A Catholic paper says on the top of the front page that:
Is this a case of the bishop having announced a special rule for his diocese that trumps canon law? The article did not report it as coming specially from the bishop, so it may just be some reporter's word choice.
Thoughts?

This year, the Feast of the Immaculate Conception holy day of obligation falls on a Saturday. But your Saturday evening Mass will not fulfill your obligation.So far as I know, canon law does not say this (canon 1248). I ought to be able to use any legitimate mass on Saturday to fulfill a Saturday Holy Day. Of course on Sunday I must go to mass for Sunday obligation. No two for one deals.
