Is the musical revolution one of the worst shifts in Catholic worship? And is there a possibility that the Novus Ordo consecration is invalid? This final instalment analyze these questions.
We have now reached the final instalment of this little series, which I hope has at least helped begin to clear up the confusion for those who have struggled to understand what is wrong with the Novus Ordo Missae.
After the first part appeared, some commenters immediately asked why I didn’t address such-and-such points. As the title of this series indicates, this is merely a “beginner’s guide,” not an exhaustive, in-depth analysis of the entire problem. Each point I have listed over the three instalments could easily be expanded into a standalone essay. Therefore, this is it for now! So before anyone criticizes me for not covering the subject comprehensively, remember: it was always meant only as a starting point. God willing, we will return to the different aspects over time — perhaps under different guises.
That leads me to my final two thoughts before we dive into the third part:
First, it is of cardinal importance that you begin researching this subject on your own. You owe it to yourself, to your family and loved ones — and even more so to the God who demands worship befitting His holiness and majesty.
Second, I want to encourage those readers who have never attended a Traditional Latin Mass (TLM) to make a plan to do so. Even if it means going on a bit of a road trip — do it. Pack your family and hit the road. If you don’t have a TLM nearby, I encourage you to make the effort once a month, or as often as you can. The Holy Scriptures tell us that if we draw near to God, He will draw near to us. I firmly believe that if your desire is to seek and worship God through the Mass of the Ages, He will provide the opportunity.
Now, let us turn our attention to the final set of problems with the pseudo-Protestant Novus Ordo Missae.
