Is this gluttony?

[PolarGuy]

I exiled myself from this board for a day, just to escape the warped theology so prevalent.

I came back and found this thread.

I see I didn’t miss much.

Perhaps it is a mortal sin to eat the frozen dinner anything other than frozen solid, like in “risky business.”

This exile will become longer.

What are you saying?

Bookcat, 1ke, Fr. Vincent Serpa, etc. all do not use “warped theology.”

On the matter of cooking frozen food: It is not grave matter to warm up frozen dinner. That’s being scrupulous.

Heck, I sincerely doubt that it’s even venial matter. That’s like saying cooking freshly caught fish from the sea is gluttonous. Christ definitely ate cooked fish… and He never sinned, as He is God.

I know you are just criticizing others for stating that it is a mortal sin to eat frozen dinner anything other than frozen solid. Don’t worry, the point of CAF is to “explain and defend the Faith.”

There are plenty of qualified people who are doing that right now as we speak.

“Explain and defend the faith” is not what generally is seen here…it’s more like “ask absurd questions and talk about how you can’t stop masturbating.”

This question is most assuredly absurd.

Is it gluttony to make your food more pleasurable to eat such as using toppings or the microwave to heat it up?

No. God gave us appetites in order to enjoy food. Food draws people together and helps bond families. Jesus ate with family and friends. He drank good wine at the wedding.

Gluttony is placing food or any object at the center of one’s life to the exclusion of others and of God.

Gluttony is placing food or any other object as an end instead of the means.

Hoarding is a form of gluttony. An inordinate desire to obtain and hold and consume
