Religious Question

[Haiko]

I know I know lolreligous and this thread will turn into a religous debate but I have to ask...
During Lent I know we Catholics can't eat meat on Fridays so my question is can we eat chicken or is that consider meat in the bible?

[Melena]

ahh good old lent. So many memories of when I had a part time job as a receptionist at a catholic church (hey i'm not one to laugh at free money to do my homework) and bringing in a fat roast beef sandwich to work on a friday and watching as the fathers shake there heads and walk away.

[Fistandantilus]

Really? You're curious if chicken is considered meat?

lolcatholics

[Guitarman]

fish only, no chicken

[SephYuyX]

Fish is the only meat allowed to be consumed.
Peanutbutter sammiches for lunch, and fish or cheese pizza for dinner is what I usually do.

[Qalbert]

Hey I'm giving up alcohol, is wine ok? It's basically grape juice after all.

[Restrat]

the whole point is that, during those times, it was only the rich who could afford to eat any meat besides fish, which poor people could get too, and you wanted to avoid signs of rich living.
Now it's probably cheaper to get a meat based meal than one of only plants... something you can keep in mind.

fish only, no chicken

We're going to olive garden tonight since there's lots of no meat pasta there XD

[Klutz]

Oh dear sweet jesus. This thread is going to get torn to shreds.

[Fistandantilus]

I'm curious how many people who practice lent are actually regular churchgoers? So many people I know never go to church and never mention religion, but for some reason are hardcore about lent.

Seems really fucking stupid to me.

[Chun Liroy]

Only good church is a black church because at least they dance and sing.

[Fistandantilus]

plus if you go on Sundays instead of Friday they provide free fried chicken.

[Klutz]

Can you answer me?
No more time for questioning
My car's outside I want to leave
Don't you think I'm interesting
Well, I'm listening.

Everything's obvious
The way you put your hand on me
The way you talk so easily
The way your lips are glistening
Well, I'm listening.

You get around
You want me
You come around
You need me
This time around
I won't be back at all

Maybe misery I
s what I need to keep my sanity
And I don't mean if things don't go my way
I'll be pleased to meet you

And maybe yesterday
Was a day that I could get away
Now today I'm stuck in sanity
And I'm pleased to meet you

Right now I think I'm sane,
But I'm really just anxious
To cross that bridge
The subconscious oasis
Where right is right
And wrong is wrong
And you weren't there
To build me up

You get around
You want me
You come around
You need me
This time around
I won't be back at all

Maybe misery
Is what I need to keep my sanity
And I don't mean if things don't go my way
I'll be pleased to meet you (pleased to meet you)

And maybe yesterday
Was a day that I could get away
Now today I'm stuck in sanity
And I've seen it all
I've seen it all
Many times before

Maybe misery
Is what I need to keep my sanity
And I don't mean if things don't go my way
I'll be pleased to meet you

And maybe yesterday was a day that I could get away
Now today I'm stuck in sanity
And I've seen it all
I've seen it all
Many times before

Maybe misery (many times before)
is what I need to keep my sanity (many times before)
And I don't mean if things don't go my way (many times before)
I'll be pleased to meet you (many times before)

And maybe yesterday (many times before)
Was a day that I could get away (many times before)
Now today I'm stuck in sanity (many times before)
And I've seen it all
I've seen it all
Many times before

Only good church is Charlotte Church because at least she can dance and sing.

[Vajra]

The only part of the chicken that's that considered meat is the blood, poop, or some other type of excrement. Maybe you can make blood sausage out of the blood aka black pudding know wut i mean :D.

[Jefe]

Can't eat red meat, that's all.

[Araelus]

In the original Latin text of Pope Paul VI's apostolic constitution Paenitemini we find the following:

Quote:
Abstinentiae lex vetat carne vesei, non autem ovis, lacticiniis et quibuslibet condimentis etiam ex adipe animalium [III:1].

(Translation): The law of abstinence forbids the use of meat, but not of eggs, the products of milk, or condiments made of animal fat [III:1].

The word used for meat is carnis. In modern English, the word meat can refer to any animal flesh. But, in the Latin cited here, it refers to mammals and birds only. So, fish, seafood, amphibians, and insects are permitted (assuming you want to eat some of them); but mammals and fowls are not.

There you go.

[MF Perm tha Fineass]

It's only meat if you swallow. I've got something for you to try that's ok for Lent.

[Haiko]

Can't eat red meat, that's all.

That's where I'm lost...Chicken isn't consider red meat so that how I been raise thinking chicken is ok from my parents.
