Keukasmallies Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 The Catholic Bishop in Rochester, NY has decreed that it's OK to eat meat on the Friday of Saint Patrick's day. This dispensation from the normal Lenten expectation mirrors many of NASCAR's spur of the moment rule changes as well as season-by-season adjustments. NASCAR appears to be making the changes as it chases a remedy for the dwindling audiences at many race tracks; is the church adopting this tactic for the same reason?

They always gave "special dispensation" when St.Paddy's Day fell on Fridays. Even in old days. Years ago... My Grandfather's deer hunting partner was the Monsignor from church... This was pre-Vatican II days, when every Friday was "meatless." Well it's a Friday, they are out at dinner and Monsignor orders a steak! On Friday! My Grandfather says: "You can't do that!" Monsignor says: "Yes I can..." LoL. My Grandfather says: "I will have what Monsignor is having!" They both enjoy their meal. :-) They will do it on Feast of St.Joseph's Day (w/the Italians too) too. Again... Don't read too much into it.

Some just happen to be Shoeless Joe & others Tom Brady. Be thankful you are given the Tom Brady treatment! ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
