fides' Jack Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 I realized it after I finished my meal. And then I realized that I needed to go to confession. I even knew it was Ash Wednesday, and it didn't occur to me that Ash Wednesday = no meat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_rev Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 I did not eat meat, but I was at the bank and they had a basket of suckers, I took one and it wasn't until I was half over that I'm like "croutons I should be fasting..." I only had a tuna fish sandwich all day, so only one small meal, so I felt that I stayed within the parameters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think you need to get to confession. Just mention it next time. But if you deliberately popped a Slim Jim in your mouth, knowing full well it was a day of fasting and abstinence... well, then yeah... Mmmmmm.... Slim Jim.

Didn't remember that I was fasting (partially -- I can't fully fast due to health issues) until about 3 minutes later. And Lil Red is 100% correct -- if it was a true oversight (and not on purpose) then there is absolutely no sin. At least I did enjoy the 3-musketteers. Not on purpose, but I have to admit it was good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fides' Jack Posted February 24, 2012 Author Share Posted February 24, 2012 Egg, while technically probably meat, is not ruled out as meat by the Church, so I think you're fine with egg.[quote name='Lil Red' timestamp='1330124848' post='2392540'] wait, this is my first post in this thread. lol [/quote] Yeah, but you're still right!
