Talk:Ordinary Time

Liturgical year
Does anyone fancy working on WikiProject Christian liturgical year? Gareth Hughes 10:59, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)


 * That Wikiproject appears to have been merged to WikiProject Holidays. Andrewa 11:14, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

Has anyone got an example of an actual year where there is only 33 weeks of Ordinary Time (not including Christ the King)? 81.105.60.35 18:53, 28 June 2007 (UTC)


 * According to http://divinity.library.vanderbilt.edu/lectionary/CPentecost/index.htm, there's no Proper 4 (10) this year (2007); Is that because there are only 33 Sundays of Ordinary Time?  Andrewa 11:17, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

Would it be necessary to create a page for each Sunday in ordinary time? --T.M.M. Dowd (talk) 19:57, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

Predominantly Catholic
Just chiming in here... is it me, or does this (and the article on the liturgical year, if not others) article seem to be incredibly Roman-Catholic-heavy? Can we balance this out with some terminology or facts from other Christian denominations? 216.164.160.153 (talk) 16:51, 30 May 2010 (UTC)


 * The article is extrememly Catholic, probably because the liturgical calender of Western Christianity is most heavily and strictly celebrated in the Catholic Church. I agree, however, since I know that Anglican parishes, as well as many Lutheran, Presbyterian, and Methodist parishes, also observe the liturgical calender and celebrate the different holy seasons. --Willthacheerleader18 (talk) 14:35, 14 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Well, is OT ever used outside of the Roman Catholic Church? The Protestant denominations I'm familiar with celebrate separate seasons of Epiphany and Pentecost.   There is an unreferenced claim that Anglicans begin Ordinary Time after Candlemas, which indeed seems to have something to do with the numbering of propers, but I've never heard this called OT.  Btw, the lead should make it clear that OT has only existed since Advent of 1969, as |this article and this one do.  Sparafucil (talk) 22:57, 14 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Feel free to add that to the opening of the article. --Willthacheerleader18 (talk) 03:53, 16 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, Anglicans, Lutherans, Methodists and many other Protestants observe it. I am Catholic, but my mother is Lutheran and during her service they say "such and such sunday during Ordinary time" as well as wearing Green vestiments (the color for ordinary time). I use to attend a United Methodist church with friends, and they also observed it and green vestiments were worn by their ministers during ordinary time, changing to red during Advent, purple for Lent, White for Penetecoast, etc. --Willthacheerleader18 (talk) 00:25, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

This is a complete and confusing mess, I cannot even make sense of it without bouncing back and forth between pages. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 20:59, 28 June 2013 (UTC)

original research
very useful article, but no references. eg the section Weeks in a year. The only references given simply describe the years. Does the author of this text really mean simply to say that "according to Fr Just SJ" a week is often dropped? --Richardson mcphillips (talk) 02:46, 25 February 2019 (UTC)
