A Roman Holiday is when someone decides to take a break from their usual lifestyle as a Roman Catholic to see what they have been missing out on. Common reasons for taking such a holiday would be so the person could practice promiscuity, bisexuality, homosexuality, use contraception without judgement, partake in orgies, sex rites and rituals, goddess worship, experiment with illegal drugs and so forth. Similar to the Amish idea of the 'devils playground'.
I'm taking a Roman Holiday because I'm sick of being judged by all those conservative Catholics who are squares.

Get the Roman Holiday mug.It doesn't mean running riot, lying, cheating, stealing, & philandering (etc.) without compunction. It does mean relaxing, enjoying the moment, stringing enjoyable moments together when you can, "chilling." Taking a moral holiday means momentarily lightening up and taking it easy, not carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders, not being hopelessly depressed by depressing realities.
"The universe is a system of which the individual members may relax their anxieties occasionally, in which the don’t-care mood is also right for men, and moral holidays in order... I fully believe in the legitimacy of taking moral holidays." William James

A walk in the park when you COULD be working and feeling bad is a moral holiday.
