The year I wrote A Great & Glorious, but Debated, Assumption, that holy day of obligation for American Catholics was not a holy day of obligation, because feasts that are normally days of obligation are not obligatory when they fall on a Saturday or a Monday, apparently because someone thinks people shouldn’t have to go to church two days in a row. Which ignores the fact that obligations are only useful if they are, you know, obligatory, and not sometimes choices or options. Holy days are supposed to disrupt your regularly scheduled programming. When, oh when, will Christian leaders learn that you don’t make something more attractive by continually cutting the price.
