SSPX Obscuring The Feast of The Circuмcision of Our Lord ?
« on: January 03, 2018, 03:05:21 PM »
From another thread someone posted this about the Fraternity of St. Peter:


Quote
The FSSP has this feast day listed as the Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God and Octave of the Nativity... there is no mention whatsoever about the Feast of the Circuмcision.

Not only that but their website says that since this feast falls on a Monday, it is not a holy day of obligation.
The SSPX has not gone so far as to say "since this feast falls on a Monday, it is not a holy day of obligation", as the Fraternity of St. Peter has, however, since I think 2005, the SSPX in their calendars  say for January 1st Holy Day of Obligation, The Octave Day of the Nativity (I have calendars for 2000-2004 and 2010-2014). There is no mention of the Circuмcision since 2005 in the SSPX calendars.

Prior to 2005, the SSPX Calendars ALWAYS said for January 1st -  Holy Day of Obligation, The Circuмcision of Our Lord.

There was a change in 2005, why the change? It looks like the Novus Ordo church wants to program people to forget the Circuмcision, and the SSPX is going along with the program since 2005.

Yes, why the change? And is that about when Fr Novak was removed as editor?

On divinumofficium - the website for the Mass, which has all versions from 1570, it says: "Octave Day of the Nativity". "Circuмcision of the Lord" comes from the Gospel reading.

2005?  That's the same year when they no longer doubted the validity of the New Rite of Episcopal Consecration.  Why?  Because that was the year so-called "traditional" Ratzinger was elected to the papacy.

I don't doubt that they change in their calendars are directly related to the election of Ratzinger.

Which has all versions of what?

All of my old missals say  Circuмcision of the Lord. Guerranger in 1800's says Circuмcision of the Lord. Yes, it is also the 8 day of Christmas, the   "Octave Day of the Nativity", but that is not the reason for the Holy Day of Obligation, just like the 12th day of Christmas is known as the Epiphany.
