Even though I will not contest the validity of the novus ordo sacraments.
The reason I say this is that I an no theologian, I have heard both
sides, and each sides sounds convincing.
We all agree they are much inferior than the traditional sacraments.
They do not give the same graces as the traditional sacraments.
For example here in the Houston area, for a Catholic to received
the novus ordo sacrament of Confirmation, you have to be signed
off by a Protestant minister, and a Jєωιѕн Rabbi. So much in
defending the faith like it was when I was confirmed in 1962.
The novus ordo sacraments just to make you feel good, and
not be conscience of an every present God. You are more focus
on the things of the world than the afterlife that will come upon
us sooner than we expect.
It is just like demolishing a beautiful gothic church in which that
you cannot help in thinking about God, and the afterlife. And
replacing the church with a Gymnasium style building, that just
makes you think of worldly things. The sanctuary that looks no
different than a masonic hall.
