Oh, I can hear the excuses: "Christ is the Eternal High Priest", "Christ rose from the dead", etc. but that doesn't excuse why the suffering Christ has been replaced on the Cross. It's not traditional.
The Novus Ordo wants to downplay the Cross, because it compels us to penance and imitation of the suffering Christ in our own lives. The Novus Ordo, being sentimental, soft, and feminine, would prefer to focus on the more "fun" event of the Resurrection. After all, Lent and suffering are no fun. The partying happens on Easter! Even the modern world can understand and relate to "partying". And the Conciliar Church is all about conformity with the freemasonic Modern World.
Our Lady is traditionally called the Co-Redemptrix. But it wouldn't be traditional to depict her nailed to the cross, and then place that depiction in a home/chapel/seminary where a proper Crucifix should be!
You know, that's what statues and pictures are for. The Resurrection, Christ the King, Christ as High Priest, veneration of Mary and the other Saints, etc. are all noble, praiseworthy, and worthwhile depictions in art. But not on the Crucifix!
I think those who try to excuse this have been frog boiled.
"Lie down with dogs, rise up with fleas."
The neo-SSPX has been lying down with the diseased Conciliar Church for some time now...
They are in process of losing their Catholic sense. Give it enough time, and SSPX priests will be saying occasional Novus Ordo Masses just like the FSSP.
Baby steps...
