Please move this argument to another thread or kill it completely. You’ve brought this way off-topic already.
The fact is, the Church says on her God-given authority that the current rite of the Mass is valid. Therefore, your words carry no weight with the faithful Catholics here. You’ve done nothing but be your own Pope. Ramble all you want, it will do no good.

In Part V of DeDefectibus in Celebratione Missarum Occurrentibus which is a section incorporated into the rubrics and the Roman Missal at Trent, which was to be used in perpetuity, the words of consecration, which are the FORM of the sacrement (remember that for a sacrement to be valid it must have proper matter and form) are :"For this is the Chalice of my Blood, of the new and eternal testament; the mystery of faith, which shall be shed for you and for MANY unto the remission of sins"
In the “All English Canon” that was introduced, the ICEL gave the following form for the wine consecration:
“this is the cup of my blood, the blood of the new and everlasting covenant-the mystery of faith. This blood is to be shed for you and for all men so that sins may be forgiven”
After two more goes at it, it now reads:
"This is the cup of my blood, the blood of the new and everlasting covenant. It will be shed for you and for ALL so that sins may be forgiven"
(pro multis-for many, not for all no matter what the liberals say, it translates as for many)
So, the questions is asked, has the form been altared, destroyed, invalidated? If not, why not, as a church, change it at all, why change the most sacred part of the Mass, is it because Bugnini and his 6 Protestants wanted it that way?
