Gotta let those good Irish Catholics drink!

The Friday dispensation is specifically for meat.  It has nothing to do with drinking.[/quote]

The previous post mentioned dispensations when St Patrick's day fell on a Friday in Lent.[/quote]

Yes, and those are dispensations specifically from the rule to not eat meat on Fridays.  They have nothing to do with alcohol.

There is no prohibition on drinking alcohol in Lent.  If someone has given up alcohol and wants to make an exception for St Patrick’s Day they will figure it out for themselves.  Since giving something up for Lent, other than meat on Fridays, fasting on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday (note that these are partial fasts), and a few liturgical things in the Mass, is a personal choice and not a rule imposed by the church you would be asking yourself permission, and not asking for a dispensation.

It’s really sad when people come here and make up stuff about Catholics to strengthen stereotypes like that Irish Americans are drunkards.[/quote]
