    • Are the fasts of today, All Saints day, the Immaculate Conceptionon and Christmas, universal?

    I live in central America and I have no idea what the fasting rules of my country were.

To all, friends and foes alike, give that serious attention which does not misrepresent any opinion, does not distort any statement, does not mutilate any quotation. We need not fear to serve the cause of Christ less efficiently by putting on His spirit". (Vermeersch, 1913).

    • They are certainly universal observances in the Latin rite.  Whether they are holy days my change from place to place.

    • No, the fasts were not universal. In fact there was a dispensation from the observation of the fasts for territories that were under the Spanish empire due to the Bull of the Crusades.

    • I believe the fast is universal on the vigil of these feasts, in preparation for them.

    Yes. You don't fast on feast days.
