Why aren’t we supposed to eat meat on Friday’s during Lent?
The funniest stories of dispensations occured a few years Ago when St. Patrick’s Day fell on a Friday in Lent and there were all these dispensations being given out to eat meat. With many of them however, the dispensation was only valid if you performed certain indulgences AND only in your own diocese. So if you were in a diocese in Iowa and went to the St. Patricks Day parade in NYC, the dispensation was null and void. It was all rather funny and absurd.
Awww 🙁 I guess I’ll be going to get my own chicken! That’s ok though, I’ll save money because I won’t have to tip her for delivery!
Papal dispensation, Dave.
Well, ok- anointed.
Some other day, Snappy. We promise.

MM, if you get her to go out, try to convince her to swing by my place to drop off three wings!!
