Reason 11

11. Because the New Mass does not manifest Faith in the Real Presence of our Lord—the traditional Mass manifests it unmistakably. (Bolding in the original)


I have no idea how to answer this beyond suggesting attending a properly celebrated OF Liturgy. “Behold the Lamb of God,” “The Body of Christ,” “Lord I am not worthy to receive you,” not to mention bells, genuflecting and kneeling (again, when celebrated properly). The New Mass is rife with the symbols and references to the Real Presence of Christ.

It should be noted that not all Masses are celebrated in such a way that the Real Presence is clearly delineated, but that bears no effect on the liturgy’s capacity to manifest such Faith.

I cannot off the top of my head think of any major indicator of the Real Presence found in the traditional Mass which is not carried over into the New. Furthermore, these indicators are, in fact, more unmistakable because they are presented regularly (for better or worse) in the common language. Thus an uneducated man would not necessarily understand “Domine non sum dignus ut intres sub tectum meum” but they will grasp “Lord I am not worthy to receive you under my roof” (as the revised translation states).

Again I will reiterate that there is found in the traditional Mass no great indication of the Real Presence that is not also found in the New Mass. They are, in this regard, essentially equal
