Why and how does the Universal Church celebrate Ascension Thursday on Sunday? Why only in some places? Is Good Friday to be moved for secular reasons also?

Bishop Neuman this morning said that it was in order for a more full celebration to take place. What they didn't realize was how the people would react - and for the most part the people don't really like it.

When did this happen? When I was growing up it was always a separate Holy Day of Obligation.
