An interesting historical note.? Monastics generally report to the head of their order and he/she directly to the Vatican.? Not that the Irish were great beer?
drinkers anyway (perhaps if nothing better was available?), but they were great consumers of poteen (NOT a social beverage and highly addictive), to their?
and their families' detriment, hence the concern of many of their clergy.??
Granted, a generalization from someone with not a drop of Irish blood in his veins, so in no way intended as ethnic criticism.

Here in Minnesota, there was a major dust up over the consumption of beer between Archbishop Ireland of the Diocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis who was the head of the Catholic temperance movement in the US and the German Benedictine monks at
St. John's Abbey in Collegeville.? ? The monks viewed temperance as an Irish and not an alcohol problem and said so.? Fortunately, under canon law they?were not subject to diocesan?authority.? ?
