Yeah, that was more from Loudestmouth's magical world of make believe, where he tried to create yet another position for +Williamson. Thoroughly refuted throughout (at least for anyone with any common sense).
You've refuted nothing with your stream of personal insults and slurs.
What Bishop Williamson is saying is very clear from his text.
NOM is to be avoided only because of the danger it poses to faith, i.e.
per accidens even though
per se it's acceptable. Most Traditional Catholics disagree. At that point, there's no reason one can't assist at one of those "reverent" NOMs, such as I've seen that might be confused by the casual observer as a Tridentine Mass, where you have the Mass offered in Latin, accompanied by Traditional Gregorian chant, where people receive Holy Communion kneeling, everyone is modestly dressed, and the women wear veils. Such implementations of the NOM pose no danger to the faith, especially if the priest is orthodox and gives Catholic sermons.
This is similar to the old "occasion of sin" perspective. If someone such as the woman who famously asked him at one of his conferences believes that it would strengthen and nourish her faith rather than undermine it, then there's no problem assisting at the NOM. I could assist at the NOM because, despite what Matthew said, my faith is not impacted by the NOM, even if most implementations of it would turn my stomach.
No, the NOM is intrinsically bad and displeasing to God. It's a sacrilege and a blasphemy in and of itself, since it implements changes nearly identical to those of Cranmer, and would probably be acceptable to Luther. It replaced the Catholic Offertory (which Luther despised with a passion) with a тαℓмυdic table prayer, which in and of itself is a sacrilege.
NOM is also the expression of a false religion. While Eastern Orthodox have Traditional Liturgies, one cannot attend those either (even if they pose danger to the faith), because they're the Mass of a false religion.
So the NOM is all of these, a sacrilege in and of itself, an embracing of Protestantism, and the public worship of a false religion, the Conciliar religion.
At that point, why can't I just go to daily Liturgy at an Eastern Orthodox church, since I would be nourished by the Sacraments, and there would be no danger to my faith. Many of these in fact are conducted in foreign languages, so I wouldn't even be able to understand a bad sermon. When I used to go to Ukrainian Catholic Liturgies, they were conducted in Ukrainian, so I had no idea what they were saying, and the same would be true of many Orthodox venues. In fact, since evidently sacrilege isn't important, I could assist at a Black Mass.
