I thought that not eating meat on Friday was a year round thing for the Catholic church and that during Lent traditionally if was not eating red meat. And that you also hade to give up something for Lent, or was that meat?

If someone comes to your door to try and sell their religion to you, do you shut the door in their face or go to the toilet? Or both?

that changed in, I think 1962 at the Ecumenical Council. Pope John XXIII led the council which decided Catholic women didn't have to cover their heads any more in church, Catholics could eat meat on Friday and mass could be read in languages other than Latin. A lot of Catholics disapproved and kept up the traditions.
