Can Catholics eat meat on Friday, November 11?

When Independence Day falls on a Friday, Catholics must abstain from meat — the commemoration of St. Martin of Tours is not a feast that exempts from fasting. The ban covers poultry, beef, pork and meat broths; fish, eggs, dairy and plant products are allowed. Diocesan bishops can grant a dispensation — for example, they did so on November 11,. This year the feast falls on a Wednesday, so the dilemma is not current.
