Pe...Another problem with the anecdote is the date.<br /><br />Pentecost 1970 fell on 17 May. The following day in the Novus Ordo calendar = St. John I, PM. Admittedly, St. John is optional in the General Roman Calendar. I don't know the status of the proper calendar for the Diocese of Rome at that time...the new calendar was not promulgated for Rome until 1973 (St. John an option + St. Felix of Cantalice as an option on the same day). If the anecdote were true, someone decided to use the feria and not the martyr pope. Possible, but circumstantially not supportive of the anecdote's veracity either - rather the contrary.<br /><br />-Dr. Lee FratantuonoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
