3 comments:
And my by now customary two, or maybe three, cents (do you say "pennies" for that in England?):
1. An addition to what might perhaps even then been the case.
22 Sunday: also designated day for prayer and collection for the missions. Third prayers from the Votive Mass for the Propagation of Faith.
2. The "let's not have a Marian feast at every Sunday" variant.
22 Sunday. St. John Cantius, double, white, fixa ex 20 huius. Com. of the Sunday. Third prayers from the Votive Mass for the Propagation of Faith. The said Votive Mass is strongly suggested for the principal Mass (violet, Com. of the saint and the Sunday). Vespers of the Most Holy Redeemer, Com. of the saint and the Sunday.
The feast of the Patronage of the Blessed Virgin is not fixed to a day, but merged with (say) a feast of her Queenship, the main focus of which would be her function as Mediatrix of All Graces.
(So, the deviation did not actually result in any green, because the permanently impeded feast, in the general calendar St. John Cantius is on the 20th, get a fixed date; those fixed dates trump Sundays even though normal translations can't. Unless of course if St. John Cantius were also reduced to a semidouble, for which he, a diocesan priest and professor who is not his country's patron saint, at least not primary patron saint, would indeed be a good candidate.)
26 Thursday St. Francis Borgia semidouble, white, Com. of St. Evaristus. (Fixed from 10 October in the worldwide Church; here it was put to the 11th which would then be the feast of the Maternity).
Beverley, Shrewsbury as given. St. Francis Borgia is put further off (I don't think a transferred semidouble would trump a Vigil of an Apostle).
27 Friday Vigil, violet.
3. The "newer saints" update.
22 Sunday. Add, possibly, a Commemoration of St. John Paul II. (Yes I know some think in order to claim to be consequent, they need to dislike him because they criticize him for some things, but for reasons that would be beyond the scope of this combox I really think he should not only be accepted but really venerated much. For him to fall on Mission Sunday makes especial sense. I do not, on the other hand, think he should be made a Doctor of the Church; it makes sense that this is a separate title. Interesting that his feast in the reformed liturgy is on the same day the English, though not the general calendar, had the fixed feast of his great Polish compatriot.)
4. The results from combining the two.
26 Thursday St. Giovanni Leonardi, semidouble, white, from October 9th, or if he has no feast at all then St. Denys and companions, semidouble, red, also from October 9th (which would otherwise have been commemorated there).
Beverley, Shrewsbury as given.
The feasts of St. Giovanni Leonardi or St. Denys & Comp. (Beverley, Shrewsbury only), St. Francis Borgia and St. Hedwig (both all dioceses) are further put off. (I am assuming here again that semidoubles are not transferred to a Vigil, with the possible exception of that of St. Lawrence.
Well, that got me thinking a bit. So, assume the feasts of St. John Paul II and St. Anthony Mary Claret would really be both adapted, and assume further that our Lady's purity was on the general Calendar (which I believe it wasn't), we might expect the General Calendar to look like this:
22 St. John Paul II, semidouble.
25 St. Hedwig, Com. of St. Evaristus. (from 15th, though 1870something: 17th, 1962: 16th, but that's where we assumed the Purity feast to be on the general calendar and not on a Sunday).
26 St. Chrysanthus & Daria. (Daria, not Darius by the way). A bit of wishful thinking perhaps that St. Anthony wouldn't be put here, but the one feast of a married couple celebrated together, and martyrs at that, should perhaps not be reduced to a commemoration even if it's a simple and the two saints are virtually unknown. (There's still St. Marius, Martha, Audifax and one other in January; their children?)
29 (next week then) St. Anthony Mary Claret, semidouble (from 24th). Why he was actually put to the 23rd when that's the day before his natalis and the 25th only had St. Evaristus is beyond me.
This then would lead the fixed Calendar for England:
22 St. John Paul II
23 The Redeemer
24 St. Raphael
25 St. John of Beverley, Com. of St. Evaristus (St. Hedwig put of to yet a later date).
26 St. Giovanni Leonardi (or St. Denys). Beverley, Shrewsbury St. Peter of Alcantara:
27 Vigil. Perhaps the feast of St. John Cantius, being double, could be fixed here (though that would be something of a pity, and he might be reduced to semidouble anyway).
28 St. Ursula & Comp., Com. of St. Hilarion.
The feasts of St. Giovanni Leonardi (Bev & Shrews only), St. Francis Borgia, St. Hedwig and (if not on the Vigil) St. John Cantius are put further off.
And then the applied Calendar
On Sunday the 21st after Pentecost, of the Sunday, green. Com. of St. John Paul II (probably; there will hardly be a free place for his feast) and of the Votive Mass for the Propagation of the Faith (do they replace the usual third prayers?). Having this Votive Mass, with Commemorations, for one, possibly the principal, Mass on Sunday is furtherly suggested.
Otherwise as fixed.
So, we did arrive at a green Sunday by the curious fact that a (here new) semidouble trumps the transfer, even the "first class transfer" by which a feast gets a new fixed date, of a double, but Sundays trump the new semidouble when they didn't trump the fixedly transferred double. Fascinating.
Daria for Darius corrected. It shows that misgendering isn't just a challenge for the woke!
I'd write 'Here's my sixpennorth' (sixpence-worth): 6d was half a shilling, which was a twentieth of a pound.
This, and your discussion last week with Rubricarius, just emphasise that the profusion of canonisations would have forced a change in the calendar rules, though I think his suggestion that each diocese would be able to draw at will from the universal calendar has great merit.
