I wondered if people on here believe that it is ok for people with intellectual or health disabilities to eat meat on Good Fiday. I have a family member staying with me on Good Friday who is unaware that they have been christened in the Catholic Church, is it wrong of me to allow them to eat meat on a day that I would not eat it myself. I am not a strict Catholic, there are just things I don't do, a girlfriend has told me that their is a dispensation for the disabled, especially if they don't have the capacity to decide for themselves. Once again I am not a strict or practicing Catholic,I just have things that I don't do!

Thankyou for your feedback, I do agree with you but it's hard to be objective when you're so close to the situation. People with disabilities such as and including autistic behaviour in particular have strong routines and need them to be followed religiously. Thankyou once again for your opinion, I do appreciate it!
