Yes, it is wrong unless they are required to eat meat for health reasons.
You can't eat meat on Good Friday, but you only eat fish instead. But some say This is the kind of nonsense that makes Protestants laugh at Catholics. The Bible CLEARLY says that we are free to fast or not fast, eat meat or not eat meat, as we please. IT CLEARLY says that these kinds of "religious practices" are worthless and that God sees "good works" as nothing but "filthy rags." Follow Jesus. Give Him your heart. That's all that counts. These kinds of questions reflect the kind of dead useless "religiosity" that Jesus came to ABOLISH!
I don't eat any, but some people eat meat!
I suppose the answer is yes. But you have to wait until Mass is over. Since there is no Mass on Good Friday you will have to wait until after the Vigil Mass on Holy Saturday. Otherwise you are free to eat meat after midnight on Friday night.
It isn't really traditional. It substitutes meat which shouldn't be eaten on Good Friday. This is a form of sacrifice since Good Friday is a holy day, the day where Jesus died. Meat shouldn't be eaten on any Friday as a sacrifice.
Before during lent the people couldn't eat any meat at all.
Catholics fast on Good Friday, and traditionally eat fish and not meat on Fridays during Lent. They used to be forbidden to eat meat every Friday, and depending upon their location and diocese, some still are. Good Friday is a fast day, where one goes without the usual luxuries as a form of penance, purification and remembrance of God's laws.Christ died on Good Friday, so we observe that every Friday in Lent including Good Friday.
The catholics belive that eating red meat on Friday is a sin or disgrace and so the only meat they can eat is fish, that is not poultry or red meat. The above doesn't address the history of this tradition, which has nothing to do with piety. See links
Its advised not to meat on a Good Friday. People from 18 - 60 years are expected to fast (i.e. skip a meal) unless they are bed ridden or suffering from diseases.If you want to eat anything apart from meat (non vegetarian), you surely can have them.
