    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.

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

        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.

          And good luck if you’re allergic to fish

          I’m glad I’m not the only one who immediately hears that every time the word beaver pops up.

      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, much too old for the average priest.

      Emblem on the rim makes it look like a Lincoln

      To be fair, he’s a priest. He only knows about Chryslers and vehicles whose names end in –mobile.

    Well there’s no Corolla in the picture, so I’m guessing he DID eat it.

    He can eat the 1993 and 1995 Corollas though

    This suggests he could eat it were he not a catholic priest

        Well it’s not so much that I won’t be stopped but that I won’t get acclaim for it, I suppose.

      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
