And the "newer feasts update".

Tuesday 12th: Our Lady of Guadelupe, Patroness of the Americas, double. First and Second Vespers of her (Comm. of St. Damasus at the 1st, St. Lucy at the 2nd). Preface "Et te in Festivitate". Of her octave, although it is still ongoing, nothing whatsoever.

Liverpool. Our Lady of Guadeloupe, Com. of the Octave of St. Nicholas (at 1st Vespers of course also of St. Damasus). Vespers of the following (i.e. the Octave Day of St. Nicholas), Com. of our Lady of Guadeloupe and I guess, other than where the vespers directly is of the feast, also of her octave (but I'm not sure, and you're not generally including weekday vespers anyway).

The original plan was to have an imaginary parish handbook which would sit in the sacristy, in which the Parish Priest would have a full Ordo for the year in Latin, while the Sacristan would have a cut back version in English for a parish which (and many - most - did) have Sunday Vespers as a liturgical celebration. The plan had to be cut back, and I won't be doing this next year (though there are two or three 1872 Ordines on line if anybody else wants a go).

If I'm spared and various health problems affecting those close to me allow, I hope to write a piece at the end of the year to compare and contrast per- and post-Divino Afflatu calendars with the 1962 version, and say that 1962 just won't do.

I don't know enough to produce a a thesis arguing that all of the post-1945 liturgical 'reforms' were made possible by Pope St Pius X's genuine wish to lessen the burden on parish clergy and restore a better balance between the Temporal and Sanctoral in the calendar. I was blocked on Twitter by Rorate Caeli the first time I tried this argument, possibly because they thought I was saying something nasty about Pius X (I wasn't): I'll have to try harder.

Ttony,

I do hope you will re-consider doing a series for next year.

The problem with any criticism, even of a constructive nature, of 1911-13 and later reforms is that is raises the question of what went wrong. The Traditionalist narrative has been to blame the SVC and Paul VI for all liturgical woes. Any deviation from that script does not make one popular.

I do not agree with everything he says, but Dr. Peter Kwasniewski has been making inroads in breaking that mainstream Traditionalist narrative with his many recent articles on the liturgy and recent book "The Once and Future Roman Rite."
