10. Good Friday is the only day when there is no Mass.
Fri Apr 3, 2026, 07:36 PM
Apr 3

From the end of Holy Thursday's Mass to Paschal Vigil Mass (Saturday night) there is no Mass, or it is said that the Thursday Mass does not end until the Easter Vigil Mass.

There can be a few different services on Friday, including the "Mass" of the pre-sanctified Hosts, but no actual Mass. But yeah, the crazy Protestants like Hegseth hates Catholics, moreso than atheists. And of course, this also is pettiness towards Pope Leo, and an insult to Catholics; but hey, that is part of the programme.

I see someone mentioned the present vice-president. His "Catholicism" is very suspect, and if it is a choice about being a repuke or a Christian, it will always be as a repuke rebuking Catholic Christianity.
