Why no comm. of the Octave of St John the Baptist ?
On Doubles of the First and Second Class days within Common Octaves are not commemorated.
So in Québec (or in a church dedicated to him), we would still commemorate SJB?
Geoff,
If it is, locally, a privileged Octave then yes. Otherwise no.
According to the Divino afflatu rubrics, isn't the octave of a patronal still a common octave? Were there any privileged octaves not of Our Lord?
SS Peter & Paul have a privileged Octave in Rome. There may be other cases where local Octaves have the same status but I don't know of any more.
