Odd, when I was a young Catholic and couldn’t eat meat on Friday, no non-Catholics joined in to make me feel better.

The public school lunch was fish on Friday in deference to Catholics. Back when I was little. I never heard one person complain and there were many Jews and non-Catholic Christians in my public schools.

I later converted to RC,but in our family we always followed the rule of no meat of Fridays during Lent, and I was a Methodist back then.
