Weekly reminder that Christians are NOT allowed to eat meat today, or on any Friday of the year except during a festivity.
Fish, seafood, dairy and eggs are allowed.
This is not a dietary restriction based on the Old Law, but a penitence and a fast, practiced even by Our Lord Jesus Christ.
If you have already eaten meat today, try to abstain for the remainder of the day and keep that in mind for next Friday.
>Can. 1250 The penitential days and times in the universal Church are every Friday of the whole year and the season of Lent.
>Can. 1251 Abstinence from meat, or from some other food as determined by the Episcopal Conference, is to be observed on all Fridays, unless a solemnity should fall on a Friday. Abstinence and fasting are to be observed on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday.
God bless us, everyone!
>inb4 fish is meat We don't consider seafood to be meat because they are cold-blooded and have a different type of reproductive system.
>We don't consider seafood to be meat because they are cold-blooded and have a different type of reproductive system Lol christfags are retarded
Carter Turner
Fish is meat though.
Easton Flores
You should try it. You might lose some weight, fatties.
Jose Cruz
Americans don't. That's why they are obese today.
Jackson Perry
You certianly cant in your polluted shithole of a nation
Brandon Reed
I think you have bigger problems to worry about
Angel Richardson
I love fish but I know it's meat.
Hunter Campbell
Stop making this thread you heretic 2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; 3 Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. 4 For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving: 5 For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.
Hi, the prohibition comes because the definition of what is prohibited is not really "meat," as we understand it. It's a translation issue, basically. It is a Catholic prohibition, with Latin as the ecclesiastical language. In latin, the prohibited food is "carnis" which means flesh from a land animal. Fish is not "carnis" in latin. Therefore it is exempt.
Cooper Thompson
It's fish retard. The net effect of eating fish on Fridays is more developed brains and healthier immune systems. Universal law as defined before time dictates this separation and the benefits of sometimes eating fish. In other words God commands it.
note that the Orthodox, whose ecclesiastical language is greek, also have a prohibition. I'm not Orthodox so I don't know what the word is, but I am certain the prohibition is the same kind of thing: a word which means "land animal flesh" in Greek. Both the Catholic and Orthodox prohibitions ultimately derive from greek. Orthobros can back me up, I know your lenten fast is much more intense than ours!
Parker Ramirez
Saint Paul was talking about heretical sects that have forbade the consumption of all meats all the time, and some that were asking for adherence to the Mosaic food laws (no pork, etc)
One of the main reasons why I know Protestantism to be false and demonic is the amount of lies and slander it is based on.
Luke Wilson
>what is the Gospel of Jesus Christ? This is a basic preaching of the Gospel for your convenience. To start off, Jesus Christ came in the flesh. >1 John 4:2 "Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:" Coming as the last Adam(1 Corinthians 15:45-47; Romans 5:12-15) Giving redemption through his blood(Ephesians 1:7) >Hebrews 10:7-10 "Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God. > Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein; which are offered by the law; > Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second. > By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all." As was prophesied by Isaiah of the Messiah that was to be rejected of his own people(Isaiah 53:3-5) And in Psalms >Psalm 22:16 "For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet." So, Jesus Christ of Nazareth did fulfill scripture and did die and rose again. So that we can be saved through his blood by being baptized for the remission of sins through his name. >Acts 2:38 "Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost." >John 3:5 "Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God."
>In latin, the prohibited food is "carnis" which means flesh from a land animal Same in English, actually Fish is not meat
James Bennett
>One of the main reasons why I know Protestantism to be false and demonic is the amount of lies and slander it is based on. What about the trinity, idol worship, praying to mary and saints and calling a cult leader father aka pope?
Easton Garcia
Lol stupid christcucks
Bentley Long
if your sect is not trinitarian you are just not a christian, I'm sorry. Trinitarianism is not an exclusively catholic belief, but it is a core christian belief.
Adrian Gomez
The Orthodox also abstain on Wednesday, if I remember correctly, as we, Catholics, used to, also, but it fell out of Canon Law.
To be honest, few Catholics even know about the Friday rule because our Catechism has become so watered down.
After Lent, when I resume eating meat, I'm gonna do the Orthodox fast and include Wednesdays, so it'll be 2 days of fish for me.
Liam Ward
Yeah basically no land meat including birds. Fish is okay.
Brandon James
>We don't consider seafood to be meat because they are cold-blooded and have a different type of reproductive system. This is fucking stupid, just like how Japanese monks consider rabbits to be birds to get around some no meat eating shit.
Anthony Cook
In the US, the Church literally has a dispensation for not eating meat on Fridays outside of lent. You can either not eat meat, or do some other kind of penance. I don't really like that, it's kind of a modernism to assimilate with the culture, so I try not to eat meat Fridays year round.
I believe the orthodox have to do the Ash Wednesday-style fast throughout Lent, and more. I know they have to abstain from oils, cheeses, and certain things on Wed/Friday too
Nolan Barnes
The belief in the Holy Trinity is essential to the understanding and acceptance of Christianity itself.
We don't worship any idols, we don't pray TO Mary (we ask HER prayser... "ora pro nobis") and the Pope is the successor of Saint Peter, who received the keys of salvation from Christ
What did you guys give up for lent? I gave up twitter, which rots my brain, and fried/junk foods/sweets. I am healthy but those are my guilty pleasure so I thought it would be appropriate.
I gave up sugar, which means no desserts or sodas or things like that. It was tough in the beginning, but I'm even losing a bit of weight.
Henry Ward
I lost a little weight too. I'm getting married in the church in the fall so I want to look nice but I don't want to lose so much that my tuxedo doesn't fit anymore!
Lucas Diaz
I was almost certain this was going to be an american post but Brazil is close enough in terms of Christian shenanigans
Christopher Bell
>tfw eating pork today Not only do I piss off the christcucks, but also Jews and Muslims. AND vegans and vegetarians. I hesitate to say it, but is pork the most red-pilled meat a man can eat?
Landon Jenkins
I wish. I'm a long way from there. All we have here are cowards and guitar priests.
Alexander Clark
Pick your side
Protestant Anglo Masonic Jew
Or One True Church Catholic
Austin Diaz
Stupid Catholics
Jaxson Allen
You can eat whatever you want. Read the Epistles.
Dylan Stewart
Christianity is defined by the bible, not a Roman heretic "canon".
Leo Martin
I don't remotely care what a non-catholic (let alone a nonchristian) eats on Friday, that's not how it works. Muslims and Jews also don't care if you eat pork since you're not a muslim or a jew.
bummer. we have a nice (if a bit normie) parish with a good organist and choir. Our monsignor is pretty Novus Ordo but he is conservative and brilliant. There is a latin mass parish in the city nearby, but I don't go there frequently. I wish we could do latin masses in my parish but theres just not interest. Maybe for my wedding mass, I have to talk to monsignor
Luis Richardson
You know what’s stupid about this? Fucking south and Central Americans are eating red footed tortoises because the church said it counts as seafood, causing them to become endangered.
LAND TORTOISES.
By that logic a cow is a land manatee and seafood, so eat up on those burgers.
Blake Adams
Listening to Jew "laws" is stupid. The New Covenant makes this quite clear.
Charles Price
the Catholics literally compiled the Bible. Their councils, inspired by the holy spirit, decided what gospels to include and which were apocrypha. The catholic church is the reason you quote Mark to call me a heretic and not The Gospel of Thomas. Read church history, friend
Matthew Rodriguez
>We don't consider seafood to be meat because they are cold-blooded and have a different type of reproductive system. What about amphibians and reptiles?
Angel Bailey
Actually, reptiles and amphibians are not categorized as "carnis" in latin, therefore they are permissible! Alligator is popular among Creole catholics in Louisiana.
Joshua Nguyen
Based lmao. Holy shit. The final solution to the (((new world))) problem is pork. Just cook it well. >Our monsignor is pretty Novus Ordo but he is conservative and brilliant. Christcuck. Final form.
More catholic lies. Never proposed in the bible, but we will make it up anyway lies.
Isaiah Hill
There's a reference in Jude to the book of Enoch as scripture. But the catholics decided not to include Enoch in their book. Either they fucked up and forgot at least one divine writing or they fucked up and included at least one non-divine writing. Which is it?
Evan Ross
nobody claims that the Lenten fast is commanded by Bible. It is derived from Christ's 40 days in the desert, and is attested to from the earliest practices of the earliest recorded Christians. It is referred to as early as the Didache, written a few decades after Christ's resurrection
Brandon Phillips
Beaver and muskrat are also acceptable And we're widely consumed in Canada and the northeast us by the early settlers Good beaver from non muddy waters tastes kinda like fatty pork
Parker Torres
So what about reptiles? Is alligator ok?
Parker Smith
>Catholics literally compiled the Bible. Then why don't they follow it?
Caleb Sanchez
>the Catholics literally compiled the Bible Right. And the Roman heretics ignore the bible and choose to follow nonsense made up centuries later like the canon instead.
Mason Hall
there is indeed, but protestant groups do not include Enoch as inspired either. The OT contains plenty of references to other works which are not considered Canonical and are not in the bible: the book of Jasher, the Annals of King David, etc. Just because a book is mentioned does not mean it is an inspired work, or even that the author is saying it was an inspired work
Logan Carter
Where did Jesus say this?
Xavier Rivera
I just had fish It was dead It was a dead fish Are you happy now? A FISH IS DEAD
David Russell
yeah, see:
Logan Nelson
Yes they are. In the 80's the Catholic church passed a doctrine allowing practitioners of the faith to eat meat if they confessed and offered prayers and alms instead as their sacrifice for Lent. Stop spreading false info ya fake news cuck.
Andrew Fisher
>Papists are NOT allowed to eat meat today! fixed
Levi Long
>We don't consider seafood to be meat because they are cold-blooded and have a different type of reproductive system. lmao what bullshit arbitrary definition. shut the fuck up, macaco
Christian Brown
Organized religion is a meme because things like this
Jackson Wright
1) that's only in the USA, and 2) that's only for outside of Lent. During Lent, the friday fast remains in effect even in the USA
Jason Moore
I just believe in Jesus I don't really care of what the church, the bible or fucking old man in white robe tell me what to do
