When St. Patrick's Day falls on a Friday the Church in many places usually removes the obligation to abstain from meat for that day.

I find the Church's practices on fasting and abstinence during lent to be totally absurd. Did you know that eating meat on a Friday in Lent or not fasting on Good Friday or Ash Wednesday is a mortal sin that will by itself send you to Hell under Catholic teaching? Imagine what that conversation in Hell might be like:

Damned Soul 1: "So What are you in for?"
Damned Soul 2: "Rape and murder primarily, you?"
Damned Soul 1: "Ate a ham sandwich on a Friday in Lent."
