You’ll notice that no one here has denied that today is also the 30th Sunday after Pentecost.
But, according to the Holy Father it is also the Feast of Christ the King in some parishes.
Are you denying him that authority?

What is your point? I cannot believe how childish some people can act on these forums. I mean seriously, nobody denied that today was ALSO the 30th Sunday in Ordinary time but ALSO Christ the King feast in parishes the celebrate the Extraordinary Form which the Pope has removed even more restrictions on it recently. Is that so hard to figure out?

In what way does that invalidate the fact that Pope Benedict allows the old calendar to be used?
Again, no one is denying that it is also the 30th Sunday in Ordinary Time.
You have been shown multiple times that you are wrong. Just admit it.
And why won’t you just answer the question - are you denying the authority of the Holy Father to allow the Feast of Christ the King to be celebrated today?

Nice link. I think I remember seeing it years ago. But, I apparently forgot all about it. I’m bookmarking it now.
Thanks for posting it…even if it was used out of context.

Today is the Feast of Christ the King in the ExtraOrdinary Rite, it is also the 30th Sunday in ordinary time for those of the Ordinary Rite.
The problem is some people want all things their way or they won’t play…

I honestly don’t understand what has people worked up here.
Let’s review the facts:
Oh, and one more thing: just because a Saint is not honored by the calendar, whether it be the old or new, it doesn’t mean that the people don’t care about him! That’s an absurd claim* and you know it*!
Let’s review the facts:
- The Holy Father has allowed the use of the old liturgical books, including the old calendar;
- The old calendar says that it is the Feast of Christ the King.
- The new calendar says that it is the 30th Sunday in Ordinary Time.
- For those who because of Pope Benedict XVI’s wisdom and generosity adhere to the old calendar, it is the Feast of Christ the King.
- For those who do not adhere to the old calendar but rather to the new one, it is the 30th Sunday in Ordinary time.
- For those who are not in the Latin Church, none of this matters (unless you enjoy getting a kick out of this
).

Today that calendar stands besides the one that countless saints used… and now because of the MP… future saints

There are many Saints who do not have a Mass on the calendar for the OF or EF. All of these Saints are honoured on Nov. 1, All Saints’ Day, which is the same on both calendars.

Wow. I’ve read through this thread and I must say it is edifying. Those who attend an extraordinary form mass and/or those who recognize the two legitimate calendars have consistently exhibited charity and civility. I might even say remarkable restraint.
Bravo! You are a credit to your King whose feast you lawfully celebrate.

two calendars, celebrate what you wish…hmm, seems the house is a bit divided against itself.

Deal with the fact that the latin rite now has two official calendars.
Denying this makes you no better than the SSPX in my opinion. There are some people on this thread who think they are more knowledgeable than the Pope.
Nevertheless, I will still wish you a happy Christ the King on November 25th.

But the Eastern Catholics have for centuries had different calendars from the Latin-Riters. No allegations from you that THEY are a source of disunity.
For that matter I do believe some of the EC don’t even celebrate Christmas and Easter on the same days that we do, let alone any other feast. And yet they are still part of our ONE (UNDIVIDED) Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church. You don’t call them anything else.
It’s called unity in diversity darl, and it’s always been a part of Catholicism.

I can really relate to the Eastern calendar comments, so allow me to make an addition.
If anything, having two calendars was a blessing. It allowed the house to have two different heritages. Instead of deciding whether we would go to St. Casimir’s or Sts. Cyril and Methodius on Christmas, having two calendars allowed us go to both parishes, because they were both on seperate days. If we could have not done this, I suspect the ethnic tension that was created by their marriage would have only increased an already unique family situation. It was truly a blessing to be able to celebrate two calendars.
Likewise, if I so wish, I can now celebrate the Feast of Christ the King twice! I celebrated the most beautiful service i’ve ever been to yesterday at my first Missa Solemnis and now I can celebrate it again.
Two calendars has not divided us, it has only enriched us! Like my own family, having two calendars allows those who attend both OF and EF parishes to relieve some tension created by using the same calendar.
Unless ofcourse, you feel like we should impose our calendar on the Easterners?
Having multiple calendars is not a hinderence. I grew up in a household where we have always celebrated two calendars because my mother is Ukrainian while my father is Polish. We would celebrate two Christmas’ and two Easters.

But the thing is… it wasn’t. Just hold back for a moment and pray, I know i’ve been somewhat uncivil and I apologize. When the day is done, we are all part of Rome.
