Weekly reminder that Christians are NOT allowed to eat meat today, or on any Friday of the year except in 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 fasting, 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.
Fish is still meat. Why do people think otherwise? Makes no sense.
Matthew Howard
All of that sounds like the thoughts and feelings of earthly beings interfering with my natural hunting and gathering patterns. Sopa de OP! Uma Delicia!
The merchant has to sell all the fish before the Sabbath, so he bribes the church to institute lent. Find actual scriptural justification for this. Fuck this scam.

Doesn't matter, if it's flesh from an animal it's meat.

You mean catholics. Never saw that shit in the bible.

The Orthodox fast Wednesdays and Fridays. We used to as well, but current Canon Law requires only on Friday. Some people still fast on Wednesdays as well. I'm thinking of doing it, actually.
Christians are absolute cucks, I don't know why so many people on this site are pretending to be christians Reminder: >Black Civil Rights was supported by White Churches >White Churches supported Women's Suffrage >White Churches and Women's Suffrage support the temperance movement, which set the precedent for modern day gun control by claiming to want moderate restrictions when they really wanted complete abolishment of alcohol. >Christians import millions of Africans and Third-Worlders into this country after they finished their (((missionary trips))). >Catholics claim a man elected by cardinals(other men) is God's chosen spokesman on Earth. >Catholics->SEX BAD, BOY TOUCHING GOOD >Episcopalian Church->Women and fag preachers, soon to be trannies >Lutheran Church-> Muslims delivering calls to prayer. >Oy vey goyim don't eat meat or anything else, thats for us to eat while the goyim cattle eat mealworm and cockroach burgers with a side of earthworm pudding. Orthodox is maybe the only uncucked church.
Now remind me what Christians have accomplished other than import millions of brown hoards, turn the other cheek for people who deserve punishment, molest little boys, giving roasties the right to vote etc.
>But muh muh foundation of western civilizations Stealing ideas and art from Plato and the Greeks and stealing Pagan Holidays and pretending they are Christian does not make you the founder of Western Civilization. If I take a picture of Christ and slap it on my car does that make the inventor of the automobile and the founder of modern transportation?

England was not Catholic anymore by the time of the suffragists, and the USA has never been a Catholic-majority country.
Pescatarian, Mediterranea, Nordic diet, etc. are patrician anyways.

The proscription to "abstain from meat" is very specifically to abstain from the meat of mammals and fowls, along with any soups or gravies made from them.
Dagon worship. Nowhere in the Bible does it support this.
James Diaz
from 1 Timothy 4 >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. >For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving: > For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.

"[3] "Forbidding to marry, to abstain from meats": He speaks of the Gnostics, the Marcionites, the Eneratites, the Manicheans, and other ancient heretics, who absolutely condemned marriage, and the use of all kind of meat; because they pretended that all flesh was from an evil principle. Whereas the church of God, so far from condemning marriage, holds it a holy sacrament; and forbids it to none but such as by vow have chosen the better part: and prohibits not the use of any meats whatsoever in proper times and seasons; though she does not judge all kind of diet proper for days of fasting and penance."
thats a very fair commentary, but as i am not catholic, i'm not going to worry about your traditions and fasting methods.
James Wilson

Catholic fasting is not divinely ordained, it's a voluntary sacrifice to show solidarity and thanks. That the rules are somewhat arbitrary isn't a big deal.

Protestants are schismatics. Christ founded one Church, the rock of which was both (a) Himself, (b) Saint Peter's confession and (c) Saint Peter's person. There is no salvation outside the Church. Refer to my Scriptural proofs up above. Scripture is not to be privately interpretated in contradiction to the Church's consensus on it, which is the unanimous teachings of the Church Fathers, understood through the Magisterium, or teaching authority of the Pope. Sacred Tradition is equal to Sacred Scripture. Either you believe in the Church and therefore in the infallibility of the Bible, or you don't and the Bible was fallibly put together by fallible men. The rock was not Luther, Calvin or Wesley: it was Peter. Repent.
Catholics are pagans. They don't preach the message of grace. They Judaize. They use false scriptures. Among many other things. I know first hand, was raised catholic until I found grace, immediately ceased all practice and participation.
A rule writen more than 2000 years ago because meat eatong was increasing and fishermen started to really struggle. So Christian eat fish. I dont say eating fish or fasting is bad for you, it indeed is good. But there is no real reason as of why today.
Nathan Nguyen
I'm an American, I get a substitute act of penance. Probably going to fast today, not sure since I really need protein for my muscles.

Why not just fast for a day and donate your food money to your local christian institutions?
No its not. Catholic doctrine like this is bullshit.
Daniel Davis
It IS divinely ordained. The Church is Christ's Bride, and when you hear the Church you are hearing Christ. Whatever the Church binds, you are bound by. Disobeying the Six Precepts of the Church is a mortal sin making you liable for hellfire.
"[33] As yet the flesh was between their teeth, neither had that kind of meat failed: when behold the wrath of the Lord being provoked against the people, struck them with an exceeding great plague." [Numbers 11:33]
Not what the Bible says. All you need is a functioning brain and the Bible to be saved. You need to believe. That is all. Go listen to what Peter said before he was crucified upside down making a powerful statement as well. We are born upside down. We must be born again, right side up, in the spirit, with faith.
His church is his believers. If you don't practice what he preached, grace, how are you a believer or part of that church?
or maybe the bible was put together by fallible men, and is subject to critque. what if one can come close to God through its teachings, but it's imperfect anyways.
Colton Gomez
Fish meat is obviously from fish, a living animal. In fact, its meat makes up the majority of this creature, so when you eat fish, you are almost completely consuming the entire animal. Fish meat is called "fish," just like how chicken meat is called "chicken." delishably.com/meat-dishes/is-fish-meat
Leo Kelly
Its a sin when put it in. But they shout when you take it out.
Samuel Bennett
Gonna eat a hamburger for lunch and meat filled chili for supper. The "sin" part just makes it taste all better.
The only thing you should do yearly is fasting. Gets rid of all the bad things build up in your body.
Zachary Price
Sin damages grace, go read James 2 about works and realize he was talking about the Talmud regarding the oral law. You can't act like a degenerate and go to heaven just because you believe.
How can they build up in my body? How can fasting remove them?
Jaxson Adams
"Prove all things, hold fast that which is good" (1 Thessalonians 5:21, KJV).
Regarding the text from Matthew, this is a bit semantically... When Jesus says he will "build his Church," he does not mean he is founding the Catholic Church, or any specific Church. It means he's laying the blueprints for the Christian belief. The Rock being mentioned is Jesus himself, and he is central to the belief of Christianity. The "Church" is merely his flock.
The Church of Rome didn't become the "Catholic Church" until the Roman Empire made the religion their State Religion. Technically, the Catholic Church was founded by Roman lawman after the Emperor's conversion to the faith.
Even in the founding of the Church of Rome, almost immidiately, Paul how to write letters to the Church correcting them on the flaws built into their beliefs... A bad founding is hardly a sign of a perfect founder.
The Catholic Church is in contradiction with much of scriptures. A plain example is the use of the word "Father" to reference one's teacher. Matthew 23:9 specifically says you may not call your priest 'Father.' [4]. As the Pulpit Commentary highlights, teachers should only lead you to God. Catholic Priests make themselves the centerpiece of one's salvation. You must go to them to learn how many times to pray... Otherwise you can not find forgiveness. This is against everything the Bible states. This includes 1 Timothy 2:5... "For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus..."

>Catholics are pagans Elaborate how you can try to accuse Christ's Bride of being pagan. >They don't preach the message of grace. You are saved by the grace of God, through faith that is alive in works. If you sin, you forfeit your sanctifying grace recieved in the Baptismal until you are absolved sacramentally in the confessional. Christ gave his priests the power to forgive and remit sins through Apostolic succession. Read the New Testament. >They Judaize. Elaborate. >They use false Scriptures. Explain how Luther's canon is infallible and one the Church held for nearly 1200 years up until that point was fallible. >Their churches are cold and dark. Depressing. The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass is mean't to elicit a sense of humility and reverence, which is reflected in church architecture and atmosphere. If you find this "depressing" then I suggest you stop claiming to worship God.
The bible is a product of the Catholic church compiled at the synod of hippo and it's contents was under divine inspiration of the holy spirit. You're not allowed to cherry pick contents. NPR fails because the fast existed during the Apostolic age in the early 100s.
Joseph Brooks
>When Jesus says he will "build his Church," he does not mean he is founding the Catholic Church, or any specific Church. It means he's laying the blueprints for the Christian belief So when he says he's the son of God that's a metaphor too right?
Justin Myers
Further Catholothism is a religion. In religion, you "do things."
Christ and his preaching is the truth. Grace. In truth, you "believe things."
Christianity is the truth therefore I argue not a religion, because you don't have to do anything, no "works" you just believe. Religions are fraud. Truth is not.
Romans 4:5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.
Blake Jackson
You do realize the edict of Milan only made Christianity legal and the next emperor is the one who made it state religion right? Pope Clement I got tossed into the sea by the Romans and got martyred. Katholika ekkelsia was mentioned by saint Ignatius of Antioch in a letter of his during the 100s, and 23 other churches are communion with it. If you don't have a tracible patriarchal lineage for your church hierarchy spanning thousands of years your church isn't legit.

Unsubstantiated historical claims based on your erroneous understanding of Scripture rooted in the error of private interpretation.
"[7] To all that are at Rome, the beloved of God, called to be saints. Grace to you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ. [8] First I give thanks to my God, through Jesus Christ, for you all, because your faith is spoken of in the whole world." [Romans 1:7-8]
“The Lord says to Peter: ‘I say to you,’ he says, ‘that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my Church.’ . . . On him [Peter] he builds the Church, and to him he gives the command to feed the sheep [John 21:17], and although he assigns a like power to all the apostles, yet he founded a single chair [cathedra], and he established by his own authority a source and an intrinsic reason for that unity. Indeed, the others were that also which Peter was [i.e., apostles], but a primacy is given to Peter, whereby it is made clear that there is but one Church and one chair. So too, all [the apostles] are shepherds, and the flock is shown to be one, fed by all the apostles in single-minded accord. If someone does not hold fast to this unity of Peter, can he imagine that he still holds the faith? If he [should] desert the chair of Peter upon whom the Church was built, can he still be confident that he is in the Church?” - Cyprian of Carthage, The Unity of the Catholic Church 4; 1st edition [A.D. 251]
>in religion you do things >preaching the truth doesn't count Your argument is self refuting. The definition of religion requires sacred traditions that are upheld, beliving in holy tradition and using a bible which canon is determined by that fit that exact definition. Luther called James an epistle of straw because James 2 said faith without works is dead calling those who don't realize that ignoramuses.
William Butler
"[14] What shall it profit, my brethren, if a man say he hath faith, but hath not works? Shall faith be able to save him? [15] And if a brother or sister be naked, and want daily food: [16] And one of you say to them: Go in peace, be ye warmed and filled; yet give them not those things that are necessary for the body, what shall it profit? [17] So faith also, if it have not works, is dead in itself. [18] But some man will say: Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without works; and I will shew thee, by works, my faith. [19] Thou believest that there is one God. Thou dost well: the devils also believe and tremble. [20] But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? [21] Was not Abraham our father justified by works, offering up Isaac his son upon the altar? [22] Seest thou, that faith did co-operate with his works; and by works faith was made perfect? [23] And the scripture was fulfilled, saying: Abraham believed God, and it was reputed to him to justice, and he was called the friend of God. [24] Do you see that by works a man is justified; and not by faith only? [25] And in like manner also Rahab the harlot, was not she justified by works, receiving the messengers, and sending them out another way? [26] For even as the body without the spirit is dead; so also faith without works is dead." [James 2:14-26]

catholicucks are not and never were christians

Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand.
1 Timothy 4:1-5 >Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; >Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; >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. >For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving: >For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.

"[20] For if, flying from the pollutions of the world, through the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they be again entangled in them and overcome: their latter state is become unto them worse than the former. [21] For it had been better for them not to have known the way of justice, than after they have known it, to turn back from that holy commandment which was delivered to them. [22] For, that of the true proverb has happened to them: The dog is returned to his vomit: and, The sow that was washed, to her wallowing in the mire." [2 Peter 2:20-22]

Nice graven image and female worship picture you got there satanist.
>Elaborate how you can try to accuse Christ's Bride of being pagan.
Because you have pagen practices. Like celebrating Christmas with an evergreen tree on the winter solstice like pagans did. Among many other things. Christ was born on 3 B.C, September 11.
Revelation 12:1-5 (KJV): And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars: And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.
Roll back astrological charts and this image is on 3 B.C 9/11. Merry Christmas faggot.
>Elaborate Preaching you must "do things" or "not do things" to be saved. Catholics believe in unforgivable sins. They also rate sin as mortal or lesser. Revelation clearly says any sin at all is enough for damnation without Grace.
Revelation 21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
>Explain how Luther's canon is infallible and one the Church held for nearly 1200 years up until that point was fallible.
Their vaticus whateverthefuck is not part of the original manuscripts from the OT nor from the original Textus Receptus. Scholars like the current owner of the original books agree, only the KJV is the word. There were false works even in Pauls day.
>The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass Aint nothing holy about that shit.
>I suggest you stop claiming to worship God. John 10:28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. Now go fuck yourself.

Mostly heavy metals stay in your body also contaminants, fasting starves the body and everything gets thrown out and resets the body. It works for neurological diseases too by clearing out toxic proteins.
Jackson Long
That section from Romans is clearly speaking about people who undertake their own, personal fasting and penance and become prideful and do it for vainglory like the Pharisees did, who were hypocrites. The Church is the eternal pillar and foundation of the truth, and what the Church binds you are bound by. If the Church binds that the priesthood must not marry and that at certain times the faithful are to fast and abstain, they are bound to obey the Church, as when the Church speaks, Christ speaks. Cease your Protestant heresy, and repent. Blaspheming Christ's Bride won't get you very far in the hereafter.
the catholicuck cuckethism says catholicucks literally worship the same god as muslims
CCC 841 >The Church's relationship with the Muslims. "The plan of salvation also includes those who acknowledge the Creator, in the first place amongst whom are the Muslims; these profess to hold the faith of Abraham, and together with us they adore the one, merciful God, mankind's judge on the last day"
Blake Walker
Aside from the NT being written by the church there was only 1 church for over a thousand years. The church at Antioch historically was part of a pariarchate as concerning ecclessical jurisdiction. Before then there was also no set canon at all,and the fact that protestants use it means in some capacity they subconsciously accept church authority and violate sola scriptura in numerous ways, the doctrine itself being a fabrication without justification as early Christendom for 300 years did not have a bible. You don't have proper exegesis at all.
