Friday Penance
It appears that the Catholic Church in England has decided that a fast from meat on Fridays is a good way to follow the instructions on a penance that should be performed on this day. While some people may see this as a regression to 'the bad old days', it can also be seen as a reviving of a practice that did a great deal of good, both for the Church and for individuals. This is something that I wouldn't mind being reinstituted in CAnada as well. A good part of the time I try to follow it as a personal act of penance...
