ukok said:An hour before Mass start's. But i don't eat breakfast anyway, so on Sunday that isn't a problem for me , though i have to ensure that i refrain from drinking coffee after 9:30 am.
Water is allowed but I do not know about coffee or tea. I always drink tea untill the moment I walk out of the door. I hope that is okay.DanielLionsDen said:Should you fast from coffee and tea as well??
ukok said:yepthat is my understanding. Water however, is allowed.
ukok said:Daniel, if you were'nt aware that you shouldn't have done it you really couldn't have done anything about it
I think it was something about if a tree falls and no one is around to hear it.....clskinner said:Some friends (my priest-friend and consecrated-virgin-to-be-friend) and I were talking about this very thing one day. He uses tea as a medicine for headaches. He's not addicted to the caffeine, but it treats a real medical condition. Then we were talking about cigarettes. It's not a food or a drink.
Of course we talk about absurd ethical situations too: If a man was planning to commit suicide and jumped off the roof, and another man was shooting a gun, accidentally striking and killing the jumper, would the jumper's soul be in peril? He intended to commit suicide, but was unable because he was shot. And would the shooter's soul be in danger because he murdered a man, though without full intent. Ok, so we're theological dorks. I admit it.
What was the OP's question again?
as a convert to Catholicism i can tell you that i found out i'd got thirty five years of wrong doing on my conscience...so how bad was that !DanielLionsDen said:Yea, I guess...... but its just annoying when you find out you've been doing something wrong.
Compared to some of the other things I've done wrong, I guess this one isn't so bad....
