What effect does fasting have on Catholics?
If you mean physically, well, it makes us hungry :) But spiritually, fasting helps detach onself from the world- in the sense that Catholics are trying to avoid being overly attached to material things and that which might lead us to sin and take us away from Christ. We also believe it improves us because it is something hard to do, and we can offer up our hardships to Christ in reperation for our sins.
What does fasting teach us?
As per my experience, I can say fasting teaches us everything. It has helped me a lot by giving me emotional help. There was a time where i used to stay very depressed. But my fasting coach and his fasting support got me out of that situation.
Is fasting a waste of time?
A time of fasting is to remember what Christ did for us in the desert for 40 days and 40 nights, he made a sacrafice and resisted tempatation for us. If you are a religious person and want to please your Lord then fasting is far from a waste of time. But if you don't want to give up food by fasting, perhaps there is something else you usually do that you don't mind giving up for Lent.

Why should one not eat meat on Good Friday?
Because pork is meat and we abstain from meat on Fridays of Lent as a sacrifice and memorial of Jesus' death on Friday. We also fast for the same reason.Answer 2:The above answer is not the case at all for all Christians. Catholics are quite strict about rules, but the Reformation hundreds of years ago meant that Protestant churches did not need to enforce such rules any longer. There are no limits at all to what people can eat on Good Friday, but it is a matter of personal choice. Some people are perfectly comfortable eating pork, and it is not against their church's teachings, but others may not be comfortable - and that is their choice.

How do the Catholics celebrate Pentecost?
Roman Catholic AnswerPentecost is the "birthday of the Church" celebrated the coming of the Holy Spirit on the early Church fifty days after Easter.

Regularly weekly fasting (for those who fast) resumes the next day, the evening hymn after Compline resumes with the Salve Regina, we are back in Ordinary Time.
