Meat on Good Friday?

[Rumpel]

Do you eat meat on Good Friday?

 

[americanwoman]

I used to be very strict about not eating meat on Fridays, especially Good Friday, but these days I only do it for the amazing fish fries not any kind of Catholic reason. A couple of my relatives are still very devoted and do a complete fast on Good Friday - now that's old school!

I grew up in a Polish-Catholic community (was even raised by nuns for a bit and thought about becoming one myself for a time!) so we were always about the fish fry on Fridays! It's a tradition I carried on for a very long time.

Now I'm lucky to remember to buy food, let alone what day it is

Please turn off YouTube and go breathe fresh air, let the sun shine on you or the rain fall on your face. Dance in a meadow, read your bible on a rock by the sea. Hug a loved one, eat ice cream, go for a bike ride if you can.

But don't spend your remaining days on Earth watching YouTube videos.

The question is about Good Friday, not about God Friday.

There's only one Good Friday, but all Fridays are God Friday.

 

[Loulit01]

How can a Friday be good without meat?

 

[JRTurner]

bicycle. good advice.

YouTube won't help you achieve that goal.

Instead, you're just forcing them to make more YouTube videos so they can keep the dollars rolling in.

This was the reason shops used to be closed on Sundays. Not because they didn't want people shopping--but so the workers could have a day of rest, as was directed in the bible.

Let the YouTubers go for a bike ride too

Where did God say don't eat meat on Good Friday?

God didn't. It's a sacrifice that is made in reverence to Jesus.

Why don’t Catholics eat meat on Fridays? - Archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis

www.archspm.org

Since Jesus sacrificed his flesh for us on Good Friday, we refrain from eating flesh meat in his honor on Fridays. Flesh meat includes the meat of mammals and poultry, and the main foods that come under this heading are beef, pork, chicken, and turkey. While flesh is prohibited, the non-flesh products of these animals are not, things like milk, cheese, butter, eggs, and sauces made from animal fats.

Could god cause an eclipse that covered 90% of the earth?

Seems like he would do that if he really wanted us to listen. It would certainly make some people think.

@Rumpel my mother was an Italian-Catholic refugee fleeing Musso and my father was a young Jewish refugee from Germany when they met in New York City in the late 1930's.
My mother's Italian parents liked my father almost immediately when they met him, and my paternal grandfather liked my mom immediately but my paternal grandmother was another story.

First, she threatened to jump out the window if they married, to which her husband responded, "We're on the Second Floor, you'll break a leg and we will be the laughingstock of the building!"

Finally the day came where my father brought my mom home to MEET THE PARENTS. It was a Friday and in those days the Catholic prohibition against eating meat on that day was still very much in full force. I guess this is where my paternal grandmother found a chink in the armor and she made CHICKEN for dinner, in a classic passive-aggressive future mother in law move.

Dinner commenced and Mom was pushing the food around and around on the plate, and Grandpa finally asked "Don't you like the food, dear?" and then suddenly he realized what had happened. He took Grandma into the kitchen...to which she protested innocence, claiming to not have realized the prohibition, which was nonsense, she knew.

So, Grandpa came back and told a little white lie: "My dear, before I became a banker I was studying to be a rabbi, now close your eyes for a moment" whereupon he waved his hands over the plate and intoned: "You're NOT a chicken, you're a fish, you're NOT a chicken, you're a fish, you're NOT a chicken, you're a fish, okay let's eat!"

And so she ate, and then went to Confession in church the next morning.
Her priest said "Alby, you said the father claimed he was going to be a rabbi, yes? And he blessed the chicken, yes? God UNDERSTANDS, my dear, you committed no sin."

i mean yes he could.
