Abbot Gueranger calls the fasting practices of the 1850's effeminate
No he did not.  He said that the growing requests for DISPENSATIONS from penance is an effeminate “spirit of immortification”.  Although he said the 1800s practices were relaxed, he did not say those penances were effeminate.

Could someone confirm this or otherwise help me to understand this:  

The fasting precept of the 1983 Code of Canon Law is binding under pain of mortal sin. The fasting precept of the 1917 Code of Canon Law is not binding under pain of mortal sin.

Thank you for your help.

I believe this is the only logical conclusion for any non sede, but some people here would disagree.

The precept of abstaining from flesh-meat is so essential to Lent, that even on Sundays, when the Fasting is interrupted, Abstinence is an obligation
Abbot Gueranger never says that this abstaining from meat ALL of Lent was dispensed in his time (1850's) when he wrote this, so when was it changed to be able to eat meat once a day and on Sundays as much as one wants, as it was before the counterfeit Vatican II church pretty much eliminated the Lenten Fast altogether ?
