Yes, the Ordo is for E&W but the change (removal) of the feasts was done for the entire Latin Church (with exceptions granted). Perhaps you could ask your priest to show you his altar missal?

Technically, the Propers of various places are not permitted to **omit **feasts that occur on the Universal calendar. E&W would not have special permission to do so if it was not done for the Latin Church. They can add their own, or sometimes, even have a local saint outrank, and in very rare cases, transfer, but they cannot omit.

Can I ask if the feasts (Invention of the Cross, etc.) are found in the Proper Feasts section for the USA or among the other feasts of the sanctorale in your missal? And what rank do they have?

I can’t speak as to why they don’t mention it but it was removed insofar as the day appears as a feria in the calendar.

The majority of feasts are the same, but some were removed. Another example the the Cathedra Petri at Rome which was combined with the *Cathedra Petri *at Antioch to form one feast on the latter’s date. Then also another feast of St. Peter that was suppressed was ad Vincula on August 1. St. Stephen also has one of his doublets removed: the Finding of St. Stephen. That omission also should appear in the altar missal.

Just to add something, as far as I can remember it seams that the Institute of Christ the King celebrate the Chair of Peter in Rome and the Chair of Peter in Antioch as well, at least here in Europe. They officially say they use the 1962 Missal but it seams they realy use an older addition 1958 maybe? Well I know they do say the name of Joseph in the Canon, but the say Benedicamus Domino, even though the '62 rubrics ommit this except when theirs a procession.

Got it! The documents you are looking for are first Code of Rubrics, July 25, 1960, The Calendar, then Variationes in the breviary and missal, no. 8, regarding the suppression and then the changes to the Martyrology on these dates. Then also one of Feb. 14, 1961, The particular calendars and Proper Offices and Masses revised according to the norm and spirit of the Code of Rubrics", no. 34 orders St. Analcletus to henceforth be celebrate on under the name St. Cletus (April 26) St. Vitalis to be only celebrated under the name which appears together with St. Agricola (Nov. 26). Further it orders that in places the Principal Patron is transferred for the following:
Finding of Holy Cross-Exaltation of Holy Cross
St. John before the Latin gate- St. John, Apostle and Evangelist
Appar. St. Michael to the feast of St. Michael, Archangel
St. Peter ad Vincula to Ss. Peter & Paul
Finding of St. Stephen to the feast of St. Stephen
