Father Z’s annual rant about Ascension Thursday now being on a Sunday in some locations:
“The liturgical celebration of
Ascension by the Latin Church has become a little confused in recent years.
In the post-Conciliar calendar
used with the Novus Ordo editions of the Missale Romanum for this coming
Sunday we ought - in my opinion – to be observing the 7th Sunday of
Easter.
Ascension Thursday should fall, appropriately, on Thursday.
However, by the same logical that dislocated Epiphany (“Twelfth
Night”) from its proper place twelve days, appropriately, after Christmas,
some years ago the Holy See allowed bishops to transfer the celebration of
Ascension Thursday to the following Sunday.
I call this liturgical caper
“Ascension Thursday Sunday”.”
