Meatless Fridays
I knew that the bishops of the United States wrote a “pastoral letter” on Peace in the World in which they supported nuclear disarmament. It was controversial at that time. But since I neve read the letter I missed the part where they encouraged a return to “meatless Fridays” for Catholics. Well, maybe there is no world peace because I did not return to skipping meat on Fridays. I only abstain when I absolutely have to in my church. Maybe that makes me mediocre, but I think there are many other reasons for my mediocrity in practice of religion. I never liked Friday abstaining from meat. When I grew up, supper was so boring and tasteless. We ate fish sticks which had hardly anything close to a fish in it. No one cooked fish in my home when I was young. I suppose now I could start eating some good fish on Fridays, among other stuff. Maybe tofu. Well, maybe not since I don’t know what to do with that gob of tofu to make it tasty. I can do fish, shrimp, scallops and pastas. Maybe it will contribute to world peace. What do you eat on Fridays?
