Can a dog owned by a Catholic eat meat during Lent?
Well, considering the dog isn't human , I don't think he/she celebrates Lent. However, since he is your family member and is probably treated like a child, which my dogs really are babied...lol, then of course, it is feesible that a person celebrating Lent who owns a pet, probably wouldn't feed the animal meat. But, on the other hand , most dogs I know can't stand vegetables unless they are cooked into something. THey mostly eat meat, so it would probably be safe tosay that, yes.. a catholic dog can eat meat on Lent.

Why do the Catholic churches cover the saints during Lent?
Usually, the cross is not covered except on Good Friday and then it is slowly uncovered for the adoration of the cross. In the pre-Vatican II church it was common practice to cover all statues in the church during Lent. Some churches still observe this today. Lent is meant to be a time of penance and deprivation. Covering the statues and allowing for little or no adornment of the church helps us focus on the coming passion and death of Our Lord. The Easter Vigil Mass marks the end of Lent and celebrates the glorious resurrection of Our Lord and the church is once more decorated in spectacular fashion.
