You're acting like I was insulting your wife. A practice which I shun. I merely said (as I thought you had agreed) that she did not understand Catholic teaching on the subject (which is the Church's fault and not hers). "Unrefined" was, I thought, a way to say that she had in incomplete understanding of the idea behind meatless Fridays. Please don't go on about how wonderful your wife is by comparison to me - I am not in doubt - although "my wife could beat up your wife nanny nanny boo boo" :-)
I infer from your response that you agree that my example situation would be an occasion of sin, but disagree that it parallels the RCC position. If so, I think I made my point - you agree it is objectively sinful, but that you don't go to hell for it. The disagreement (in your somewhat heated response) seems to be the Church's authority to call a fast. I'm afraid we must disagree there. I place myself under the Church's authority by remaining a Catholic, so yes, the fast is by my own decision (and that of every Catholic).
To call a fast for a hundred years, please, don't call me, I'll call you. Lol
