medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture Re: [M-R] Saints of the Day 15.August
Dear Francis
 
DzS numbers refer to Denzinger-Schoenmetzer, Enchiridion Symbolorum, a compendium of dogmatic definitions and related texts widely used as a teaching and reference work.  The original Denzinger-Schoenmetzer was published in 1962 (updating the earlier Denzinger Enchiridion) and has been revised subsequently.
 
Yours
Peter McDonald

medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture BOTH Ineffabilis Deus AND Munificentissimus Deus do exist :

Ineffabilis was about the Immaculate Conception dogma,  Dec. 8, 1854.
(DzS 2803), pope Pius IX.
Munificentissimus was about the Assumption dogma, Nov. 1, 1950.
(DzS 3903), pope Pius XII.
One should mention the Vatican II confirmation of the Imm. Conc. dogma  in  Lumen Gentium,
(n° 56, n° 59), pope John XXIII.

I do not know what the DzS numbers mean, but I suppose they refer to a Vaticanese library department shelf number...

See also pope Pius IX, allowing the nomination of Mary as saint patron of the United States of America in 1846.
See also pope Sixtus IV's bull The Imm. Conc., 1483.
I found these informations in Marie dans le dessein de Dieu et la communion des saints, by the "Groupe des Dombes", Bayard Centurion, Paris, 1997.

So, Imm. Conc. day (Mary's birthday) is Sept. 8 , and Ass. day (Mary's deathday) is Aug. 15 .

In Elx, Catalunya, Nov. 1 is now the anniversary of the Assumption dogma declaration by Pius XII. Consequently, the Elxans (or whatever you call them, for example "ilicitanos", which is the official castilian denomination) have two Assumption Days and no All Saints Day in their local christian calendar. Isn't that weird ?
