Plus ça change
Elsewhere there have been several interesting discussions about how the feast of the Sacred Heart displaces the Nativity of St. John the Baptist this year.

Rubricarius,
I noticed that an antiphonary from 1891 had the feast of the Sacred Heart as a double of the 1st class already and it allowed it to be transferred. I presume this could happen only when it fell on 24 or 29 June, thus respecting the 2 ancient feasts (maybe also in case of a local patron, I don't know).
If the feast of Sacred Heart was transferred, to which day was it transferred? Was their any difference when it was a major double and when it was made a d1cl? Was there ever any rule, perhaps a local one, that it was to be transferred to a Friday?
