Actually, you are only half right. It is true, what is now the Extraordinary Form of the Mass was not abrogated; however, the law that put it into effect as the norm of the universal Church, Quo Primum Tempore, was. It only allowed the Mass to be said “in perpetuity”, according to the changes initiated by Pope Pius V, if future popes did not abrogate the law Quo Primum. Pope Paul VI did so, and he was perfectly within his authority when he did, as a past pope cannot bind his successors in matters of discipline, including how the liturgy is to be said. Even papal bulls, such as those which protect religious orders of Pontifical Right, can be revoked by future popes if they wish to do so.
Have you been insinuating from your posts that Catholics like myself, who attend the Ordinary Form, are in fact not attending a Catholic Mass? If that is the case, then you are accusing us of idolatry because you would be implying that we are receiving nothing more than ordinary bread and wine. Even the pope himself, who celebrates the Ordinary Form on a normal basis, would not be consecrating bread and wine into the Body and Blood of Christ simply by virtue of the fact that he celebrates that Form publicly. I would be careful in accusing others of such things, if I were in your position.
