They haven't gotten as much press because they are at the state level, but they are a problem. Alabama's law is especially troubling. <br /><br />http://www.catholicculture.org/news/headlines/index.cfm?storyid=11252<br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16426782100196550563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-964979022938948880.post-58238313756468117042013-06-25T15:45:42.519-04:002013-06-25T15:45:42.519-04:00I will correct it, but I just gotta figure out how...I will correct it, but I just gotta figure out how to correct it.Kevin Tierneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09772355448244959559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-964979022938948880.post-66825609888593477022013-06-25T15:45:22.619-04:002013-06-25T15:45:22.619-04:00Not just a faithful Catholic, but one with a lot o...Not just a faithful Catholic, but one with a lot of time on his hands who tends to stay on top of this stuff. :p<br /><br />The USCCB website on this is just insanely awful.

However, I don't think you're right about 4-No Penance. The Fortnight for Freedom is part of the year-long Call to Prayer, which includes fasting and abstinence from meat every Friday and monthly Eucharistic Adoration.
