with respect to Lent and abstaining from meat on Fridays and such.

This also raises the question of gator.

What say ye OT?

My granny says that frog and alligator are not considered "meat" and therefore I have the ok to eat them on Fridays.

I consider both a form of seafood since they (mostly) live in the water. But I'm not a biologist or a good Catholic.

Think it pertains to warm-blooded mammals.

I like frog's legs a lot. I just wish the bastards weren't always so sticky when you eat them

I think we're going to need to get a priest in here to accurately answer this question.

Here is an article from last year that I found on nola.com.

LINK

quote:

The Code of the Canon Law was interpreted by Archbishop Gregory M. Aymond of New Orleans, while answering a question on this topic, to include the alligator in the fish family.

"Yes," he asserted, "the alligator is considered in the fish family... God has created a magnificent creature that is important to the state of Louisiana and it is considered seafood."

The OT says you should also stop believing in magic.

What's the point of "abstaining" if you're just trying to find little technical made-up nonsensical loopholes which undermine the whole principle of the idea?

The Catholic Church is in the pocket of Big Seafood.

Because I'm a bad catholic, I'm not as smart as you, and I'm a coward who just follows the crowd.
