This is a perfect example of why the Latin Church should embrace the concept of economia. The ridiculous obsession of eating XYZ and afraid of sinning has gotten completely out of control. I knew someone who was afraid he sinned b/c he had gum before church. This type of thinking is so incredibly damaging. And I will add that this type of thinking is also found in the East at times…usually from over zealous converts on the internet; the “Hyperdox”. They often accuse people of not being devout enough if you don’t go vegan for the fasts etc.I can understand why the Latin Catholic church relaxed the fasting rule because of the number of threads we get on here, especially in Lent, about can I eat this or that and how much can I eat and I ate a sandwich so am I in mortal sin, etc. People don’t understand “how to fast”, they are only concerned with whether taking an extra bite of food put them into mortal sin.
