[quote name='DemonSlayer' date='Feb 26 2005, 12:32 AM'] I've been eating fish these last three Fridays, which isn't much better, since it's still meat... [/quote]
Fish is o.k. because it's not red meat.

I had salmon cream coagulated milk on a bagel.

Of course vegetarian is even better...

i totally forgot it was a Friday in Lent and ate chicken soup (with chicken meat in it). it was good chicken soup. i didn't eat any meat yesterday so maybe i can just switch the days...

I too accidently ate meat. Combo pizza at a friend's house. His sister is a veg-head, so they had eggplant pizza, but I forgot it was friday and ate the combo...

Throw up or you're going to hell.

On Ash Wednesday, the homily of EWTN, did indeed say eating meat with intention to do so was a mortal sin.

processed fish (fish patties, sticks, strips) is pretty much always a penance.

though I think during lent the church does say with exceptions provided for in cannon law you must abstain from meat. it's the other fridays where you pick your fast/abstaining.
