What good is happiness and health gonna do ya?
You'll have to spend the rest of your life maintaining it! ;-)
Catholic Church teaching states it is not okay for Catholics to go to other religions or pagan practices in order to gain health. There is enough that the Church allows in order to be healthy but where there’s not it’s not okay to desert ones faith for earthly comfort. It’s kind of the basis of Christianity
I’ve already told Beau that THIS is how it’s going to play out:
I’m going to eat what I want and drink my Dirty Martinis on Friday Nights and pretty much laze around (AFTER Farm Chores!) until I’m 70.
THEN - I’m going to suffer a heart attack or a stroke, which I (miraculously) survive.
THEN - I’m going to be one of those Grannies that runs Marathons and Climbs Mountains and Swims the English Channel...and he’d BETTER be able to keep up with me!
Plan the WORK, then work the PLAN, Baby! ;)
