The entire Novus Ordo Calendar needs to be pitched, and the original Calendar only altered to include new saints.... but then I drone on...
For me, I just want May 8th back as the Apparition of St. Michael the Archangel....
Maeve,
I agree with you about the calendar. Unfortunately, not even bringing back the 1962 Calendar will suffice for the May 8th. Feast of St. Michael. That feast was excised from the Calendar as part of the 1960 calendar revisions. However, in the back of the Missal under the Masses for special places, the Mass for the Apparition of St. Michael is still there and can be said as an optional votive Mass of the 4th. class on May 8th.
I believe it is quite necessary sometime in the near future, although one step at a time, for the Church to officially revise the Traditional Calendar and publish a current year Tridentine Missal to reflect such. And this revision need not be limited to newer saints, but should include restoring some of that which was lost prior to 1962, while keeping the much simpler 1960 classification/ranking system (1st, 2nd, 3rd, & 4th. class) as opposed to the older system of “Double, Semi-double, Simple, etc.).
