  • It's rather easy, but I don't trust my knowledge enough to do it myself.  I suppose I could do it, but really, I USE them more than make them, wonder if it's not a priestly duty anyway, and quite frankly I find the rubrics nearly incomprehensible. :(

    There's a site called iCalShare where Google, Outlook, Yahoo, and other "cloud" calendar users can find and subscribe to various calendars. (There are other sites too, but that seems to be the going "free open source" one). I had subscribed to the Trad Calendars for a few years, which got me out of typing it all by hand every year on my computer —but the two there now are out of date and not maintained.

    If someone has the time and knowledge of traditional Feast Days (1962 at least), all you have to do to publish and share it is:

    1. make an iCal file (new calender saved as ICAL format) and publish it to iCalShare (you need to have an account there because so many services use that site). Also, if you program at all, iCalShare has an API they're willing to send you free so your calendar could last a long time (you can program in how to calculate Easter every year, etc).

    or

    2. use Pratie.com to make an iCal file.

    TIPS! While it's interesting, calendar space on phones and tablets is at a premium (appointments, etc), so you might want to stick to the red letter days.

    Name of Calendar
    It should have "Traditional Catholic", of course, but also what Missal it's based on (1962, etc), as some NOvites call their calendars "traditional" and they're NOT. Also, in the description, note how long the calendar is good for if it's just for a few years. Many of us had iCals that worked through 2013, but come 1 Jan 2014, nothing. In fact, there are no trad cals at all there now that I can find. As I said, on iCalShare, there had been two, (1962), but now, there are only NONE. I find that so sad. :(

    Any takers? :D I noticed even traditio.com's calendar runs through THIS YEAR ONLY, which is why I put topic here (Resistance) instead of the computers subforum. I think it's a Resistance issue (or maybe even a Crisis!), more than a computer issue.

    Yes, thanks: that's one of the two that don't work. I think that one stopped working a few years ago, actually. One of the early ones I tried and showed to my priest, when he flipped it a few months ahead, he pointed out the discrepancies.

    He's at another parish now, but while his knowledge of the calendar was amazing, about all he could do on a computer was play Solitaire  :sad:

    I offered to help, but it was decided a male should do it, and I comply with that.

    I can just write it in by hand for the year, like I used to, from those calendars they give out, but, eh, thought I'd see if anyone here was willing to give it a shot. (I admit it's a huge responsibility. And people are busy; I get that. :) ).

  • That's the one I use to copy into my Outlook calendar, but the Traditio one seems to run out at the end of 2014. Thanks OCHA — maybe I can drop them a line and see if they're going to add the next few years to it!

  • .

    You can buy new TLM calendars from OLHC Garden Grove, CA, $5 each.

    It has all the Mass variables for every day of the year, according to the 1954 rules and rubrics, which includes all the Octaves that 1958 versions are missing (like the CMRI's).

  • I find the '62 Missal quite straight forward, but I do purchase the calendar from FSSP since I always pick up an Ordo from them. The Ordo is best because it tells you the commemorations and proper prefaces, etc. And I sometimes get confused because I pray the breviary of Pope Pius X, Divino Afflatu. On one occasion I attended Mass during Lent and did not realize it was a Ferial day. I was following along in my Missal for St. Thomas.

    Father Hall at breviary.net always has a nice pre-Bugnini calendar on sale for under $10 shipped. He may still have some for 2014.

    He once gave me a link to an Ordo for Divino Afflatu in Latin but I can't remember where it was. If anyone knows, please share.

    A subscription to his site will give you access to an online calendar and to me it is well worth it. I support them for their good works in publishing the breviary on line, even if I don't use it much having the books.

    Of course there is always divinumofficium.com which will give you all the calendars for free. Years ago I found lots of mistakes, but that site has been very accurate as of late whenever I go to double check something. Maybe I am just using it less and hitting it at the right times, but I don't think so. I think they have tightened up their links and it is also a wonderful resource. God bless Laszlo for creating it, and may he rest in peace.
