see ya'll after Easter.

You can come by on Sundays. Thy don't count as part of the whole 40 days thing!

I'm no longer Catholic but I think I may do the same. I'm exhausted with keeping up with realignment and tv negotiations. I've come to accept the worst already. :/

Not in the strict Irish Catholic household in which I grew up. There, Lent was Lent no matter which day of the week it was and we NEVER ate meet on Fridays, ever. My mother, Maureen O'Sullivan, still refuses to eat meet on Wednesdays or Fridays.

BTW, for everyone's benefit, I am thinking about joining Telecoog on this one. It's just not nearly as informative as it once was and has become way too partisan and frankly, boring. All of the phony inside sources and hypothetical mathematical equations based on said sources' myriad scoops just get old after a while. It feels like I'm watching professional wrestling and that doesn't appeal to me in the least.

I have been told that the dispensation for US Catholics to be able to eat meat on Fridays throughout the year except during Lent requires that each Friday during the year some other sacrifice is made in place of not eating meat, a detail many Catholics are unaware of.

In addition, I have been told that it is permissable to eat meat on the Feast of St. Jospeh during Lent if it falls on a Friday, since a feast supercedes the Lenten penance.

Houston will have gone through 4 different conferences by then.

Well, regardless of how strict - mine was quite strict as well - the 40 days of Lent does not now nor never did include the Sundays between Ash Wednesday and Easter Sunday. That said, in our household, as well as yours I imagine, Sunday was treated pretty much like a Friday....no meat, light (very) meals and no fun of any sort could be had.
