; data/of/amendments/005-mary-magdalene-rank.sexp -- RANK CHANGE: St Mary ; Magdalene, memoria -> festum. ; ; Decree: "Sanctae Mariae Magdalenae", Congregation for Divine Worship and ; the Discipline of the Sacraments, 3 June 2016, Prot. n. 708/2015. Signed ; Robertus Card. Sarah (Praefectus) alone. ; Published: AAS 108 (2016), 798-799. ; ; What it does: the day and colour are unchanged (22 July, white); only the ; grade changes. Verified directly against the decree's own operative ; sentence (docs/research/of/aas-monthly/2016_luglio.pdf, line 3344-3345 of ; the extracted transcript): "...celebrationem Sanctae Mariae Magdalenae ; Calendario Romano generali posthac inscribendam esse gradu festi loco ; memoriae, sicut nunc habetur" -- "the celebration of St Mary Magdalene is ; henceforth to be inscribed in the General Roman Calendar with the rank of ; FEAST IN PLACE OF MEMORIAL, as it now stands." The decree also adds a ; proper Preface to the Missal; colitur's calendar data carries no Preface ; field, so that half of the decree has no representation here. ; ; This is an EDIT, not an Add: the 2002 Missal already carries the entry ; (data/of/calendar-2002.sexp's own "mary-magdalene", 22 July, ; Memoria_obligatoria -- Task 1's own lectio cross-check flagged exactly ; this rank disagreement and deliberately left it for this task). Editing ; in place, rather than Suppress+Add under a new slug, keeps the same ; entity's identity stable across the amendment for anything that may come ; to reference it by slug (a future lectionary, an overlay, a template). ; ; Precedence_of interaction (checked, not merely assumed): Festum and ; Memoria_obligatoria are both NON-Sollemnitas ranks, so this edit does not ; cross the Sollemnitas boundary -- Precedence_of.disposition's losing-case ; answer for this candidate stays Omit either way (only a losing Sollemnitas ; is ever Transferred). Precedence_of.band does move this candidate from ; Tabula III.10 (band 100) to Tabula II.7 (band 70) -- a real precedence ; strengthening on paper, but with ZERO effect on which day is OBSERVED ; under the shipped universal calendar: 22 July carries no other ; universal-calendar entry (verified -- grep of calendar-2002.sexp finds ; exactly one (month 7) (day 22) block), so Mary Magdalene already won that ; date outright at band 100 and continues to at band 70; an ordinary per ; annum Sunday still outranks her either way (band 60 < 70 < 100 -- a ; Festum of a SAINT, Tabula II.7, is not a Festum OF THE LORD, Tabula II.5 ; band 50, the only Festum grade that would beat a Sunday). The change ; becomes live only if a future PROPER (diocesan/religious) overlay adds a ; band-80-or-lower competitor to 22 July, or if a future obligatory ; memorial elsewhere ties her old band-100 slot -- neither exists in the ; shipped data today.
