No baptism during Lent?

[likuske]

I’m interested to know why some dioceses have different rules when it comes to baptisms during lent. Some allow baptism during lent while others do not? Also, if one diocese observes a day of obligation while the other does not can you cross and who should you be accountable to? I mean if you don’t go to mass on a holy day of obligation you commit mortal sin but if another diocese close by doesn’t observe it who should you listen to? Why isn’t there more uniformity?
