The only restrictions are that no meat is to be eaten on Ash Wednesday and on Fridays during Lent. Some ordinaries that have not requested an indult still observe all Fridays during the year as meatless as do many Catholics living in a diocese that has received an indult.

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.

During Lent, one must abstain from meat on Ash Wednesday. The Church's rules require abstainingfrom meat on all Fridays of the year.

Roman Catholic AnswerNo, it was re-stated quite clearly by Pope Paul VI in his Apostolic Constitition on penance entitled Paenitemini (see link below). The rule for fasting during Lent was relaxed, previously it had been every day but Sunday and it is now only Ash Wednesday and Friday.

What language must Catholic religious duties be carried out in?
The official language of the liturgy and the sacraments in the Catholic Church depends upon your rite. For instance, if you belong to the Latin rite, all of the sacraments, officially, are in Latin. If you belong to the Maronite Rite, all the sacraments are in Aramaic; the Greek rite would be in Greek, etc. However, the Latin Rite of the Church (the largest) is in an odd position, as, under indult, they may celebrate the sacraments in a translation in their native tongue. Those of the Latin Rite in England and the United States hear Mass in English. In South America and Spain, they hear Mass in Spanish (except in Brazil, which is in Portugese), etc.

The general rule is that Catholics should abstain from meat on Fridays. However, local ordinaries can request an indult (exception) from the Vatican exempting them from this requirement. However, all Catholics should do some form of penance or service on Fridays. In early years of the Church meat was considered a luxury and the common folk ate fish which was cheaper and more readily available. For those of means giving up meat was a sacrifice. However, today seafood is often more expensive than meat. To go out and eat a big dinner of shrimp or lobster sort of misses the point of Friday abstinence.
