the church is, after all, an organization of Christians and as such, certainly has a right to make institutional rules.....no skimpy garb in church, no bad language, moments of silence, holy days of obligation, no meat on FRIDAY....what's the big deal.

Because God said don't do it...It a sign of an apostate religion...

1Ti 4:1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;

1Ti 4:3 Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.

What do you need, a flashing, neon billboard???

NOW you've upset our Mormon FRiends; who must be DREADING the onset of WARM weather!

D&C 89:12-13

12 Yea, flesh also of beasts and of the fowls of the air, I, the Lord, have ordained for the use of man with thanksgiving; nevertheless they are to be used sparingly;
13 And it is pleasing unto me that they should not be used, only in times of winter, or of cold, or famine.

[Elsie]

13 And it is pleasing unto me that they should not be used, only in times of winter, or of cold, or famine.

And yet...

Catholics eat meat....we lve it, pork included (remember that the bible mentions not eating pork)....so when the church asks us to refrain from eating meat on ne day, it becomes a little penance that we endure to honor God by giving up something we like.....We forbid no one to marry except those of the same sex, and those who are already married....
