Catholics don’t consider lobsters as meat?

Wow, they really need a new Pope to straighten things out!

I’m an Old Testament guy, but disagree about the part where it says don’t eat lobster.

As a Catholic, that baffles me too. But ... I think the reasoning is that it's from the ocean. Crustaceans and fish are permitted meals on Fridays during Lent. As for the rest of the year, the "no meat on Fridays" as a sacrifice was lifted years ago as long as a Catholic does some other sort of sacrificial abstinence.
