    Papist tip: Catholics *cannot* eat chicken on Fridays during Lent

    For the 43 people who have visited AmP in the past couple days through web searches asking the question "Can I eat Chicken during Lent?" (don't ask how I know this), let's be clear:

    1. Chicken = Meat.

    2. Observant Catholics are only required to give up meat during Fridays in Lent.

    3. Therefore, no chickens on Fridays during Lent.

    There you go. If you've already had chicken today, don't next week. It's not worth it!

    And honestly, with images like this floating around the internet, I can see why there's been some confusion.

    What are some likely reasons why people are looking to AmP for Lenten culinary guidelines?

    Now if only I could dig up a YouTube video of that Bless Me Father episode where Fr. Duddleswell tells a poor penitent woman in the confessional that "the Pope has declared infallibily that chicken is meat." Classic.
