The Second Vatican Council, itself, made no changes to Friday abstinence, although Pope Paul VI, streamlined, and explicated the reasons for Friday abstinence. He also allowed, with specific permission from the Vatican, individual Bishops' Conferences to allow individuals to substitute some other penance on Fridays outside of Lent if it would be more meaningful. That has been a total disaster, and they are just now started to rescind that, I believe that the English Bishops have already returned that entire country to mandatory Friday abstinence year round.
