The New Mass: A Flavor of Protestantism - Priesthood of the Laity

“Catholics always believed that the Sacrifice of Calvary is renewed on the altar at the Holy Mass. By means of the sacrificing priest, the bread and wine is changed into the very Body and Blood of Our Lord at the moment of the Consecration. The words that the priest says at this moment constitute the Transubstantiation, a change of substance. Quite different from this elevated notion of the Mass, the New Mass represents a shocking liturgical revolution that makes it similar to Protestantism. For example, we have a man-made liturgy in which mention of the Sacrifice of Calvary has been removed, as well as any sacrificial tone, and only the notions of thanksgiving retained. There’s an emphasis on the memorial supper where the Mass becomes a Communion service which is a Protestant thesis emphasized by Luther. The so-called priesthood of the laity is overemphasized and causes confusion with the sacramental priesthood. Catholic teaching is that it is the priest, and the priest alone, who is necessary for the Mass to be effective. To the contrary, the New Mass promotes the idea that the priest is a mere delegate of the assembly, and the people are an essential part of the “celebration.”

Is that why we have the new Mass? So the Church can bring in protestant converts and it won't be overwhelming to them. If so, why are they thinking about them and not us who are already there?
