Re: oh, *this* is surprising.

You left out a biggie: Pentecost. But that always falls on a Sunday, thanks to being ten days after Ascension. Pentacost, Peter & Paul and Corpus Christi are Big Days, but not actually Days of Obligation.

The Holy Days of Obligation are January 1 (Solemnity of the Blessed Mother), First Sunday after the first full moon after the Vernal Equinox (Easter), Forty days after Easter (Ascension of Our Lord), August 15 (Assumption of the Blessed Mother), November 1 (All Saints), December 8 (Immaculate Conception of Mary), and December 25 (Christmas).

*Reviews list*

Yeah. There was a rumor John Paul II was going to add Mary to the Trinity. (No, I have no idea what that would have made it: a quadrinity?) We really ought to suck it up and admit we're a bunch of goddess-worshiping pagans (said the woman whose confirmation saint is actually a Christianization of the Irish goddess of home, hearth, forge, and poetry).
