not sure how Catholic fasting works but wouldn't the cheese be a deal breaker?

Now that's assuming that what McDonalds calls cheese actually cheese...and it's not.

Dairy is ok during fasting, at least for Catholics.

Perhaps one of our Catholic friends can chime in on this point. One will be around shortly, anyway - they'll be "anonymously" adding the keywords MOACB and/or FASCINATEDWCATHOLICS to the thread :)

Nah. In my pre-McDonald's childhood, we always had cheese pizza on Fridays during Lent. :-)

Roman Catholics don't do vegan fasting. Even fasting observant Catholics are allowed dairy and even meat once a day (except on Friday) during Lent.

This is my first Great Lent since I was chrismated as Orthodox. It's not too hard to give up meat, but dairy is difficult.

Come to think of it, Orthodox could not have the cod or even the tartar sauce either.

Filet-O-Shrimp, anybody?

Nope, cheese is good...otherwise I'm in trouble for the grilled cheese I fixed last Friday night :)

My daughter's Catholic school serves cheese pizza on occasion on Fridays during Lent.

Cheese is fine. Meat is not. That's why there are so many Friday fish fry's around the country.
