I don't know if I agree but maybe this is a good advice for particularly "Churches"?
I don't think all NO masses apply (to your comments)
I have felt the Holy Spirit at work in me at a lot of NO masses, even the one where I dislike the priest and think he is (was?) a heretic. I don't know if he has repented or not but... anyway..
.
Whether we feel the Holy Ghost or not doesn’t really matter. The Holy Ghost isn’t a feeling, He is a person, the Third Person of the Blessed Trinity.
.
It is a Protestant concept that one should have physical sensation from the influence of the Holy Ghost.
.
It's one of their heresies where they say unless you can "feel" it, it's not real. So that's why they say the Catholic Church isn't the real faith since when we receive Confirmation we don't feel the grace.
.
But it's Catholic teaching, and always has been, that no feeling should be expected at Confirmation. The same applies to Baptism, Confession, Holy Communion, Holy Orders, Matrimony and Extreme Unction. None of the Sacraments impart a "feeling" that is sensible to us.
.
Now what's going on is since Vat.II the Novus Ordo has become Protestantized and that's why Novus Ordo parishes are spreading this error that sensation accompanies grace. That's just a lie, being promoted to make the Protestants feel comfortable. Next, they'll be welcome to Holy Communion, and Catholics won't have a priest but they'll say it doesn't matter, and so on.
