[A.A. Cunningham]

Sean Vanity is a CINO. Poorly catechized as a child and he has done little to improve on that deficient education. Little does he realize, and neither did his colleague Bill Bennett, that Catholics are required to abstain from eating meat on all Friday's throughout the year; unless a solemnity falls on a Friday, not just the Friday's of lent.

Very true.

[Suzy Quzy]

That's not true.

Catholics are required to abstain from eating meat on all Friday's [sic] throughout the year

Not exactly. Catholics are required to do some form of penance on Fridays. If one doesn't want to abstain from meat, then some other form or penance may be substituted. This has been popularly misconstrued or intentionally misunderstood by many to mean that penance on Friday is no longer required.
