Nothing Ordinary about this Time

George Weigel in Adoremus
There is nothing "ordinary" about redeemed time -- which, in the Church's liturgical year, once pivoted around the great feasts of Christmas, the Epiphany, Easter, and Pentecost. Now, we’re told that the time after Epiphany and Pentecost is "ordinary".

Add "ordinary time" to the list of words and phrases that obscure the Church's intended meaning: co-mediatrix; magisterium; preferential option for the poor.
