You beat me to it!

Question: I’m not sure how the obligation is handled for those who worship according to the extraordinary Mass and calendar, does anyone know?

Example: I was blessed to be able to attend High Mass for Ascension Thursday today, and on Sunday our parish will celebrate the Sunday with the Octave of the Ascension. My diocese transferred the obligation to Sunday, so if I had missed Mass today would I have to go to an OF Mass on Sunday to hear an Ascension Mass?

The laity is bound by the rules of the diocese, not the EF calendar. Only the Ecclesia Dei communities are bound by the EF calendar. Since the laity is not part of the community, it follows the local bishop. Think of the EF calendar as if you were traveling outside of your country. You go to Italy where the feasts of St. Francis of Assisi and St. Catherine of Sienna are holy days of obligation. It does not bind you, because you’re not part of that diocese. In this case, you’re not part of the FSSP or the SSPX.

No. The law is that you must attend mass on the holy day. Since you’re going to Sunday mass anyway, you’re fulfilling the law.

Fraternally,

Brother, thanks. I was aware of your first point (I mentioned the EF part because only by using two calendars could you be in this position) but it’s good to get it out there. I was mostly concerned that my Sunday Mass needed to be the propers for the Ascension, but I’m relieved that I was mistaken. Thank you, again.
