Abstaining from meat every Friday of the year is no longer required, but some penitential act is required every Friday, because Christ died on a Friday. Abstaining from meat on Fridays of Lent is required.
Since I joined the lay Dominicans, I gave up meat on all Fridays (except one Friday where the only thing I had available to eat all day was lunch meat). This discipline, however, is not binding on pain of sin (though I think the disciplines of some other orders do bind on pain of sin).
