So why did we have to get rid of this? What ‘improvement’ did it make? Are we really better off somehow without it?

Thanks for posting.

Septuagesima: The Forgotten Season Before Lent — Why the Christian Life Is a Battle

Before Lent begins, the Church enters a forgotten season.
Its name is Septuagesima — a time of exile, seriousness, and preparation for spiritual combat.

In the traditional Catholic calendar, Septuagesima marks a decisive turning point. The joyful language of the liturgy fades. The Alleluia disappears. The Church lowers her voice to remind the soul of a hard but merciful truth: this world is not our home, and salvation is not automatic.

Drawing from the traditional catechesis of Rev. Leonard Goffine and the 1962 Roman Missal, this video explains:

Why the Church prepares the soul before Lent
How the Epistle and Gospel teach perseverance, discipline, and humility
Why the Christian life is described by Scripture as a race and a battle
How Septuagesima restores the memory of the Fall, exile, and the need for grace
Why seriousness, sobriety, and perseverance are necessary for salvation

This is not a season of despair — but of truth.
Not a rejection of joy — but a preparation for it.

“Run so as to obtain.” (1 Corinthians 9:24)

If Septuagesima has been forgotten, its message has not lost its urgency.
