Meatless Fridays return to England and Wales

Amen! I, for one, don't mind meatless Fridays. However, not everyone likes tomato soup and grilled cheese and plenty of people are allergic to shellfish. Giving up meat on Fridays may be more difficult for some, but rest assured God spares no one in regards to temptation.

Pro-Life Wisconsin had a "Meatless Fridays" cookbook published in 2006 (sadly, the cookbook sold out a long time ago, but perhaps PLW could be convinced to do a 5-year anniversary reprint?). Article is no longer available at the Milwaukee Catholic Herald so you'll have to read the scanned-in version, below.

Fr. Z's writes on meatless Fridays returning to England and Wales:

The Bishops have decided to re-establish the practice that this penance should be fulfilled simply by abstaining from meat and by uniting this to prayer

On 16 September in England and Wales, Catholics are asked by the Catholic bishops to return during the whole year to meatless Fridays.

This is a great initiative for strengthening Catholic identity and for doing penance for the sins members of the Church have committed.
