Question: When I was growing up (50's and early 60's), most Catholics that I knew abstained from meat during all of Lent, Sundays included.
Now it seems that most Catholics I know, tell me that was never the practice, that Sunday was always a day of feasting, never fasting. Most of these Catholics grew up during the late 60's to 70's.
Have Lenten Practices changed? I'm a Convert, but it seems more lax now than what I recall from the practices of Catholics I knew in my youth.
