CANCELS FASTING LAW.
Pope Exempts Holidays of Obligation
From Old Rule


The last number Oh The Acts OF
the Apostolic See" (Acta Apostolicae
| Sedis) promulgated a decree of unus-
ual interest To Catholics. Hitherto &C.
clesiastical discipline has been that
Christmas was the only feast which,
did it fall on Friday, carried with it
permission to eat meat. The new de-
cree gives TO every holiday OF obliga-
ton the same privilege and henceforth
no law of fasting or of abstinence
maintains on feast of obligation.
Should a Friday or day Of penance
coincide with one of the feast days
the latter rules and meat and the full
number Of meals may be eaten.
In the SAME decree the number Of
holidays is set forth. Different coun-
tries have been left more or less to
themselves i'm the selection of days of
obligation and each has been guided
by the devotion and piety of its peo-
pie. Thus i'm Ireland St. Patricks day
always has been a day when all must
hear mass and abstain from all un-
necessary work the same in Scotland
with the feast of st. Andrew and in
the United States with the feast of
the Assumption, Aug. 10. OF late
years this has given rise to some con-
fusion even within the ranks of the
faithful. Taking into consideration
therefore "the changed conditions of
the times and civil society" the pope
concludes that the number of feasts
of precept" should be diminished. The
facility with which distances are
spanned nowadays, whereby men go
from one country to another in an in
credibly short time, makes 1t advisable
to have more uniform observance.
Increased commerce. also, and the
additional demands of business seem
to suffer loss from the delays caused
by frequent feast days. Finally the
daily increasing cost of the necessities
of life makes it additionally desirable
that the servile work of those who
too often interrupted" In view of
these conditions therefore the new de-
cree cnacts that the ecclesiastical pre-
cept Of hearing mass and abstaining
from servilc work remains in force only
on the following days: Each and every
Sunday of the year; the feasts of the
Nativity (Christmas)' the Circumci-
slon) Jan. /, the Epiphany CIittle
