Francis’ Triduum Schedule: Strange Lacuna

A interesting note on Francis's Holy Week schedule.

From Fr Z's Blog

From an astute reader…
QUAERITUR:
I’m sure you saw the announcement of pp. Francis’s Holy Week schedule. I want to say that in the past there was at least mention made that an announcement of “The Mass of the Lord’s Supper” would be forthcoming? There is no mention at all of that Mass this year. Given that this Mass has been for years removed from its typical solemnity, I don’t think I’m being alarmist in noting it’s complete omission in this year’s Holy Week Schedule?
Also, “Holy Thursday” is only referred to as “Thursday in Holy Week?” I note that it was called “Holy Thursday” last year:
Reading too much into the tea leaves?
Interesting.
Security reasons, perhaps?

Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
