But for the sake of argument, say the Words are meant to be recited as narrative. I wish to put forward what Joseph Pohle wrote in his work on Dogmatic Theology. He seems to (correct me if I’m wrong) say that an intention to consecrate is sufficient, as long as there is not a positive contrary intention of the priest NOT to consecrate by the Words. He is treating the case of Eastern Orthodox priests who attribute the consecration to the “epiclesis” and not to the Words
As to bells, yes they are optional for the NO. But if you look, for the TLM, the rubrics for ringing the bell only make reference to a low Mass, not a sing or high Mass, though it was common to ring the bell for High Mass also, and eventually in the early 20th century, sanctioned by the Congregation of Rites.
As for the vision of Marie-Julie Jahenny, one can very easily apply it to the problems of the Church with the secular governments of Europe at the time with their own “national” churches particularly in France, Italy and Germany
As an addendum, I finally note that the formula of Intention which the priest recites in the sacristy “Ego volo” is the same in both the TLM/EF and the NO/OF

That’s a highly subjective statement. For example, the miracles…if IRC, Fr. Cekedas tract making reference to that used for example, the idea that the miracle of raising Lazarus was omitted form the collect for Mary Magdalene. Actually it was not omitted because of the miracle but to avoid identification of Mary Magdalene as the same Mary as the sister of Lazarus. The NO actually provides an entire preface on the miracle of raising Lazarus. One can go through the collects and find examples to demolish various claims. For example, see St. Peter Canisius “Lord, you gave St. Peter Canisius wisdom and courage to defend the Catholic faith…… “. So much for collects of saints not mentioning it.

. The reformed Missal enriches the Mass by not relying on purely Roman liturgical texts (the scientific study of the Liturgy did not really begin till some time after Trent was finished), & restores some important emphases the old one lacks: a weakness of the older is that it is not difficult to imagine that the congregation is present by co-incidence - rather than being the local part of the Body of Christ gathered together as that body to worship God. This latter point is made beautifully clear in the reformed Missal. There is also the doctrinal point that the 1962 Missal does not (so it would seem) fully reflect the Catholic teaching on the doctrine of the Sacrament of Order, which was amplified by Vatican 2. ****The revised Confiteor ISTM improves on the older, as it includes a confession of sins of omission. **
