CWN Editor's Note: Bishop James Checchio of Metuchen, New Jersey, has led a group of American bishops in dispensing the faithful from the obligation to abstain from meat on Fridays during Lent, because of the “many other sacrifices that we are suddenly experiencing” during the CO19 epidemic. The dispensation does not apply to Good Friday.
