in the past, Catholics abstein from meat on fridays. But they
changed that a little now. It is more as a sgn of penance when u
stay away from meat, but its ironic that you go for a seafood
buffet instead. So i guess, the meat thing gradually lost its
meaning. So we're encouraged that if we eat meat on fridays, we do
ohter forms of absteinance like maybe stay away from TV or chatting
on msn (to me this is TOUGH!!) etc.
