Grew up not supposed to eat meat on Friday during lent. It was a big nono. I don't remember the year but one Friday during lent the church said they made an exception and you can eat meat that friday.

One problem with that logic: Matthew 18:18... Jesus, Son of God, said, "Truly, I say to you, whatever you bind on Earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on Earth shall be loosed in heaven."
He gives that authority to the Roman Catholic Church. i.e. the Church has authority to forgive sins (and make rules).
