re: What is meaning behind no meat Fridays during Lent?

Just a Catholic tradition to remind you of the sacrifice that Jesus made on the cross to save his believers' souls.

Brings up 2 questions I have always had (for post for another day)

Were all Earth inhabitants intended to be believers of Jesus? Seems like no as impossible limitations of geography, Mobility, language, and forces suggest God’s plan included some and excluded many by nature of limitations.

Saving souls…which souls, just those non believers at the time, all preceding or forthcoming? In my life experience so far, God seems far less symbolic than what is portrayed here.
