In what year did the catholic church allow catholics to eat meat on fridays?

Answer 1

back in the 60's- I actually remember this happening... Every Friday evening the entire family would head out and have fresh shrimp - crab or some other fish. I couldn't get enough shrimp cocktail- still can't for that matter. I will stick with the early 60's. If Sister Wicked Stick was still around I would be in big trouble for not having the exact date...

Answer 2

According to this source, Catholics are still supposed to abstain from meat on Fridays. It was in 1983 that new regulations were passed that resulted in many Catholics no longer abstaining from meat on Fridays.

Answer 3

For those of us who think that it was (and still IS) proper to abstain from meat on Fridays....we *never* changed the rule.

I am a Traditional Anglican, and this is still our rule. I still practice this...and I inform my parish every week that "Friday is a day of abstinence."

I know many traditional Roman Catholics who do the same.

Answer 4

it extremely is / grew to become into ridiculous that they banned ingesting meat on Fridays in the 1st place. no person is going to Hell using fact of what they do. They bypass to Hell using fact they don't settle for Jesus Christ as their LORD and Savior. Purgatory does not exist. God does not bypass away us in our non secular unreality so which you do not could desire to proceed to be naive. examine a Bible like the on a daily basis stroll Bible from conceal-to-conceal. once I examine it the 1st time in 1992 i grew to become into so surprised that the flaws that individuals think of are there are not THERE, mutually as the flaws that truly are there are omitted or rejected. Now I examine a Bible from conceal-to-conceal each 12 months and each 12 months I learn further and added. as well-being Born back, reading the Bible is the superb factor i've got ever finished.
