Indeed, the SRC got on to that very quickly and reversed that particular decision about St. Joseph in a decree three weeks later - more on that in a subsequent post - however some of the other changes lasted a little longer before things were put back to how they were.
I see no reason for the highest class feasts (I usually extend the provisions of the 1983 Code of Canon Law to any double of the 1st class only in the older calendar) to be days of abstinence on Friday. But the rest... As you said, plus ça change...
The Saint Lawrence Press is dedicated to the preservation of the classical Roman Liturgy and seeks especially to raise awareness of the process of liturgical reform before the Second Vatican Council. To meet these aims the Saint Lawrence Press publishes an Ordo Recitandi, in Latin, modelled on those produced in Rome in the middle of the last century before the unpleasant,
unfortunate, and damaging, changes of the 1950's and early 1960's.
The Ordo Recitandi contains the necessary information enabling those who wish to celebrate the traditional Divine Office and Mass to identify those variable parts for every day in the Liturgical year.
To order a copy of the Ordo Recitandi please visit our homepage by following the link below.

St Joseph was observed on a Lenten Sunday? Strange.
