necessary sentence?[edit]

Is the following sentence really necessary to the article?: "As such, it is one of the higher-ranking holy days during the ecclesiastical year, but is not a holy day of obligation in most countries." It seems a bit un-necessary. I'm not sure why someone would assume that it is an HDO just because it is a solemnity...we should only mention the HDO business if a celebration is one. And the explanation of 'solemnity' can be found out easily through its wikilink. Carl.bunderson (talk) 03:57, 29 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have reworded this sentence to make it more specific.
Similarly in the sentence "The solemnity of Saint Peter and Saint Paul is celebrated in the season of solemnity." I have been a Catholic priest for 35 years and have never heard the expression "season of solemnity" used in this way. As a matter of fact, June 29 always falls in what is called Ordinary Time, not a "season of solemnity" it all. This sentence, likewise, should be deleted.

Yeah, I agree. That sentence makes no sense. I've removed. And btw, happy year for priests, Father! carl bunderson (talk) (contributions) 22:04, 29 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Redirects for Discussion[edit]

If you type into the box on the left, and put in St. Paul's Day, you get redirected here. However, I have always understood St. Paul's Day to be January 25, as mentioned in Patricia Morrell's "Festivals and Customs". Any one care to mention this at Wikipedia: Redirects for Discussion?

It says on Conversion_of_Paul_the_Apostle that the Feast of the Conversion of Saint Paul the Apostle is a feast celebrated during the liturgical year on January 25, so should we not discuss that typing in St. Paul's Day gets redirected here? ACEOREVIVED (talk) 11:25, 25 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delighted to say that this has now gone to Wikipedia: Redirects for discussion. ACEOREVIVED (talk) 15:43, 26 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

After spending quite a long time at Wikipedia: Redirects for discussion, this matter now appears to have been solved. Typing in "St. Paul's Day" still takes us to this page, but at last this page has a tag which says "Not to be confused with Feast_of_the_Conversion_of_Saint_Paul, which does take us to the January 25 date. Many thanks to all the kind Wikipedians who contributed to the discussion, and especially User: Salix Alba, who I believe added the tag. ACEOREVIVED (talk) 16:55, 21 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Catholic Church[edit]

  1. Byzantine Rite covers both Eastern Orthodox and Eastern Catholic traditions.
  2. This feast is celebrated in all 24 Catholic Churches, not just the Latin Church. 72.201.104.140 (talk) 00:05, 1 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
