  • If one needs or wants a bound calendar, ink that doesn’t run, and quality paper, among the other options the CMRI calendar would be good.  The $9.00 is likely about their cost of printing and mailing, I doubt there is much margin there.  While I don’t know, I wouldn’t be surprised if their calendar isn’t distributed for free at their chapels.  This was the norm pre VII and is still customary in diocesan parishes today (I realize those wouldn’t be acceptable calendars here).  The calendars are often sponsored by a business in the parish.
    The cost of the calendar does not include shipping which is computed at checkout.

    At the CMRI church I attend, calendars are given to all registered parishioners (I know some will object to the term because it's not technically a parish, I just don't have another term that adequately explains).  As of last weekend, there were additional calendars in the back and people who wish to take one are asked to put the cost of the calendar in the box.

    The CMRI calendars do not include advertisements.

  • If 2024 does take that downward spiral :(, a year from now we might all be reduced to scratching the 2025 calendar on rocks, in dark freezing cold bunkers, never mind Tay-Tay.
    For fast & abstinence, every calendar day will be a Matthew 17:20 day... here's hoping not! :cowboy: :pray: :incense:

  • Were those rule changes dome by Pius 12? And are they for the entire world or just USA?

    Some were universal, and some were left to the US bishops, so the Dimond calendar is US-focused.  There are probably certain feasts also that are celebrated in the US (at least at different priorities) than elsewhere in the world and vice versa.  But I could see where one would accept the fasting/abstinence rule changes while using the pre-1955 Liturgy.

    That's the problem with these calendars is that there's an admixture of Liturgical calendar and fasting/abstinence rules that could in theory be mixed and matched ... depending.

    SSPX have even more complications because in theory they accept the Conciliar Church's major relaxation of fasting/abstinence and even Holy Days.  To give one example coming up, for the Conciliar Church, January 1 is not a Holy Day of obligation, so to be consistent the SSPX can't really treat it as such (whether on their Calendars or otherwise) since if you accept the V2 papal claimants as legitimate popes, it's perfectly within their powers to lift the obligation for January 1.

  • Dear Ladislaus,

    I would rather scratch my own calendar on a rock with a nail than buy anything from Tay-Tay!

    Well, especially when Marshall is clearly inflating the price to double what these others charge ... since he has to grift in order to make a living.

  • These are actually very nice (really like the artwork) ... though I'm not sure what year they're geared toward ...

    https://shop.saintbenedict.com/2024-traditional-calendar-of-saints/

    $12, $9.50 for 4 or more, $7.50 for 10 and more.

    All the other groups max out at about $12 for a Calendar, which means they probably get them printed for about $7 each ... and so Taylor Marshall is adding a $20-per-calendar profit margin onto his.

  • I would recommend this one ....  That gives me an idea, a calendar with the "villains of Vatican II", from Saint Roncall, Saint Montini, Saint Wojtyla et al.

    Actually, SSPX might go with this one in the not too distant future.

    But...but...but... maybe he puts his special blessing on each and every one.

    He will sign his books … evidently thinks very highly of himself.

    On the higher end, and not a calendar to write on, but we love these. Been getting and hanging them for 2+ years. Stunningly beautiful, with really nice companion booklets each cycle. Really great for families with children like ours... It follows the 1962 calendar... Incredibly rich in detail. My children and I look at ours daily. Hangs right by the front door.

    I had to pay $7 at the CMRI chapel that I go to for a calendar, but then again the chapel coordinator ordered them in bulk.

    Thankfully the SSPX chapel that I go to emailed everyone to let us know that January 1 is a holy day of obligation and that they will have a morning Mass. I know it's not consistent with the Conciliar Church, but thank God for that!
