The hard and fast "No meat on Friday" abstinence rule is a thing of the past.
When the document lifting the requirement was issued by Pope Paul VI, the Newspapers did not carry the entire explanation, nor was it forthcoming from the pulpit. The spirit of the document was: We should not abstain / fast unthinkingly, but with a firm understanding of why we are doing what we are doing. We may exempt ourselves from the abstinence rule if we were to
pray prayers for those who we would not normally pray for
perform an extra act of charity or kindness that we would not normally perform.
If these were not accomplished, we were bound to keep the fast / abstinence rules, under pain of sin. BUT, as that was never explained, don't worry about it.
