How could any non sede say its a Holy Day of Obligation if the diocese says it isn't?

That's the difficulty with R&R. We try to abide by traditional ways but we really should know what is "extra" (traditional) and what is the truly required bottom line (current disciplines). I think it's important for a properly formed conscience. You don't want a bunch of people out there thinking they are under pain of mortal sin if they aren't. But I would hope the priests are still encouraging it to be treated seriously because it is an important day. It was a Holy Day when Catholics were sane and serious about their Faith. There is a reason for that. There is also a reason for our current laxer and laxer rules. We should be strongly encouraged to follow the traditional ways.

In the back of the SSPX calendar it does say its a Holy Day of Obligation.

I wonder if it was printed before the change?

Right, OK, that seems more reasonable to me.  "the Church isn't technically requiring this, but we still strongly recommend it."  Same with the fasting rules.

The diocese of Kansas City accepts Vatican II (heresy) and is no longer Catholic. 
If they say that Christmas is no longer a holy day of obligation, do we listen to them? 
NO.

We don't care if they say water is wet.  SSPX has supplied juristiction, and people go
to SSPX, because they don't want any part of heresy, such as the diocese of KC.

If SSPX in Saint Marys accepts the NEW rule that the Ascension is not a holy day,
then we want to know when SSPX signed an agreement with Rome to obey the local
diocesan bishop.   It looks like Fellay has already done so and is keeping it a secret
as usual. 

What's next?  You don't have to go to Mass anymore, but we will provide the service,
anyway. 

You don't have to go to confession anymore, but we will provide the service ?
