IMO, Omlor's article Res Sacramenti obliterated the validity of the NOM.  I used to have his book and have read all of his articles many times.  Now, one can only find it on True Restoration and they are gouging people for $99...lol...it originally sold for $30.

His anti-una cuм piece was great, too, right up until he tried to answer a few objections.  He failed to do so in a convincing manner and that was that.  Anyway, good man, great writer whom I pray rests in peace.

Agreed that his book was devastating for those who continued to defend the validity of NOM, applying PROPERLY the principles of Apostolicae Curae.  SSPX spun the teaching of Leo XIII into being generally about "intention", bujt Leo XIII explicitly stated he meant he intention of the RITE, saying that the Church does not judge the intention of the minister, but only that expressed by the Rite, and at one point says that even after the Anglicans "fixed" the essential form, it was still invalid ... due to the intention of the Rite to change the Catholic Rite, and that no amount of internal intention could validate the invalid Rite.

This is just a 5 minute clip- but it is good to bring Mr. Omlor's  timeless & important work more attention.  Narrated by his daughter Theresa.

From Omlor's Writings: No Mystery of Faith: No Mass 
Enchiridion Symbolorum, nos. 414-415).
39. An Archbishop of Lyons had inquired of Pope Innocent who it was that inserted "the mystery of faith" in the consecration form for the wine. In cuм Marthae Circa the Sovereign Pontiff replied as follows:
"You have asked (indeed) who has added to the form of words which Christ Himself expressed when He changed the bread and wine into the Body and Blood, which are in the Canon of the Mass that the general Church uses, but which we find expressed by none of the Evangelists. ... In the Canon of the Mass that expression, "the mystery of faith," is found interspersed among His words. ... Surely we find many such things omitted by the Evangelists from the words as well as from the deeds of the Lord ... Therefore We believe that the form of words as is found in the Canon, the Apostles received from Christ, and their successors from them" [emphasis added].

40. What is the force and status of cuм Marthae Circa? It is not just the theological opinion of a pope writing as a private theologian. Leeming calls it a "doctrinal letter" (Principles of Sacramental Theology, 1960, p. 255). Its very inclusion in Denzinger shows that it is part of the Ordinary Magisterium of the Church. Since those words "the mystery of faith" were received from Our Lord by the Apostles and handed down by them, they come down to us via Apostolic Tradition, one of the two sources of Divine Revelation. And that is why I claimed in par. 38 above that the words "the mystery of faith" are in the wine consecration of the Latin Rite through Divine Revelation.

41. Anyone who would be so bold as to gainsay the teaching of Pope Innocent III that the words "the mystery of faith" were in the Latin Rite consecration form from the very beginning would be obliged to show when, where and by whom these words were inserted at some later date. Such evidence cannot be found, and in quest of it one would in vain search the Apostolic Constitutions, the Decretals, the writings of the Apostolic Fathers and the Doctors, all extant official ecclesiastical records, or even the Apocrypha.

Thanks for the link, and for preserving this!
Here is an excerpt:

A valuable feature of this technique of gradualism is that at each new step a certain pre-
cedent is established, one which at a later time can be referred to as a support for the more
advanced changes. Thus, after the serious and invalidating mutilations of the Mass had already
been made, it was of no avail to point out to the "new robbers" the decree Quo Primum or to in-
sist upon the unchangeable nature of the Canon of the Mass, for they could readily refer to good
Pope John who, by personally inserting the name of St. Joseph in the Canon, had been the very
first person ever to change it. This argument, of course, is supposed to be "unanswerable."
