Thanks, patent
I was just having some fun with the posters to this thread. It brought back memories from elementary school (pre Vatican II) when we abstained on Fridays. The kids in my class used to take full advantage of the pastor, when he would drop in for a religion class.
"But, Fadah (heave Brookly accent), what if we are invited to someone's house for dinner and they serve us something that looks like fish but is really meat ... and we ate it ... is that a sin?"
You know what? I actually miss those days.
