Anyone know about eating St Patty's day corned beef on a Friday during lent
 

Someone just told me that because this Friday honors a saint, it's ok to eat Corned Beef on a friday during lent.

That sounds like Bullshit to me.


Any thoughts???

hah, I think you got God on a technicality . . . . to be honest, I don't remember . . . I will call my parents, brb.

i'm not sure if thats the reason why you can but the pope had issued a statement saying that it was ok to eat it on friday let me see if i can find a link to it...

Unless they have it as a special at the pub I just continue to enjoy the green beer

Okay, got off the phone . . . it is done by diocese. The cardinal for LA has dispensed the abstinence for Catholics in LA.

whoo-ya

Yeah but lent has not restrictions on Cabbage. That's ok any day. :)

Are you seriously asking if there could be a rule that goes against another rule in regards to what you can eat and religion? Then you dare say it sounds like bullshit.


First religious dogma and religion in general always has contradicting rules and exceptions.
Dictating what you eat based on religion is just super silly anyways.
Assuming religion is all correct and all that jazz, according to the Catholic rules can you not just give confession that you ate beef during lent and be absolved of your sin anyways?

Oh no... What's a good catholic to do?

True, but if you intentionally violated the rule it would be a mortal sin and you could risk death before you had a chance to get to the confessional. Wouldn't that be a drag?

I plan on bathing my corned beef in the Blood of Christ.

Here's my favorite line in that article.

"Even Christ liked to live it up at times, Donovan said. "What would Jesus say? He turned the water into wine."

Invite a priest to dinner just in case.

Yes, you can eat meat tomorrow, it's called a despensation.

You can eat meat whenever you want.

:)

Who gives a flying fuck at a rolling hole in a donut?

The whole question is so much bullshit it's not fucking funny.

Yeah the pope said it was ok this time.

You can beat your meat when ever you want too!!!!! OMG, is that a sin too?

HAHAHA I feel so lost when rules are broken! :1orglaugh

religion is pure shit!

amen to that!
