Paenitemini

Paenitemini

"Paenitemini" is a 1966 apostolic constitution by Pope Paul VI. In "Paenitemini" Paul changed the strictly regulated Catholic fasting requirements. He recommended that fasting be appropriate to the local economic situation, and that all Catholics voluntarily fast and abstain. He further recommended that fasting and abstinence be replaced with prayer and works of charity.
