Oh no! St. Patrick's Day is on a Friday...

As if I needed any more reasons to be skeptical of the true intentions of the Catholic Church on this planet. Catholics across the country are freaking out because St. Patrick's Day falls on a Friday during lent. The big dilemma is that eating corned-beef this St. Patrick's Day could land you in hell if your local bishop hasn't decided to lift the ban. Do we live in Medieval Times? I can't believe the Associated Press even wrote an article on this.
