Most women activities within the Catholic Church was during the day and it did not include drinks.
Many Catholic farmers and wives didn’t have time to go out at night because they had families to tend to. They had to get up early the next day to work.
Many Catholics can’t handle a few drinks. And now many Catholics have turned to heroin, crack etc. St Patrick’s day has become a secular drinking holiday when it used to be a day of prayer and penance.
Choir, men’s groups or women’s groups involving laity or clergy involving booze and junk food many times have ended in adultery, fornification, lies, sex abuse, hypocrisy, gluttony and other sins. Same with these beef and beers and pocket book bingo. Too much partying and not enough praying and teaching the gospel to their children. Many children leave the Catholic faith because their parents are lukewarm hypocrites living an unholy life.
Maybe we all should be getting together to pray the Rosary and read the Douay Rheims Bible more often.
And look at our society today. Too much celebrating instead of making sacrifices for our Lord, Jesus Christ. The pseudo Catholic Church has abandoned God and His people.
