The Real Offertory blowed-up by revolutionaries who replaced it with a meal prayer of the Messias-Deniers
Jewish Meal Prayer Bolded in this comparison of the Real Mass and the Revolutionary Rite
THE OFFERTORY
[The priest now says the Offertory for the Mass being offered. He then uncovers the chalice and in a lower voice says:]
[The Priest, standing at the altar, takes the paten with the bread and holds it slightly raised above the altar with both hands, saying in a low voice:]
The Offering of the Host
P: Receive, O Holy Father, almighty and eternal God, this spotless host, which I, Thine unworthy servant, offer unto Thee, my living and true God, for my countless sins, trespasses, and omissions; likewise for all here present, and for all faithful Christians, whether living or dead, that it may avail both me and them to salvation, unto life everlasting. Amen.
P: Blessed are you, Lord God of all creation, for through your goodness we have received the bread we offer you: fruit of the earth and work of human hands, it will become for us the bread of life.
[Then he places the paten with the bread on the corporal. If, however, the Offertory Chant is not sung, the Priest may speak these words aloud; at the end, the people may acclaim:]
R: Blessed be God for ever.
[The priest goes to the Epistle side and pours wine and water into the chalice.]
[The Deacon, or the Priest, pours wine and a little water into the chalice, saying quietly:]
P: O God, Who in creating man didst exalt his nature very wonderfully and yet more wonderfully didst establish it anew: by the mystery signified in the mingling of this water and wine, grant us to have part in the Godhead of Him Who hath vouchsafed to share our manhood, Jesus Christ, Thy Son, Our Lord, Who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God; world without end. Amen.
The Offering of the Chalice
[At the middle of the altar, the priest says:]
[The Priest then takes the chalice and holds it slightly raised above the altar with both hands, saying in a low voice:]
P: We offer unto Thee, O Lord, the chalice of salvation, beseeching Thy clemency that it may ascend as a sweet odor before Thy divine majesty, for our own salvation, and for that of the whole world. Amen.
P: Blessed are you, Lord God of all creation, for through your goodness we have received the wine we offer you: fruit of the vine and work of human hands it will become our spiritual drink. [Then he places the chalice on the corporal. If, however, the Offertory Chant is not sung, the Priest may speak these words aloud; at the end, the people may acclaim:]
R: Blessed be God for ever.
[After this, the Priest, bowing profoundly, says quietly:]
P: Humbled in mind, and contrite of heart, may we find favour with Thee, O Lord; and may the sacrifice we this day offer up be well pleasing to Thee, Who art our Lord and our God.
P: Come, Thou, the Sanctifier, God, almighty and everlasting: bless (✠) this sacrifice which is prepared for the glory of Thy holy name.
P: With humble spirit and contrite heart may we be accepted by you, O Lord, and may our sacrifice in your sight this day be pleasing to you, Lord God.

The revolutionaries blowed-up the Catholic Offertory - composed by Holy Catholic men who loved The Messias - and they substituted for it a meal prayer created by the Messias-Deniers.
This alone is enough to convince any man of good will that Vatican Two was a revolution that overturned the Catholic Order and established a Novus Ordo - a New Order.
Now, read again the Jewish Meal prayer and asks your own self how could the revolutionaries do this if they did not think the Real Mass, which is a Holy Holocaust, a real and true sacrifice, should become instead a meal?
Now, here are a few verses from Baruch 6 which I read today.
Presumably, the revolutionaries were Bible readers of Baruch and yet these verses did not give them pause?
[50] For seeing they are but of wood, and laid over with gold, and with silver, it shall be known hereafter that they are false things, by all nations and kings: and it shall be manifest that they are no gods, but the work of men's hands, and that there is no work of God in them.
[51] Whence, therefore, is it known that they are not gods, but the work of men's hands, and no work of God is in them?
In "The Shape of the Liturgy, "Dom Gregory Dix (ppg 46, 47) observes The eucharist when celebrated alone normally began with the offertory - With absolute unanimity the liturgical tradition reproduces these seven actions (...seven - action scheme ...of the Last upper)
as four: The offertory; bread and wine are taken and placed on the table together,,,
Others, such as Fr. Jungmann in The Mass of The Roman Rite (Vol. II, page 99) describes the Offertory as These prayers do not pretend to be an anticipation of the canon but rather a suggestion of its various motive.
So, it can not be denied that what the revolutionaries blowed-up was of grave significance whereas the substituted meal prayer is a rebarbative rupture with our Righteous Rite and which rupture with sacred tradition seems to be an effort to dissolve into naturalism our understanding of what it is that Jesus is doing in His Holy Holocaust.
The revolutionaries want to propagandise the faithful that The Real Mass/Holy Sacrifice of the Mass/Holy Holocaust is a memorial meal.

Cardinal Siri of Genoa on the Gnosticism present at Vatican Two
The great Cardinal Siri of Genoa had this to day about Gnosticism:
1. Opinions Replace Truth .
In this world the first and fundamental doctrine of power consists of an affirmation that there is no truth. Saint Augustine said that the difference between the city of this world and the city of God consists of the former having a thousand opinions, while the latter has only one truth. The basic difference between both cities, therefore, is not based on the content, but on the very existence of truth. It suffices to remember the dramatic dialogue between Jesus and Pilate.
What is most grave is that there is a technique to replace truth by opinions. This technique exists and is very useful. It suffices to look at present religious, literary, and philosophical productions. Opinions can be so cautiously expressed that it is impossible to get to know what the author’s thesis is, or even more paradoxical, doctrines that are mutually contradictory are juxtaposed as if they were consistent.
Let us look at the words, “God is dead.’ 1 If the slogan were denial , everybody would be able to understand. However, here we have a subtly sophisticated idea through which “theologians” want to convey the deceitful impression they are preserving the most assayed and chemically pure idea of God . . . through its “identification” with the most profound reality of man.
Even the ambiguous terms “conservative” and “progressive” conceal the relativistic technique, which leads every doctrinal issue in the direction of right wing and left wing. Thus everything becomes relative; everything becomes a matter of opinions and an instrument of power. Relativity of truth and doctrine is the actual goal of these arbitrary developments of the Church’s present problems.
Is not this measure, proclaimed even by bishops and cardinals among us, absurd and most unjust, as if it were an ideal to place us halfway between truth and error?
2. Is Gnosis Reappearing?
[To name the current errors in the Church, one speaks about a new Modernism and also the Protestantization of the Church, but the Archbishop of Genoa prefers to use the term Gnosis.]
Let it be remembered that Gnosis, with its appeal to science and higher speculation, with its eagerness to understand mystery and to naturalize the Faith, was, during the second century, perhaps the worst danger in all the history of the Church. I believe that the complex of errors circulating today can be called Gnosis , systematically speaking. But … do many people know what they are talking about? This is terrible, but they do not!
One does not act on rational grounds, but on one’s excessive desire to adapt oneself to the world. Worldly power, however, has its own philosophy, and fashionable theologians translate fashionable opinions into theological language, not because they accept a doctrine as such, but because they accept these doctrines that flatter the powers of this world.
The present times are grave, not because it is no longer a question of opposition or contrast between truth and error, but between truth and non-truth, between the order of truth and the dictatorship of public opinion. People believe they are free because this appears in juridical texts; as a matter of fact, this deceiving belief is evidence of their servitude.

Just what'n'hell is Global Warming?
From Everything you believe is wrong by William M. Briggs, page 89:
A popular subject at the time of writing is the thermodynamics of externally heated fluid flow on a rotating sphere. That's the more technical name of global cooling (1970s), global warming (1990s), and climate change (2010s); the name changes with the politics.
