Butt out. I see that your head is so wooly, it’s easy to pull it over your eyes.
The practice of not eating meat on Fridays is a discipline - a reminder that Our Lord died on Friday. Since He died for us, we should at least commemorate it in some significant fashion. I don’t know how many Catholics adhere to this pracitce, but I do according to Church dictates. I do not give a s**t about Temple Recommends - you know that - however, I do pay attention to the practices of the Church going back 2000 years to the Acts of the Apostles and the people who knew Jesus Incarnate.
Ah, but there are some who DO give a, ahem, care.
They are the ones who want to know why YOUR church removed much of the plain and precious things from the original manuscripts.
