year. WaPo<\/em> asks principals <\/font>Why Is Your School On This List?<\/font><\/a>, <\/font><\/p>\n

March 12, 2006). As an important public service, there is a sidebar <\/font><\/p>\n

piece entitled “<\/font>No Reader Left Behind<\/em>: A Guide to the Law<\/font><\/font><\/a>,” by Jay <\/font><\/p>\n

Matthews. Since I learned a lot (and have already forgotten a lot) from <\/font><\/p>\n

the column, I’m posting a link here for my future reference, and for the <\/font><\/p>\n

edification of other readers and lawyers who have no idea of the intri-<\/font><\/p>\n

cacies of this legislation (and the resultant regulations, state-by-state)<\/font><\/p>\n

faithful <\/font>this week, so that St. Patrick’s revelers can have <\/font>guiltless corned beef<\/font><\/a> on <\/font><\/p>\n

Friday, March 17, despite it being Lent. My local Sunday paper (The<\/em> [Schen-<\/font><\/p>\n

ectady, NY] Gazette<\/a><\/em>, March 12, 2006, $ub. only) has one theologist, Tom <\/font><\/p>\n

Dickens at Siena College, explaining: <\/font><\/p>\n

\n

“More theologically, Catholics believe God is not legalistic. <\/font><\/p>\n

God does not insist on strict obervance of rules strictly for <\/font><\/p>\n

the sake of observing rules. The point of fasting and doing <\/font><\/p>\n

without is to make room in our hearts for the love of God and <\/font><\/p>\n

the love of neighbor.” <\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"shamrocksSN\" <\/font><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Note, though, that not all bishops are being so flexible. According to The <\/font><\/p>\n

Saginaw [MI] News<\/font><\/a><\/em>, March 11, 2006: <\/font><\/p>\n

\n

“No such luck, however, in Brownsville, Texas. Bishop Raymundo <\/font><\/p>\n

Pena, who heads the diocese, which is 85 percent Hispanic, is <\/font><\/p>\n

sticking with the penitence. <\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

“In Portland, Maine, Bishop Richard J. Malone, has given the OK <\/font><\/p>\n

but is requiring parishioners to fast the Wednesday prior to the <\/font><\/p>\n

holiday if they consume meat, says diocese spokeswoman Sue <\/font><\/p>\n

Bernard, director of communications.”<\/font><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

As an ex-Catholic and born skeptic, I really don’t believe that a large per-<\/font><\/p>\n

centage of American Catholics would have skipped their corned beef, if <\/font><\/p>\n

the local bishop failed to offer his [not, or her] dispensation. I’m also a <\/font><\/p>\n

little bemused by the statement from Siena’s Dickens. After noting that <\/font><\/p>\n

abstaining from meat should be seen by Catholics as serving a larger <\/font><\/p>\n

end, Dickens says:<\/font><\/p>\n

\n

“It ought not be onerous; it should be a joy to<\/font> fulfill.”<\/font><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

In my experience, watching some very serious Catholics close-up, <\/font><\/p>\n

abstaining from meat on certain prescribed days has very often been <\/font><\/p>\n

done with much joy — resulting in some of the most savory fish, sea <\/font><\/p>\n

food and vegan meals I have ever shared.<\/font><\/p>\n

\n

B<\/em><\/strong>ack to envy. If I ever were<\/em> to get caught up <\/font><\/p>\n

in the <\/font>cardinal sin of envy, it would probably happen after <\/font><\/p>\n
