SEPTUAGESIMA. The seventieth day before Easter, and the third Sunday before Lent. Terminology not used in the Latin Rite since the revision of the liturgy after the Second Vatican Council.
N.B. Father is wrong. It never ceased being used by those who refused to accept the deforms of Vatican II and is now used in the Anglican Ordinariate of the Latin Rite as well.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. 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.
