While religious celebrations honoring St. Patrick are affected, religious and secular authorities stressed this would not change secular festivities

Okay. . .

I read this, and all I could think was just HOW stupid the Catholic Church was being.

I mean sheesh!  Come on!

Make St. Patricks Day be the 14th instead.  That way EVERYONE can have a 4 day weekend in Ireland.
