Nobody asked you, you Catholic-hating bigot.

Abstinence The law of abstinence requires a Catholic 14 years of age until death to abstain from eating meat on Fridays in honor of the Passion of Jesus on Good Friday. Meat is considered to be the flesh and organs of mammals and fowl. Also forbidden are soups or gravies made from them. Salt and freshwater species of fish, amphibians, reptiles and shellfish are permitted, as are animal derived products such as margarine and gelatin which do not have any meat taste.

I don't get it either, I just do it. Also, the overindulgence adheres to the letter of this precept but not the spirit.

My granny has always told me because they live in water, they are considered not to be meat. Granny me the okay when I was younger, and she is always right, so I go with that.

I'm Catholic.

If I ate a steak instead of crawfish on Friday then I couldn't justify fricking my girlfriend out of wedlock. But I eat crawfish, so...

No kidding. Not trying to knock others' beliefs, but I roll my eyes when people don't eat meat on fridays but then otherwise eaten gluttonously and worse, brag about it (not saying that's what the OP is doing that).

Why do people give a shite? That's what I want to know. I don't get all up in fricking arms because Baptists don't put Jesus on their cross. I mean that's the ENTIRE fricking premise behind it isn't it?

That's what you're supposed to do. And you can eat something, you just aren't supposed to pig out or have a full meal.


Sort of.

Abstinence (no meat from mammals or birds, but can eat however much you'd like) on Ash Wednesday and Fridays during Lent

Fasting (one meal, two small snacks that together don't equal the size of a meal) on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday

It is sort of funny/ironic to see the dude who is obsessed here and regales us all with minutiae of literally everything in his daily existence (and I love him here for it - I really do) get worked up about one harmless example of others doing the same thing on one trivial aspect of theirs, I guess because they are doing it in the name of their religion.

My aunt told me to make sure I baptize my puppy at Easter.

I told her the puppy is half Jewish and not being baptized.

However, she eats meat on Friday. You people are confusing.
