Bishop Bernard Fellay was critical of the theology of the Novos Ordo Mass and not the Mass as the Sacrifice of Jesus

The Society of St.Pius X U.S website has posted reports which indicate that the recent criticism of the Novos Ordo Mass was of the theology accompanying Holy Mass in the vernacular and not the Mass itself, which still is the Sacrifice of Our Lord. The website says that 'a criticism of the Nw Rite cannot be a criticism of the Mass itself, for this is the very sacrifice of Our Lord bequeathed to His Church'


A criticism of the New Rite cannot be a criticism of the Mass in itself, for this is the very sacrifice of Our Lord bequeathed to His Church, but it is an examination, whether it is a fit rite for embodying and enacting this august Sacrifice.

It is clear that the Novus Ordo no longer intends to present the Faith as taught by the Council of Trent… It represents, both as a whole and in its details, a striking departure from the Catholic theology of the Mass as it was formulated in Session 22 of the Council of Trent. The “canons” of the rite definitively fixed at that time erected an insurmountable barrier against any heresy which might attack the integrity of the mystery.
