[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Jesus died on Friday. To commemorate the death of his body, people traditionally abstained from flesh. Fish are cold-blooded and traditionally not considered flesh. It also dates back to the Jewish kosher law where fish are not considered meat either. Some bishops have made dispensations for certain animals. Like in New Orleans, the bishop permits alligator to be eaten on Fridays. There’s a diocese in Michigan (I think) where they are dispensed to eat beaver! [/quote] So if the flesh of animals is similar enough to the flesh of human for the symbolism, then why is meat eating so widely accepted as normal? Some amount of meat for the sustenance of life could be justified, but the daily eating of meat as staple to one's diet on most every day except Fridays during Lent seems a little meaningless. [/quote] It’s a religion. Lots of things don’t make sense.[/quote] Bingo[/quote]
