“Given that Rorate Coeli and Shea are mad at Fr. Z, I think it proves Fr. Z knows what he is doing and he is right.”

"Let me be clear. Fr. Z is a shock jock, mostly. His readership is vast and touchy. They like to be provoked and react with speed and fury."

But Father, But Father: I thought it was the other way around, that in leap (bissextile) years, the day commonly known as Feb 29 was reckoned by the Church as Feb 28. And Feb 28 was reckoned as Feb 27, and so on back to Feb 24, which was reckoned as 48 hours long. Is that not true anymore?
No, but it is the Feast of St. David of Wales.
In the Byzantine Church, one of my favorite Saints, John Cassian, for some reason gets stuck with a feast day on February 29. In the Western Church, he is honored on the date of his death, July 23 – though only in the Diocese of Marseilles. Poor fellow!
I have to agree with you, David C, unless Father supports what he has stated from the new Martyrology. I have always believed that the people named by Father died on February 29, but were commemorated on the 27th or 28th.
There is some disagreement (on the Internet, anyway) about the day of memorial for St. Auguste Chapdelaine. Here is what can be found:
The Holy See’s biographical notes on the martyrs almost always gives a definite date of martyrdom. For St. Auguste, however, it says only that he died “in February”:

Opting for a February 27 memorial:

Opting for either February 25 or 26:
