Catholic Church Bans St. Patrick Day Celebrations. WWSPD?

Leaping leprechauns! What's this world coming to? Not to mention what would St. Paddy do!

Don't do it, don't even mention it, or you know what.... If you do, choose your layer of h.e. double hockey sticks (snakes included)! Yes, reported in Omaha World Herald, "the Archdiocese of Omaha has instructed churches not to hold Masses in St. Patrick's honor." No special prayers or services in honor of the Irish saint on his holy day due to the fact that his 'Saints day' falls during the Roman Catholic holy week before Easter Sunday. How absurd is what I am thinking. Isn't there room for everyone in the Holy Week tent?

Fortunately the last line of the news story sums up what most of us will be thinking on that day, "To be honest, I'm more worried about the cold weather than Holy Week."
