I thought it was a joke:

When I was much younger, in the middle of the last century, The Ascension was celebrated on the Thursday forty days after Easter and Corpus Christi was celebrated ten days after Pentecost. That was the way things should be, but like many of the practices of the Catholic Church, the observance days were changed for no good reason that I can perceive.

To me, most of the changes made in the wake of Vatican II were wrongheaded and compromised the beauty of the Liturgy, the sanctity of the Eucharist and the mission of the Church itself. Just my $.02 - I don't expect many to agree with me, but that's my take on it.



Nos genuflectitur ad non princeps sed Princeps Pacem!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

“Dumb Ox” was a giveaway for St. Aquinas, but the rest of the history was unknown to me, including his liturgy.

Thanks very much for posting.
