That's certainly not true in general terms. However, I have seen it
asserted in print that the Spaniards got a blanket dispensation to eat
lard during Lent as part of the Bull of the Crusade (Bullæ Sacræ
Cruciatæ Dilucidatio)/./ In fact, that's only true in the sense that
that Bull grants the faithful of the Spanish dominions got a
dispensation to eat *meat* during most of Lent and most fast days.
