How Patrick Henry Omlor's Work Influenced Fr. Wathen
On November 7, 2006, Fr. James Wathen, an independent traditional Catholic priest, died of kidney failure as a consequence of the lymphatic cancer that he had been battling for the last several years. The previous day he had celebrated his 74th birthday.

Fr. Wathen never performed the Novus Ordo service. After reading P.H. Omlor's 1968 blockbuster, Questioning the Validity of the Masses Using the New, All-English Canon, which demonstrated the invalidity of the Novus Ordo service, Fr. Wathen discerned that the Novus Ordo service was not only a total departure from the Catholic Faith, but that to attend the Novus Ordo was in total defiance of the First Commandment of God. As a result of his discernment, he wrote in 1971 one of the seminal works of the Traditional Catholic Movement, entitled The Great Sacrilege, which supported Omlor's work in demonstrating the invalidity of the New Order service.

When asked why so many who were once Catholics had failed to grasp this concept, Fr. Wathen used always to reply. "Because the people do not realize how evil is the Novus Ordo." Fr. Wathen was of the firm belief that the Novus Ordo service is the fulfillment of Daniel's prophecy about the "abomination of desolation": "When therefore you shall see the abomination of desolation, which was spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place: he that readeth let him understand" (St. Matthew 24:15).
