Exactly, DT. When the tradition started it was because fish was a poor man's food and the Church considered it a sacrifice to have to eat it on Friday. Today a pound of filet costs more than a pound of sirloin.
Didn't eating meat on fridays used to be a mortal sin? I like George Carlin's take on the change: "I bet there's still some Catholics doing time in hell on a meat rap."
"Generosity. That was my first mistake." "Experience must be our only guide; reason may mislead us." "Instagram is Twitter for people who can't read."
