IF YOU CLAIM TO BE CATHOLIC AND YET YOU DIDN'T ATTEND CATECHISM CLASS TO KNOW WHY ASH WEDNESDAY AND GOOD FRIDAY ARE DAYS OF ABSTINENCE THEN YOU ARE JUST A CHURCH GOER AND NOT A CATHOLIC AND FOR THOSE "CHRISTIANS" CRITICIZING THE HOLY MOTHER CHURCH HOPE YOU PEOPLE WON'T CELEBRATE EASTER BECAUSE EASTER DATES ARE ALWAYS FIXED BY THE CATHOLIC CHURCH[/size][size=8pt][/size][size=8pt] 4 Likes 1 Share |

idealsico:Yes, but the book of James said that work without faith is dead. Not just being born again but also working towards the goal which is salvation. I can tell you that abstaining from meat for the purpose of christ's suffering makes me understand how much he loves me and keep me strong for working towards salvation. 2 Likes 1 Share |

amanda2013:true talk my brother. The lent is all about abstaining from those things you love most or doing that give you satisfaction of the flesh. Not only meat you can abstain from, things like alcohol smoking or any other thing thing that glorifies the flesh too much. Catholics never say you must abstain from meat or you would be judge by the meat you eat. The reason why people talk of meat is that it is something most people eat and rarely can do without. OP its a personal conviction. |

Keep asking? I am sure you will ask one day 'why are we not allowed to have sex as we like and under any condition?' That is if you also don't ask why we obey laws. |

Zitoangels: If he leaves the "catholic church" as you put it would that make him a candidate of hell? We are known as the church of Jesus Christ which means we are the gathering of believers of Jesus Christ....does the catholic church make up all the gathering? Keep on following men and not God... |

Pidggin: What has abstaining from meat got to do with Christ? For those who say its a form of fasting so one can draw closer to God the question I ask is this... Have you been far from Him? Walking with God is a thing of faith and not of works. Do you know what he has sacrified all year round besides meat? How do you measure sacrifice? Is meat now the yardstick? |

Meat has been generally seen as something that gives people pleasure and satisfaction whenever we consume it. But abstaining from meat on ash Wednesday is a form of abstinence dim fit by the church for everybody not to eat for effective participation n communion system. The church might decide to say everybody should abstain from garri, fish, even water its left for her. I̶̲̥̅̊n̶̲̥̅̊ the book of prophet Joel even the animals where asked to fast too while the people aя̩̥̊ε̲̣̣̣̥ to put on sack clothes n ashes. Biblically speaking there has never been a place where people aя̩̥̊ε̲̣̣̣̥ asked to abstain from meat except the unclean ones. The reason I think the church has categorize consumption of meat as sin is because its an obligation n contrary to it is Sin against the law of the church. Which is a sin of disobedience. 1 Like |

emmyw: emmyw:why not say what you know? Catholics avoid meat during this period is because it called fasting and abstinence. Fasting is the normal thing which we do away with food for some period while abstinence is when leave things that we love most just to undergo so physical pain. Now the church made it mandatory that we all should abstain from meat just to partake in the lenten period cos not everyone can fast like the pregnant women, elderly people, sport men and women, children, and so on but everyone can abstain from meat. In addition personally the church also encourages everyone to abstain from some pleasure for the sake of Christ like instead of taking a bus for a few kilometer we can treak then use the money to pay the needy, also deny the body of some fun. That is why the Catholic call it lent. Lent is fasting and abstinence I |

emmyw:please it was not because Christ died on Friday. This was the explanation we were told when we were young cos the teacher knew our iq was low but if u tell a pentecostal what u said it will be a mockery of the church. Lent =fasten + abstinence. Unlike pentecostal who only do fasting. Why Catholic added abstinence is because of those who can't fast as u know that we all are all member of the body called Christ 1 Like |

julioralph:you ended up not answering the question. In your wisdom, you chose not to because you don't have an answer. If all Catholic teachings have their root in the Bible, relate it to the topic under discussion. Also, marry Catholic teachings with this; Matthew 6: 16-18. |
