Not eating meat on Fridays is an invention of the church. Jesus never said that.
You rang?
Is there already a !beetlejuicing on a lemmy instance?
Strangely, there wasn’t, but I finally created !beetlejuicing@lemm.ee.
Please feel free to post this there.
Capybaras are classified as fish in Catholic canon law, on the grounds that they spend their lives in water. I’m guessing that a party of conquistadors was on the verge of starvation and got their priest to petition the Vatican to issue a retroactive ruling in their favour.
Iirc, both Jewish and Islamic law are explicit that if you can break kosher/eating halal if you have no other options for food. Keeping yourself alive is more important.
Is there not something similar in catholic theology?
