There are dietary laws for Catholics, specifically about fasting and abstaining from meat consumption, but they vary wildly by region. For example, Canadian Catholics are permitted to eat meat on Friday if they perform an act of charity, read the Bible, or pray more than usual. Just make sure you’re Canadian or else God will be mad.
Who can relate?

Some other interesting Lent exceptions include gator, beaver, and muskrat, being considered “fish” theologically speaking.

Glad I don’t have to give up eating beaver for Lent

There’s a case to be made for them all being fish biologically speaking, too.
Of course, that case would also mean making chicken, beef, and all the other meat people typically eat would be fish, which might defeat the intent of the rule.

Originally Christians aren’t even supposed to eat pork like the Jews. But then the Romans be like 🤌 then God said “Okay okay chill, pork’s back on the menu except on Friday’s”

1994 would mean this corolla is potentially 31, juch too old for the average priest.

So, priest only eat babies is what you are saying?
MutilationWave@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Not the whole baby.
dingdongmetacarples@lemmy.world 1 month ago
That’s not a Corolla.

Emblem on the rim makes it look like a Lincoln

Also the rest of the car makes it look like a Lincoln Towncar 😂

To be fair, he’s a priest. He only knows about Chryslers and vehicles whose names end in –mobile.
Professorozone@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Well there’s no Corolla in the picture, so I’m guessing he DID eat it.
AFC1886VCC@reddthat.com 1 month ago
He can eat the 1993 and 1995 Corollas though

Father David Michael? Never trust someone with two first names.
PunnyName@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Especially Ryan George. That guy is … sketchy!
BugleFingers@lemmy.world 1 month ago
This suggests he could eat it were he not a catholic priest

I really hope “kid dick” is listed.
It probably isn’t

Damn, I could never be a priest, I can’t give up my weekly 1994 Toyota Corolla treat.

Nobody is going to stop you.
MadBob@feddit.nl 1 month ago
Well it’s not so much that I won’t be stopped but that I want acclaim for it.
tetris11@lemmy.ml 1 month ago
Neo did that, but he was machine jesus, so unless you’ve got a pair of sunglasses and some woah!'s handy, you might just want to stick to the latex

Ah, my woahs are in my other jeans.

Be careful though. Earl’s crazy. He ate one of my cars once. Yeah, the whole car. Like, with a fork.

Automobiles fall under the same exception as iron chariots (Judges 1:19).
