If you’re going to research history, you must follow it through to the end. For much of Christian history, flesh meat was a delicacy for landowners and out of reach for most of the population. Fish was the one protein the poor could add to their primarily porridge based diet without spending a lot of money or endangering themselves by poaching.
The meals of the wealthy, conversely, consisted of course after course of cattle and game. In essence, you’re complaining that the church forced the rich to eat like poor people once a week.
