Here’s a quote from the link:good link. You should read it… I don’t see EATING anything as a mortal sin!!!
Thanks for the link. .
secondexodus.com/html/catholicdefinitions/fridayabstinence.htm
This is the quote: “Since 1966, All Fridays during Lent remain obligatory days of abstinence from meat on pain of mortal sin. "
Scroll down the page to CHurch teaching and you will see:
"Church Teaching
As the centuries passed, the original requirement to fast twice a week was reduced. But, during the Church’s entire history, until 1966, all Fridays have been obligatory days of abstinence from meat on pain of mortal sin.
Since 1966, All Fridays during Lent remain obligatory days of abstinence from meat on pain of mortal sin. All other Fridays remain days of penance. "
Of course, my point still holds whether it is a mortal sin or a venial sin to eat meat in certain dioceses on Good Friday. The point is that this teaching does not agree with the Scriptural statement that it is not what goes into the mouth of the man which defiles him. In the case of eating meat on Good Friday, if you put a hot dog in your mouth, you would be committing a sin, and therefore you are being defiled by putting the meat into your mouth.
