Guess what percentage of Catholics will abstain from meat today.
Georgetown's Center for Applied Research on the Apostolate (CARA) says:
60% of Catholics abstain from meat on Fridays in Lent.
Actually, that's higher than I would have guessed.
The percentage jumps far higher if you also regularly attend Mass on Sundays - 89%.
44% of Catholics try to "undertake some special spiritual effort" during Lent. Sunday-goers? 85%.
Standing in line at one of Catholic University's cafeterias today, and watching all the kids order chicken, I wondered how many Catholics under 30 abstain from meat. I'd like to see the CARA findings by age.
