As i can see it goes like this:
ReplyDeleteSt. Lawrence dominates, after which he is gradually but in the end completely pushed out by st. Joachim, which is in the end also erased.
A few minor typos not worth nitpicking because the larger point is well taken. I also agree with fixing S. Joachim to Aug 16 rather than have it be perpetually on a Sunday, and this is what the CTO has done. Yesterday, we observed the Octave Day of S. Lawrence with commemorations of the Sunday and the Octave of the Assumption, just as noted above for 1570. The problem with Divino Afflatus (inter multa alia) is that the Mass of the Octave Day of S. Lawrence exists only in theory (it's given in my 1952 Missale); I wonder if there is ever a case where it could be said in full given that either a Sunday, S. Hyacinth, or the day within the Assumption Octave always outranks it.

DeleteWouldn't the Octave Day of Saint Lawrence take precedence where he is a Patron and celebrated as a Dbl 1st Cl with common octave? The Octave Day would be a Double Major and take precedence over the Double feast of Hyacinth.
ReplyDeletePre-1911 St. Lawrence falling on a 'green' Sunday would take precedence as would its double-ranking Octave Day. The double (only) ranking Octave Day would also take precedence over a double feast. Post-1911 only a D1Cl or D2Cl (or a greater-double feast of the LORD) can take precedence over a 'green' Sunday.
DeleteWhen Saint Lawrence is a Patronal Feast the Octave Day as a Double Major would take precedence over Saint Hyacinth on a weekday would it not? Should this be true, it would be celebrated and does not exist only in theory.
ReplyDeleteYes, sorry if I misunderstood you earlier. If St. Lawrence is observed as D1Cl as the Titular etc then the Octave day would outrank St. Hyancinth.
