Why call yourself a Catholic?My dad and I went at it at lunch because he insinuated that I was a wishy-washy Catholic for eating meat on Fridays. Poor mum was sitting right in the middle of it, so she just sat and kept quiet. He was being a total ass by citing Church doctrine and law and whatevers, rejecting my answer that the Church also amended that so-called "law" to not just meat but any other form of sacrifice. He said that logic was ridiculous and what is it that I gave up instead of meat. Why should I tell him? He'll just pass his own judgment and say its not worth the replacement.
So i asked: Are you attacking ME? If you are, then fine. I don't pretend to be a great Catholic, that's your own perception. Sorry to disappoint. But the governing logic of the law still applies - people have the power to determine and discern the other ways in which they can sacrifice if meat is not a big deal to them. Still he said that was illogical cos as far as he is concerned, the Church never withdrew that law (obviously showing that he has NO bloody idea that the concepts "withdraw" and "amend" - which I am asserting - CLEARLY mean different things). And does that mean I can go for monday mass and replace it with a sunday mass? I said: That's exactly what Jesus meant when he said "spirit of the law" vs letter of the law. Why so calculative? If i can't make it for sunday or sat, then going for a monday mass means I am MINUS 1 compulsory Mass? How are you EVER going to replace THAT? After you DIE? FUCKWEED!!!! (OK, didn't say that last part).
First of all, that is NOT "LAW" as in DOCTRINE you ass, and it only applies to this region of the world.
Second,
LOOK WHO's TALKING you HYPOCRITE. Someone who always says "Religion is between me and GOD, and all the rituals and rubbish in Church is just for man to appeal to God. It doesn't matter." - I can show you what the Church says about that man! MYOPIC PRICK!
I'd ask you to kiss my ass if it was hairy but it's not.
