Yummy Chicken :)

So, why is Chicken considered meat during lent?

because poultry is still flesh

 

[Abiel]

OK. I think I am getting it. No meat on Fridays. Chicken is poultry not meat. SO chicken is allowed on Fridays. Except the rules toughen up for Lent. Am I getting there?

No- chicken is flesh; we can not eat flesh (we say bye bye to the flesh during lent) whether that flesh be red meat or white meat from animals or fowl.

So...flesh of any sort is not allowed in Lent. Flesh of the meaty sort is not allowed om Fridays outside lent. Flesh of the poultry sort is allowed on Fridays outside lent. Flesh is primarily land based. Water based creatures are not flesh. Is that right?

 

[Abiel]

...and thank you for being patient with me.

During Lent, we may not eat meat on Fridays. On the other days of Lent, we may eat meat, unless we choose "no meat" as our Lenten sacrifice.

Outside of Lent, in the US, we must do penance on Fridays. We may abstain from meat, or we can eat meat and do some other penance.

"Meat" includes mammals and birds. Fish, reptiles, amphibians, and insects are not meat.

Thank you. That is clear to me.

You do not have to fast outside of lent. Fast are voluntary outside of lent. Only on Fridays during lent we abstain from meat of all kinds. Outside of lent you can eat meant on Friday if you want.

Chicken is meat, fish isn't.

Hey Shelb5

I just read this on anohter post...Paul S showed this link: http://www.catholic.org/clife/lent/abfast.php

On the Fridays outside of Lent the U.S. bishops conference obtained the permission of the Holy See for Catholics in the US to substitute a penitential, or even a charitable, practice of their own choosing. They must do some penitential/charitable practice on these Fridays. For most people the easiest practice to consistently fulfill will be the traditional one, to abstain from meat on all Fridays of the year. During Lent abstinence from meat on Fridays is obligatory in the United States as elsewhere.

It seems like even though they do not need to fast, something needs to be done durint the "Other Fridays". I only realised this today, so I'm going to try and see if the Canadian Council of Bishops have a similar permission. I'l lactually speak to my preist in our next meeting, since I have untill the end of Lent to figure it out

Peace in Christ!

In accordance with the prescriptions of canon 1253, the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops decrees that the days of fast and abstinence in Canada are Ash Wednesday and Good Friday. Fridays are days of abstinence, but Catholics can substitute special acts of charity or piety on this day.

It looks like Canadians must do something every Friday, but must only abstain on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday.

 

[JeffreyLloyd]

There are Catholics in Canada?

I didn't even know they had computers!

My mother in law saw a meat truck pull up to TB once. The package said, "Grade 3 meat, but fit for human consumption", my family does not eat a Taco Bell.

Yeah, we have a polar bear running on a belt that winds up a rudementary generator. This in turn drives the PC and the TV. But the igloo will melt if I turn the heat on

Actually here's a pic of what downtown Vancouver's weather is like today!

Be prepared to he jealous!

Peace in Christ!

 

[JeffreyLloyd]

Wow, that looks nice!

 

[Alexis OCA]

Isn't chicken made of meat all year round

ROFL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Abiel]

HEY!!! No joke intended! I was genuinely puzzled! Seems to me that we all talk in code which those of us 'in' understand and those of us 'out' either don't understand, or misunderstand and get offended by. My church (Salvation Army) is stuffed with jargon, that can really confuse new comers. I seek to understand.

But I guess it was funny!

St_Joseph_Cupertino,

I'm jealous ! I'm moving to Vancouver!
