Should this be merged with Lent#Fasting_and_abstinence? -- Psy guy Talk 18:47, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
I wouldn't say so. This should go under disciplines, or devotions. Or if there were a fasting page, it should go under a Catholic Fasting or Penetential devotions page. Ithillion 11:17, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
Is it true that eating meat on a Friday is a mortal sin? Supposedly the Second Vatican Council changed this, but I can't find anything on it. -- Auric ( talk) 02:50, 3 April 2010 (UTC)
Why does this page not have a section on Friday abstinence and fasting in the Orthodox tradition? The Orthodox churches form the second largest stream of Christian faith, after only Catholicism and certainly include many more worshipers than individual Protestant subsects like Methodism or even Anglicanism/Episcopalism. Without such a section, this article is obviously and manifestly incomplete. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:569:BC0A:1200:F86F:F226:F222:B1E3 ( talk) 21:54, 28 December 2018 (UTC)
In my opionion, the introduction is not quite correct, stating that friday fast includes abstaining from lacticinia and alcohol in all churches resp. denominations. At least for the Roman Catholic church it is consumption of the meat of land animals (and nothing else). That abstinence or fast includes abstaining from alcohol, too, is a rather common error.
