custom. For example, early Church prayers that assumed the divinity of Christ were used as a defense against the Arians. The Eastern Church has a stronger understanding of orthopraxis as a way of protecting orthodoxy.

The Latin Mass made the church ONE, HOLY, CATHOLIC and UNIVERSAL. No matter where you went, even a country whose language you did not speak, the Mass was the same, recognizable and for all. Novus Ordo did nothing but divide us. It made attending mass like attending the theater. Mass became an entertainment, instead of worship. We now have bandstands on the altar populated by the amateur hour, of guitars and tambourines, instead of the inspiration of the organ. We now sing broadway like tunes written by third rate hacks, instead of time honored hymns. We no longer kneel before our God, because he is now our buddy, our friend. Modern churches bear little resemblance to sacred spaces of worship and are little more than gathering halls. Novus Ordo has made us less aware of God and more turned toward our own selves.

Sad thing, in Liturgy as in Catechesis as in theology as in etc., the vast majority of Catholics, and even clergy know very little of Catholicism prior to Vatican II. Cardinal Ratzinger warned that many were trying to make V2 into a super-Council that dwarfed all others. His assessment was prophetic. Even Paul VI stated that V2 was a pastoral Council that did not intend to concern itself with doctrine or refuting theological error. But to address the pastoral landscape and rather ineffectively at that

Too bad this video doesn't actually address the real issue at hand. The validity of a sacrament doesn't depend upon who legislated it, but rather what the form and matter are, and the standing of the minister of that sacrament. The Novus Ordo Missae is invalid on grounds not even addressed by this video.

The problem with the Nuvos Ordo is that it was change after V2 was closed - not by the magistrate.

Brother, you forgot the anathema from Trent that pertains to Quo Primum. Session 7, Canon 13: “CANON XIII.-If any one saith, that the received and approved rites of the Catholic Church, wont to be used in the solemn administration of the sacraments, may be contemned, or without sin be omitted at pleasure by the ministers, or be changed, by every pastor of the churches, into other new ones; let him be anathema.”

The alterations were for feasts no changes in the structure, language, positions of the priests etc...the Mass indeed wasn't change prior to V2. Also the words of consecration were change. "For all and not for many" Very ecumenical eh? So they even changed after V2 the words of Our Lord

Nobody (that I know) questions the validity of the NO. The issue is, why was the Latin mass restricted/banned?

This gives me comfort in the fact that my family is joining a novus ordo parish so my child can be a student at their Catholic school.
