and to refrain from eating meat every Friday until Easter.

No, Catholics are expected to abstain from eating meat on every Friday of the year, not just the Fridays during Lent.

Can. 1250 The days and times of penance for the universal Church are each Friday of the whole year and the season of Lent.

Can. 1251 Abstinence from meat, or from some other food as determined by the Episcopal Conference, is to be observed on all Fridays, unless a solemnity should fall on a Friday. Abstinence and fasting are to be observed on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday.

I clicked the link you provided... I saw images of what appeared to be books, but alongside those images was just a bunch of gobbledigook. After a moment, I surmised your subtle intent... Lunar New Year Liturgy = Gobbledigook!

It's in Chinese, sorry (there is no English version available) . The book with code A004 is the one titled "Lunar New Year Liturgy" in Chinese.

How about a good old fashioned clown mass?

So now the novus church Roger the Dodger has given us both Ascension Sunday and Ash Saturday.

There. Fixed it for you.

I think these guys would do a wonderful job renovating Mahoney's Monstrosity.

Not so fast there.

"Ascension Sunday" is quite common in the novus church, courtesy of the USCCB.

Regarding the Ascension of the Lord, the ecclesiastical provinces of Boston, Hartford, New York, Newark, Philadelphia, Washington, and the State of Nebraska have retained its celebration on the proper Thursday, while all other provinces have transferred this solemnity to the Seventh Sunday of Easter, May 8.

Wow. The last time I saw one of those things, it was at the end of St. Michael's spear!

(Catching up on some long overdue FR lurking...)

Po. Wut up bro!

Man I haven't seen you in a month of Sundays, I thought you were gone for good.

Very nice to have you back. We need you here and on AQ.
