I am so confused. I have read Canon Law (1253) and the 1966 NCCB statements on the abstaining from meat. In a nutshell, I understand that it is now not a sin to eat meat on Friday. And, although it is encouraged to make Fridays a day of self-denial, even personal penance is only recommended (either by abstaining from meat, or other acts). Do I have this clear? (I was sternly told by a priest to stop being so ‘scrupulous’ by abstaining from meat on Fridays that are not Lent - or by substituting another act of penance or charity). I know I still CAN, but is there some degree of disobedience by NOT doing something that is so strongly urged by even the NCCB?
Can anyone out there set me straight?![Eek! :eek: :eek:](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f631.png)
