    And the "no meat on Fridays" only applies during Lent. Unless you're like, an uber-strict mega Catholic.

    On Ash Wednesday, the Fridays of Lent and Good Friday some say that the Church law prohibits both red meat and chicken. Others will disagree. On those days, Catholics who have completed their 14th year may not eat meat. That includes chicken, which the Church considers to be meat. My family doesn't eat meat on any Fridays. We eat fish.

    Re: merry ash wednesday

    Ok, I understand now. Thanks. I didn't realize that there were Catholics that never ate meat on Fridays not matter if it was lent or not. I grew up in the Methodist and Lutheran church so we participated in Ash Wednesday and we usually tried to give up something for lent, but we didn't do the no meat on Fridays thing. Now that I attend a Christian church (with no denominational affiliations) we don't really do any of that.

    But you can eat muskrat (and capibara?) because they have been declared water animals. I know about muskrats, because the diocese in Wisconsin allows it. Friday fish fry's become muskrat fry's during Lent.
    Everything progressives do is aimed at weakening democracy, capitalism and the social and cultural institutions that support those things...... They are about subjugating people and being a ruling class.

    That's because us Lutherans knew better than the Pope believers to reduce the amount or type of food to eat and nailed a bunch of revisions to a door in Germany...

    Where does all the rubbing ashes on your forehead come from? I have never seen it mentioned in the Bible.

    capybara.

    The muskrat is a semi-aquatic rodent native to North American wetlands. The capybara (of an entirely different family than the muskrat) is currently the largest rodent on earth and its scientific name is greek for "water hog". They have slightly webbed feet and are also semi-aquatic, native to South America and generally preferring wooded areas near bodies of water.
    Muskrats are mainly herbivores, but small animals make up about 5% of their diet. The capybara, on the other hand, is a coprophagous herbivore (...look it up) and sometimes regurgitate their food and chew it like cud.


    ...probably much more than you wanted to know about either animal.

    capybara:

    Re: merry ash wednesday

    My first year in Chicago, I went out for lunch and started noticing most all of the people had X's on their foreheads. I was totally confused - I thought I could be a Charles Manson thing, or some radio station was having some type of contest..... something just wasn't right!

    Finally, when I returned to the office, I mentioned to a coworker that I saw all of these people with X's on their foreheads and was wondering if she knew what was going on.......

    Boy, did I feel stupid after she told me what the X's on the foreheads were all about. Geesh, what did I know, I was from Oklahoma and I don't recall X's being THAT abundant......

    So, that's my story and I'm sticking to it!
