It seems to me that a very important point regarding what's wrong with the Novus Ordo liturgy is the following:
The highest act of any religion is ritual sacrifice. It's something that all serious religions share, and it has been a key aspect of God's will for religious worship since the dawn of time. Abel's sacrifice was acceptable, and Cain's sacrifice was not acceptable. Abraham obediently proceeded to sacrifice his son Isaac (the Moslems erroneously say "Ishmael"), who was a figure of Our Lord in the Old Testament, but he was restrained from finishing the deed by the intervention of an angel.
Until the time of Christ, the Temple in Jerusalem was the site of thousands of animal sacrifices each year, with specific rules for what kind and how many on each day of the year. There were laws for 4 different kinds of sacrifice and very specific rules on what was to be done, how it was to be done, how often, and so forth. Several times when the rule at hand was broken immediate and severe reprimand came from heaven directly on the perpetrators. God was not playing games.
This serious business of preparing for the ultimate sacrifice, the Crucifixion of Our Lord, was precise and religiously exacting in the highest regard. And the Sacred Traditions of the Church in regards to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass has been in the context of this precision and excellence of history.
Then along came Vatican II and the abomination of the Newmass in its wake (the Council Fathers would never have approved the conspicuous abandonment of Tradition the Newmass contains, and therefore they had to take another 4 years to "phase it in").
The most egregious shortcoming of the Newmass is its REMOVAL of any reference to "sacrifice" out of appeasement to the Protestants. Never before in the history of the Church has an important aspect of our worship been removed to avoid offending heretics.
