Do we still abstain from meat on Fridays?

[Indy46220]

Does anyone know the official statement from the Church regarding eating meat on Friday?

It is my understanding that it was considered a “sin” to eat meat whether purposely or inadvertantly. Is that still true or have I got things mixed up?

Thanks in advance.
