Do catholics eat blood?

[kimber1]

Like you even have to ask!!!

"Bathsheba -- the woman who bathed in questionable locations."

ROFL!!

 

[holyorders]

Amen my sista!!!!!


btw...have you ever grilled a whole bunch of garlic and then smeared it all over that juicy rare t-bone?

I'm eating at your place tonight!

 

[Quijote]

I wouldn't eat bloodpudding. But I can't resist a rarely grilled t-bone.

LOL!

That was me ordering at restaurants before getting married:

"Sir, how would you like your stake? well done, medium, or rare?",

"Mooing please".

What would a catholic say if i offered him or her, the food bloodpudding we eat in scandinvia.

Would he say:

a) No thanks!! blood aint no food; or
b) Jesus has proclaimed that nothing that enters the mouth is unpure.

.

I would say:

c) No thanks! that doesn't sound very appetizing

I would, however, eat the Mexican dish called "Moronga" which is meat cooked in/with blood.

 

[Da_Funkey_Gibbon]

I love bloodpudding, so my answer would be

 

[faerieevaH]

Bloodpudding btw is not pudding but a sort of sausage... eaten in Belgium too and though not my absolute favorite it's really not as disgusting as it sounds! Doesn't taste like blood at all.

 

[Gwendolyn]

Do you eat pork? Because I'm pretty sure that Leviticus also says not to eat pork.

Is there something that you'd like to know? Some direct question that we could answer without any confusion? That way, we'd at least be able to give you a more detailed explanation.

What is your arguements.

When jesus said all food was clean he didn't still make void of the law.

Leviticus: He who eats blood shall be cut off from his people

Besides, the law of food, is not about unpureness. it is about abominations. Eating a dog, camel, shrimps, are not according to the law; 'unpure', it is an 'abomination'.

Over that, it was the jews harsh laws, that said that if a man eats with dirty hands he will become unpure... and that was why jesus said that all food is pure.

But did he make void of the law?; "He who eats blood shall be cut off from his people".

If americans wonder whats wrong with us swedes, you have the answer there according to me.

We eat blood, and thus; We are cut off from the rest of the world,

Personally, i don't eat blood. that is sin.

I can tell you about a very catholic farmer tradition.

Take a chicken. Hang it with the paws up. Kill the chicken cutting his thoat. Let the blood fall down in some flour. Bake shortly the flour full of blood. Eat it. Wonderfull taste. Dark red colour. A very sweet and natural taste.

Unpurity cames only form the heart. Not from the chickens. We are not muslims.

In a old farmer culture, without artificial flavour or saccarine, the only way to have something sweet to conserve is: honey, wine or blood

Do you like gravy Lindstrom? Guess what that is?

"It is my judgment, therefore, that we should not make it difficult for the Gentiles who are turning to God. 20Instead we should write to them, telling them to abstain from food polluted by idols, from sexual immorality, from the meat of strangled animals and from blood. 21For Moses has been preached in every city from the earliest times and is read in the synagogues on every Sabbath." (Acts 15: 19-21)

I might be wrong but I think that Eastern Rite Catholics do not eat blood for this reason.

Exiting this thread rapidly

[colleen]

Is Jesus' precious blood impure? His resurrected body corrupt? Certainly not! The fact that he gives such a delicacy daily to the likes of me is incomprehensible - I agree. But please, do nothing to take away from His glory by deriding his decision to dwell among us as flesh.

Blood is not food.

The only Blood that IS food is Christ's. To which if we do not take, we will not have Eternal life.

Personally, I like me some blutwurst

First of all. I did not mean, at any time, sound like i compare catholicisim to wicca.

My apologize.

I am thinking about converting to catholicism my self.


And jesus blood cannot be compared to animals blood.

John 6 tells us that we should eat his flesh and drink his blood, yes.

But apart from that:

Is it ok to eat blood?

Do you eat pork? Because I'm pretty sure that Leviticus also says not to eat pork.

Is there something that you'd like to know? Some direct question that we could answer without any confusion? That way, we'd at least be able to give you a more detailed explanation

I do not eat pork, i am a vegitarian. But based upon pauls words, "don't let yourself be condemnd for what you eat"

St paul often said that we should not condmen eachother for what we eat. (i am a vegitarian myself). But on the other hand you need to take that as it is.

Paul also forbid us to eat meat from sacrifices to demons.

(still not condmenation???)

ofcourse.

The question araise. We cannot eat meat from animals that have been sacrificed to demons even though we should not condmen eachother for what we eat.

Is it still ok to eat blood?

God has stricktly forbidden us to eat blood.

He has not forbidden us to eat pork. but he has said that that should be acconted as an abomination, and be dispicable.
