Does anyone know why BoSox fans are asking the Boston archdiocese to relax the rule that Catholics can't eat meat on Good Friday?

Serious question - this is a headline today on CP24 - am almost-local TV station.

I'd guess it has something to do with the baseball schedule and eating hot dogs at the park.

Historically speaking.
 
I have determined that those "Hot Dogs on Friday" have always tasted a little better with a slight tincture of guilt. :cool:

HotDogs at Fenway
 
The answer to your question I would venture with confidence is.... yes.. someone does know why the BoSox fans are asking the Boston archdiocese to relax the rule that Catholics can't eat meat on Good Friday. I would also venture that if this wasn't such a dunb question, it would merit a less flippant answer.

Hope this helps!

SgtSaunders69,
Welcome to the forum.
I missed the flipancy.

Tonight, I mistakenly put bacon bits on my salad at fish fry, ... but it still ate.

Welcome to of.com.

Ah, yes, answering a question in a literal way. Can be a funny response, at times.

They should do what i do, eat meat, then go to confession afterward. In the end, it all gets the same result. ;)

And because i don't think you've recieved an answer to your question yet, the home opener against the blue jays is on good friday, so I guess the Catholics of Boston want to eat their Fenway Franks.

These people can't go to a game without eating a hot dog?
