To me...
The Novus Ordo is an occasion of sin.
My thoughts are not uplifted to God. They're thinking about obvious worship of man replacing God.
Sermons about worldly things and feel-goodism, disturb me, and show a complete lack of care for the souls Jesus put these priests in charge of to lead them to heaven.
I am appalled when people are talking and socializing in church, painting their nails, whispering (or even talking out loud!), cell phones ringing, and other forms of total irreverence in the Novus Ordo churches.
I am disgusted when I see the complete lack of respect for Our Lord by people "coming as they are," dressed like they just came back from the beach, or just jumped out of bed, in the presence of God.
My spirit is not uplifted with hootenanny songs. I am repulsed by the lack of respect that is so due to God through sacred music rather than secularized music that is so prominent in the Novus Ordo.
The pagan board that they have in the Novus Ordo churches, and the priest with his back to God, makes me physically ill. The tabernacle off to one side of the Church and the priest as the center instead of the Divine Presence of Our Lord makes me recoil.
Women putting their filthy hands, wearing pants, and physically assaulting Jesus makes me want to vomit.
In short, when I exit a Novus Ordo, angry thoughts permeate my head rather than sanctifying thoughts.
Is THIS REALLY fulfilling our Sunday obligation? I ARGUE NOT!
No, sir. The Novus Ordo is a "rite" superimposed upon the true rite of the Catholic Church. It is a usurper taking the rightful place of the most beautiful thing this side of heaven.
What happens when I go to MASS?
Well, when I go to Mass, my spirit is uplifted. The presence of God is obvious by the fact that the tabernacle IS the center of the Church. Jesus Divine Presence is absolutely self evident. The atmosphere when I go to Mass is one of serene silence. People are dressed modestly and respectfully for the honor and glory of God. The sermons are pertinent, and help me advance in virtue and combat the devil more effectively when the words are taken to heart. The sacred music uplifts the soul to God, bringing peace, attention and FOCUS to Him. The Altar is not approached by anyone but altar boys and the priest, sans slovenly dressed women who don't even belong near it. Women are not even allowed to approach the altar much less even TOUCH Our Lord. The priest's fingers are consecrated, and only HE is permitted to lay his hands on Him.
If I can't make it to Mass, would I subject myself to a "rite" that absolutely OFFENDS God and brings angry thoughts to my mind, not to mention the fact that I don't know what the person next to me thinks about necessary Dogmas and Doctrines perennially taught by the Catholic Church, or would I be better off staying at home if I couldn't get to a REAL Mass, and reading through the prayers in my missal, and send my Guardian Angel to Mass instead?
If you ponder these things truly, you will come to the correct conclusion just as almost everyone on this board already has:
The Novus Ordo is a different religion, because it's certainly NOT the Catholic way in which to worship God truly and rightfully.
