What the hell is "catharsolism"?
I crack a gut when people invent new words but this is one of the best ones.

Do you mean a Holy Day of Obligation? It is a feast day where a person or event is celebrated along with the entire Heavenly Host. We are at the Heavenly banquet with all the Saints and Jesus and The Blessed Mother Mary and of course The Father and Holy Spirit. We are obligated to go to this Mass because all the Faithful celebrate these feasts in Heaven. Sundays are all Holy Days of Obligations.

Well, ignoring your spelling.
A Holy Day is a day that is central to the mystery of being Christian, such as Christmas.
The Catholic Church reads the entire bible in Church over a defined period of time. The days are the days those passages will be read in the Church. For example, the Christmas readings occur on December 25th. The Catholic Church considers these so important to hear, that it calls all the faithful to skip whatever they are doing to come hear these passages and to celebrate the mystery associated with it. If you went to a Catholic Church every day for two years or all Sundays for three years you would hear the entire bible, but some passages are so important they are read annually.

Assuming its Roman Catholic that you mean... Catholics do not have holidays...they have holy days of obligation. Governments declare holidays.

the word holiday comes from Holy-day. Their are many Holy days in the year for Catholics.
