Deeds Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 Abstinence from meat on the Fridays of Lent isn't binding in the UK. Catholics are supposed to abstain from meat on Fridays throughout the year, or make some other sacrifice if the bishops of their country have obtained permission for this. The US bishops say that one can substitute some other sacrifice for giving up meat on Fridays not in Lent. However, to the best of my knowledge, the UK bishops just say that some other sacrifice can be substituted for meat all year round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MichaelFilo Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 I do believe those obligations only fall to the Roman Rite. I maybe wrong here, but I don't think I'm under any obligatoin, being from an Eastern right. Any clarification? God bless, Mikey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walking to Emmaus Posted February 27, 2005 Share Posted February 27, 2005 I was just wondering whether the lenten fast is observed on Sundays. I have always been taught that it is not, because it is the day of the Lord's Resurrection so it should be a day of celebration not of fasting. This makes sense since we do not count Sunday as a part of the Lenten 40 days. Could anyone clarify this for me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MichaelFilo Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 At what point could you turn the great Fast regimnes of Lent into no meat on Friday and Ash Wednesday... that really isn't a sacrafice, thats an inconvinence.....
