breviary.net follows the Breviary instuctions from Divino Afflatu of Pope St. Pius X. (Thus I would think it's the old calendar)

I think July 11 is significant because it was when we celebrated Benedict's being the Father of Western monasticism.

e.g.

from [i]Sacramentum Caritatis[/i], introduction/#3:

[quote]The Eleventh Ordinary General Assembly of the Synod of Bishops, held from 2-23 October 2005 in the Vatican, gratefully acknowledged the guidance of the Holy Spirit in this rich history. In a particular way, the Synod Fathers acknowledged and reaffirmed the beneficial influence on the Church's life of the liturgical renewal which began with the Second Vatican Ecumenical Council. The Synod of Bishops was able to evaluate the reception of the renewal in the years following the Council. There were many expressions of appreciation. [b]The difficulties and even the occasional abuses which were noted, it was affirmed, cannot overshadow the benefits and the validity of the liturgical renewal, [size=3]whose riches are yet to be fully explored[/size]. Concretely, the changes which the Council called for need to be understood within the overall unity of the historical development of the rite itself, without the introduction of artificial discontinuities.[/b][/quote] [emphasis added] [url="http://www.vatican.va/holy_father/benedict_xvi/apost_exhortations/documents/hf_ben-xvi_exh_20070222_sacramentum-caritatis_en.html"]http://www.vatican.va/holy_father/benedict...ritatis_en.html[/url]

the frame of mind claiming that the Pope's act of restoring a universal indult is an act against the Novus Ordo is inherently contrary to what Benedict is actually trying to do. It is obvious that Benedict is looking even now towards the future of the Roman Rite Church which will eventually pray one Mass universally, and that will be the New Mass, fully and respectfully transitioned from the Tridentine.
