Who knew that I would like such geeky canon speak? Keep up the great variety guys!
Come on Ed, it's The Archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis, not Minneapolis and Saint Paul.
What I love is bishops will happily dispense from abstinence on St. Patrick’s Day (which is not a solemnity here in the States, unless your parish is named St. Patrick’s) when it lands on a Friday in Lent, so people can go out and get drunk (because that’s how we celebrate St. Patrick’s Day in the States), but they won’t dispense for the Vigil of an actual Solemnity (St. Joseph/Annunciation) when it lands on a Friday in Lent??? How does that make any sense???
Minor point - St. Patrick is one of two diocesan patrons for my hometown Diocese of Sacramento (along with Nuestra Senora de Guadalupe), and as such it is an actual solemnity for us, hence the dispensation on Fridays of Lent.
