Basically just another account showing how fundamentally stupid and broken the US system is, and how dumb and bad the people running things are.

Yeah, most things aren't decided on the diocese level, and are instead decided at the national level.

I guess it's not super inconsistent within the living memory of the average hexbearian, but it's definitely inconsistent over the last thousand, or even 200 years.

That's true. I've never asked around or even googled to see how much it's changed in the last centuries where I live.

One of the things I remember from when I was much younger was when I thought that Thanksgiving was a holy day of obligation where I lived because I saw some reminders from some American centric people saying to go to Mass. I think my dad called a priest and the priest was like visible-disgust wtf do you mean why would we celebrate that.
