It is perhaps unclear when the identification of the Saint Felix of 29 July with Antipope Felix II was abandoned. The identification is still found in the 1920 typical edition of the Roman Missal, with feasts updated to the late 1920sArchived 2020-03-01 at the Wayback Machine, but does not appear in the 1962 typical edition, which calls him simply a martyr (see General Roman Calendar of 1960). The 1952 Marietti printing of the Missal, which precedes 1954, the reference year for this article, also omits the numeral "II" and the word "Papae", however, the 1952 Pustet and the 1956 Typis Polyglottis Vaticanis printings of the Breviary still list Felix as a Pope and with the numeral II. The baselessness of the identification was recognized long before: in its 1909 article on Felix II the Catholic Encyclopedia referred to this identification as a "distortion of the true facts".
