Ok, all Catholics.....if you're true, or used to be, or say ya wanna be again......

what choice of dinner on Fridays during Lent do you fix or order??? I’m NOT a practicing Catholic but I don’t eat meat on Fridays during Lent, but we had the best ribs and hash browns with the best salad bar on Wednesday night and we brought some home, and by gawd I want that for supper tomorrow night, and oh yeah, IT’S FRIDAY. What should I do???

No sense in waiting for a good meal to go over because of 1st century goat-herders or popes of the Roman Catholic Empire...er, church...

Even as a child, I could never understand the 'no meat' rule.
What's Fish... a vegetable????

(BTW, I'm a 'recovered' Catholic... "not afraid of burning in Hell".

There really are no limits anymore, according to our local bishop. I asked specifically because my precious spouse ain't! We do a lot of veggies and some meat, and if we can get it, fish and shellfish but no limits!
