    I like the one by the dimonds, it has a nice layout and is colour coded.

  • Fr. Martin Skierka, SSPV, makes a great pre-1954 Calendar for the United States:  https://www.ihm-church.org/publications/church-calendar.html

  • LOL, Taylor Marshall has one that has both the pre-1955 and the 1962 information on it (have to appeal to his entire audience) ... though, strangely, no 1955 (pre-1962).

    That's pretty neat.  I haven't seen it before, but that might be because they give it away for free (to print out), whereas Taylor Marshall hawks his calendar (and his Nikolaos book) the entirety of most of his videos.  You can say a lot of things about the Dimonds, but they're not in it for the money (unlike many grifters).  They make all their videos available for free online and if you do want to buy videos/books, I can't see how they're not losing money given how little they charge.

    Do the Dimonds go with the 1955 changes or are pre-1955?  I haven't seen them ever make a statement about the 1955 Pius XII reforms.

  • Just for comparison:

    Dimonds:  Free (for self-printing)

    CMRI: $9

    Angelus Press:  $12.95 (since no link yet -- https://angeluspress.org/products/2024-traditional-liturgical-calendar)

    Fr. Skierka: $15 (or less for higher quantities)

    Taylor Marshall: $27

    Hmmm.

    So I guess it depends on whether you want pre-1955 (SSPV & Marshall) or 1955 (CMRI) or 1962 (Angelus & Marshall).

    I don't know yet which one the Dimonds use ... haven't looked into it.  They seem to show the 1956 and 1957 changes to the fasting/abstinence rules in the US, but not sure about the Liturgical aspect.

    Hmmm.
    With a digital format and delivery the Diamond’s don’t have any cash expense involved, just their time.  It is easy for them to offer their calendar for free.  If ink jet printing (which isn’t free) and single sheets per month on 20 lb. paper works for someone, this is a good deal.
     
    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.

    Patience is a conquering virtue. The learned say that, if it not desert you, It vanquishes what force can never reach; Why answer back at every angry speech? No, learn forbearance or, I'll tell you what, You will be taught it, whether you will or not.

    I'm not actually sure as I'm not familiar with the changes.

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

    Dear Ladislaus,

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

    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:   
    Let nothing disturb you, let nothing frighten you, all things pass away: God never changes. Patience obtains all things. He who has God finds he lacks nothing; God alone suffices. - St. Teresa of Jesus
