a.      Sundays of The First-Class are:

The First Sunday of Advent and the four Sundays of Lent; Passion Sunday and Palm Sunday; Easter Sunday; Low Sunday; Pentecost. These ten Sundays give place to no other Feast.

b.      Sundays of The Second-Class are:

The Second, Third and Fourth Sundays of Advent; Septuagesima, Sexagesima, and Quinquagesima Sundays. These Sundays give place only to Doubles of The First-Class.

c.      Ordinary Sundays (every Sunday other than the Sundays, above), give place to Feasts of The First-Class and of The Second-Class, as also to Feasts of Our Lord. But they supercede all Greater-Doubles, Ordinary Doubles, and Semi-Doubles. These Feasts are then simplified, i.e., only a Commemoration is made of them at Mass and in The Office.
