I am returning to the stated topic of this thread. I do not know if the report is true, but if it is true, then the person in question -- or anyone walking a similar path -- was poorly catechized to begin with.
The Novus Ordo has become, correctly, an umbrella term. Used without the third word, "Mass," (appropriately in quotation marks, some would say). "The Novus Ordo" is not just a worship "form." It is a belief system, harmonious with that same "liturgy." It is by definition a false belief system, because there is no authentic Catholic Church that is 58 years old. There's no such thing as "a modern Catholic Church." It remains ancient in its origins, or it is a different church.
