I don't know if it is meat(as in beef, pork, hog mauls and such) or a different catagory of meat like chicken, pheasant, black birds, and such, but if you ate it on Friday or on Wenedsday(during Lent), you were going to hell, period. |
The various classes of "clean" animals was pretty detailed and exhaustive and wasn't simply a ban on "meat"--- If you read some medieval king arthur literature or a number of Breton Lai's, they all follow a similar narrative route: our hero is going through the wilderness during lent and comes upon a castle where he is granted entry and asked to join the lenten feast... This a feast that happens during a time of fasting, which is mildly amusing when the story goes on for three pages about every piece of food that laid out on this huge table... But they are all birds and fishes and cakes and so on... all appropriate dishes and each with their own special sauce. _________________ The end is nigh! OR forums die APRIL 1. Don't lose contact!

You guys crack me up!
I'm a bad Catholic...I really don't care about fasting, not eating meat, etc...It's so silly. If there is a God, why would he care about that?
I try not to eat meat a couple of days a week, bc I'm trying to be a part-time vegetarian. I'd love to become a vegetarian, but I lack the discipline to give up meat completely. _________________ "If by a 'Liberal' they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of the people — their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights and their civil liberties ... if that is what they mean by a 'Liberal,' then I’m proud to say I’m a 'Liberal.'" ~ Senator John F.

I don't think I could ever be a vegetarian, mainly because of ham. And there's no way I'm giving up seafood. _________________
