Blue is NOT an approved liturgical color.....period.

My understanding is that its use is common in the Mozarabic Rite for Feasts of Our Lady, and that this was extended to certain Latin Rite Spanish-derived areas like Mexico. But it certainly isn't in the U.S.

The use of the color Blue diring Advent (and also Lent)is a symbol of dissent.

Yep. I love how these people are all for protecting other people's traditions, but when it comes to the traditional Latin-Rite violet and rose Advent..no, we can't do THAT.

You are correct about the past historical usage of the color - no argument there! But, as you hinted at, blue is not being used as any legitimate throwback to a particular origen.

The phoney excuse of a primitive origen is being used as a cover for dissent.....to confound any legitimate argument of a layman, by dissident clergy. As to the Sarum rite......I know what you refer to, and I dont think it is actually in any regular use.
