Bring back the old calendar! I have never adjusted to the new "moveable feast" Epiphany - which is done only in the US, incidentally. Also, I think the Baptism of Christ should have been kept on the 13th.

I wish the Pope would turn his attention to the fact that the US, courtesy of the USCCB, has set up its own rite and its own calendar.

I didn't know that -- I thought the changes were of the Church. So am I justified in continuing to celebrate St. Francis de Sales' day on January 29, instead of observing it on the 24th, which doesn't feel right? (I went to a grammar school named for St. Francis de Sales, so we got it off -- I'll always think of it as on the 29th!)
