Corned Beef for Everyone!

Oh, thank God. Or, the Archbishop.

Catholics don't eat meat on Fridays during Lent. This year, March 17th falls on a Friday, which is St. Patrick's Day, for those non-Celts. Turns out, there are enough Irishmen mourning the possible lack of corned beef on Friday that a number of the Archbishops have granted an indult for the day. We can eat our corned beef, secure in the knowledge that we're OK with God and the Church.
