I never knew the reason for “fish on Fridays” among Catholics. Interesting; thank you.

Our public school had fish on Fridays (60s/70s) and it was not even a predominant Catholic town. In fact, the Catholic church was in the next town 10 miles away in a different district.

The real reason for ‘’meatless’’Fridays for Catholics is to commemorate Phillip the Second driving the Moors(muslims) out of Spain(Andalusia) Friday being the day the worthless Saracen bastards go to the mosque.
