Question: From what do vegetarians abstain on Friday?
he should just let them choose what they wish to abstain from on Fridays....many love fish these days and it is no sacrifice at all.
Good idea. Maybe it will be a trend.
From what do vegetarians abstain on Friday?Carnal knowledge.
I have no idea what vegetarians do ... perhaps one will show up and tell us.
As for liking fish ... that would be me.
The Friday Abstinence is still a pennance ... for one thing, it’s a constraint ... for another, there are plenty of ‘penitential’ fish dishes: tuna casserole comes to mind. If even that is insufficiently penitential for someone, nobody says you have to eat fish.
All of us engaged in the same penitential act also serves as a sign of unity.
Finally, I note that someone already has the “Irrelevant Scripture Generator” fired up. I recommend ignoring it. YMMV.
They have to, as a penance, eat the juiciest steak they can find in the local supermarket that week. If they don’t, they are risking hellfire.
Short answer? LOL, nothing, that's the 'beauty' of it.
Wow, this is huge. And Steubenville borders on western PA, this will at least get people talking in my area and other Dioceses too. Of course, in many homes (and I try) we have meatless Fridays most of the year.
Grains.
I abstain from grains twice a month, sometimes more.
