Okey dokey. Worry about your own purposes and less about other people's.

I think both God and the saints would tell you it is unwise to provoke a pregnant woman.

Once when I was a Sister we were visiting a home on a Lenten Friday.  The hostess happened to serve meat. We ate it. Franciscans eat what is set before them.

 

 

You would make an exceptional philosopher king.

My sword, my pen, and my very life are for the Church you endeavor to undermine. You'll not attempt to rebuke Her with Her Lover's words and have me say nothing. She is faithful. He is faithful. I am not, but I will always try to be.

Kid, become a Catholic before you try to step to me about your love for the church. And get a few days on the phorum before you presume to lecture people about Catholicism, or worse, about the phorum.

Twenty-four years ago, I was born. But I was born dead. The Church and Her Lord saved me all those years ago through Baptism. Leaving Her was not my choice and neither was returning to Her. Still, you'll not rebuke Her, especially not with His Words and me say nothing--me, say what you will--it's apt to be true.

I ain't the guy. Go find someone else. You seem to be having a romantic fantasy with the idea of being a Christian,a Catholic, or whatever it is you are at the moment. I've been there...I hope you grow out of it, learn the weightier matters of the law, and maybe you can stop speaking in purple prose.

 

With that said, I'm out. I apologize for speaking harshly, but just letting you know that some of us have been on this board 10 years or more. Don't speak to people as though you run things around here or determine who people are in relation to the church.

Yes. Well. Jesus isn't some idea I came across a few minutes ago and thought to try on for size, to pick up for a moment. He has been the center of my every thought and the reached for goal of my every action since I was five. If that offends you then I'm sorry, but I just simply don't care. As for this phorum--bah, Jesus doesn't start phorums--and Jesus doesn't tell people to do that which has been explicitly forbidden by His Church.

 

And purple prose is clever. It made me smile.

 

God Bless you.

 

And Bl Pier Giorgio Frassati (who I did just meet), pray for us. :)

Hmmm...interesting paragraph on the explanation of fasting and abstinence from EWTN:

 

Those who are excused from fast or abstinence Besides those outside the age limits, those of unsound mind, the sick, the frail, pregnant or nursing women according to need for meat or nourishment,  manual laborers according to need, guests at a meal who cannot excuse themselves without giving great offense or causing enmity and other situations of moral or physical impossibility to observe the penitential discipline.
