Misericordie:
This is getting really old, and the moderators themselves have asked you to link to poctures, rather than posting them on the forum. We get the point; grow up.
Also, your pictures don’t prove anything. They are not typical of the Nervous Ordo, but are extremist.
Yes, the Missa Normativa is easily bastardized; eve when not celebrated in an abusive manner, it can still be celebrated without reverence or solemnity. (The same holds true for the Tridentine Mass, but to a much lesser degree.) I don’t see how any thinking person can deny this.
That having been said, this is still the Church’s normative Mass, and our priests are under obligation to celebrate this Mass as reverently as possible, and we the faithful to assist at this Mass, or any other approved by the Church. The Tridentine Mass, at present, is permissible only by Indult. No Catholic has a “right” to it. (We do have a right to a non-abusive Mass, but not to the rite of our choice. What the Church gives us is what we are to accept.)
Nothing justifies the current SSPX schism. Nothing. Not the most sacreligious Mass, the most heretical bishop, the most depraved priest: nothing. A holy man persecuted by his religious superiors is still bound to obey them in all things save sin.
Remember Saint Pius of Pietrelcina, falsely accused of sexual misconduct, and mistreated by his brethren and superiors? He was forced to not hear confessions or say Mass publicly. Did he go into schism because he knew he was in the right? No; he obeyed his superiors. Would Lefebvre and his schismatic followers have had the same good sense and holy dispositions!
