No Abstinence For Catholics.

For the first time in the history of the
Catholic Church members of that demon.
ination will be permitted to eat meat
during an entire week. Owing to a
special dispensation of Pope Plus X, made
just before his death, New Years Day,
when it falls on Friday, is not to be re-
garded as day of abstinence.
This dspensation also lifted the ban on
the eating of meat on Friday when
Christmas falls on that day, but on the
day before Christmas no meat can be
eaten. The day before New Year is not
one of abstinence and therefore it will
be unnecessary for Ca thoics to refrain
from the use of meat any day during this
week. This is the first time since the
dlspensation that New Year has fallen
on Friday.
