Yes, Limbo was BS.

Really? You have an authoritative proclamation regarding the disposition of the souls of unbaptized infants? Please, share it with us!!

So was the prohibition against eating meat on Friday

It was a discipline--not BS.

Do you think that the Church has the authority to impose/require disciplines, or not?

Are you really Sinkspur, MM?

As far as not eating meat on Friday, it is not about discipline as it is about penance and has been generally left up to local bishops.
