GO FIGURE!?

In the Traditional calendar, St. Catherine of Siena, a Doctor of the Church, is honored on this day. She indeed to be venerated. I noticed, however, that in the 'New' calendar, it is reserved in honor of Pope St. Pius V. This is very interesting, since Vatican II and Pope Paul VI did exactly what this wonderful Pope condemned in the aftermath of the Council of Trent:

Pope St. Pius V said dogmatically and INFALLIBLY in Quo Primum, an infallible decree that was and is irrevocable, that:

"It shall be unlawful henceforth and forever throughout the Christian world to sing or read Masses according to any formula other than this Missal published by us...This present Constitution can never be revoked or modified, but shall forever remain valid and have force of Law...And if, nevertheless, anyone would ever dare attempt any action contrary to this Order of ours, handed down for all times, let him know that he has incurred the wrath of Almighty God, and the Blessed Apostles Peter and Paul." Pius V, (Quo Primum, 07-14-1570)

Go figure, Huh?

By the way, Pope Pius V will be honored in the Traditional calendar on May 5.
