Why is Ordinary Time controversial among some Catholics? Dr Mike Foley examines the debate surrounding the Church's liturgical calendar and the significance of the green vestments associated with the season.
Some Catholics who attend the Novus Ordo Mass have expressed reservations about the term Ordinary Time. This discussion explores differing perspectives, including those of journalist K.E. Columbini, who has argued that the season should be abolished, and author and commentator George Weigel, who offers a contrasting view of its purpose and meaning.
If you're interested in the history and theology of the Catholic liturgical calendar, this video provides an overview of the arguments on both sides of the debate. It considers why Ordinary Time has become a point of discussion for some Catholics and addresses the broader question: in the context of the Christian life, can any time truly be considered "ordinary"?
