[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Former Catholic (now nondenominational Christian) here to say, this is just one of those random “rules” the Catholic Church made up and still keeps to control people. I especially love when, for example, St Patrick’s Day falls on a Friday during Lent and the bishops are all “special dispensation!” so people can eat their corned beed hash. Sounds legit![/quote] It's not a random rule just because you've decided to join a church that has tossed all religious tradition in the garbage. Fasting on Fridays is mentioned as far back as the Didache. [/quote] Whatever, have fun tithing to an institution that only “counts” your attendance at a Mass if you sit through every part of it (every single week as well as “days of obligation”), forces you to confess your sins to flawed men instead of directly to God, and protected (and continues to protect) pedos. [/quote] I agree with this. I would add that I did not betray my Catholic beliefs, but the church has betrayed all Catholics. I doubt God is pleased with what goes on inside the Catholic Church. Many religions have severe dysfunction but God gave us a free will and I chose to not participate in the hypocrisy and confusion. [/quote]
