The rubrics for the prayer for the Dead, Fidelium, seem much simpler and consistent pre-1911-13. The revised rubrics are quite complex and limit the use as it can no longer be said on a feast of simple rite.

The other aspect of the reform that stands out this week is the practice of reducing feasts of nine lessons when occurring with a greater privileged feria such as Ash Wednesday so post 1911-13 we have the feast of St Peter's Chair at Antioch reduced to a commemoration but the ferial preces are said. Transferring the feast to Saturday so it can be celebrated in its integrity seems far preferable.

You accidentally put the images of this week's Ordo instead of next week's.
