An ad-lib fabricated Novus Ordo "liturgy" in the rain is of no value, especially when the priest didn't even follow the prescribed words for the NO Mass. It was make-it-up-as-we-go-along. That isn't Catholic, even NO Catholic. It's Protestant in all but name.
Regarding "His All Holiness Bartholomew I of Constantinople", that is his title which is respect and which he keeps, unlike Bergoglio, who has rejected all the ancient Papal titles, including "Vicar of Christ"...which he isn't. He rejected it himself. As for the Russian Orthodox Church, read what their so-called "patriarch" said about the Ukrainians, and how much he is cheering the Russian soldiers and arm in arm with Putin. He encourages the soldiers to go ahead with the war and defend "holy Russia". Just like Pope Francis' Vatican, there ain't anything holy about Russia.
As for Novus Ordo and TLM, just look at the stats, like I did helping a priest publish a book on the disaster of Vatican II and the Novus Ordo. Since it's introduction, Mass attendance in most of Europe went from 55-65% overall (with some countries running as high as 95% such as ireland, Hungary and Poland pre-Vatican II), and the USA at 75%, to the stats for 2021 which show some countries in Europe as low as 2% (Netherlands), and France (5%). Italy is at 35% as is Spain. Ireland is now below 20%, but Poland and Hungary are still fairly high, 70% and 48%. USA is 22%. In my own Archdiocese of Philadelphia, it was 85% pre-Vatican II/Novus Ordo, and today 12%. It took months to get this data, even going down to Catholic U. in DC, but stats don't lie.
Another stat: 800-1110+ priestly ordinations in general, USA 1939-65. Today, 430.
Seminarians pre-Novus Ordo: 48,211 1965.........3,300 today
Priests: 60,476 1964.....................30,771 today........median age 66.2
Nuns: 181,206 1965..................35,933 today......median age 81.5
Brothers: 11,424 1965.......................2,966 today.....median age: 72.0
So keep say how valid the Novus Ordo is!
Just because some Pope in 1965 had the NOVUS ORDO created out of nothing and decreed it valid in 1969 doesn't make it so considering its results.
