Who's indulging?

Me, I'm back on the junk food. It's been too long.

OI!

The Tridium ain't over yet...but you do you.

I don't know what that means, but good Friday is always what I was told in my RC school is the day we get to go back to our grub.

Okay so , weird question but... is there anything in Catholicism about promises to not eat something/do something like.. forever?

Ever since I can remember my mom has said she doesn't eat pork as some kind of .. personal decision or something, and I think its a religious thing but I've never been able to figure out what it is. I know she was raised Catholic because her mom is catholic but.... never been able to figure it out.

RC here, and from what I understand, technically (or at least I hear this) you're supposed to abstain from meat Wednesdays and Fridays (or just Fridays? can't recall) all year long. Some old school Catholics might still do this. I'm not sure how the Orthodox roll...As far as pork goes, maybe she's harkening to the OT, to the pork being unclean meat and following that?

I dunno about forever. You're not supposed to eat meat on Fridays during Lent (some people go the whole forty days without eating meat and others abstain from dairy as well), but some people do fasting and abstinence outside of Lent for a variety of reasons (self-denial being one of them). As far as I know, pork's not a forbidden food in Catholicism outside of Lent.

Okay so , weird question but... is there anything in Catholicism about promises to not eat something/do something like.. forever?

Yes, kind of. Like... I haven't heard of that specifically, but there's definitely a tradition of Catholics making vows as acts of devotion. The most famous and intense is going to be the vows of monastic life - monks and nuns in the Church take various solemn vows (depending on the order in question) of poverty, chastity, obedience, etc.

Lay people can do similar things as well, but it's much less formalized and can be a pretty personal things. They can be for a lifetime, or for shorter periods, and they can be about all range of things. So it could just be a vow of devotion that your mom took at some point for some reason or other. Or maybe she just doesn't like pork - it could also be that.

I’m nor religious and didn’t grow up knowing many religious people, but I know Catholics used to abstain from meat on Fridays, but that was maybe rescinded in Vatican II or something, because I’ve never noticed many Catholics who do these days. Or maybe they just don’t make a big deal about it. IIRC, fish didn’t count as meat and various sea/water critters were classified as fish by the Church, so it was okay to eat capybaras and stuff.

From what I remember, Vatican II said was that you could abstain from something other than meat on Fridays, but you're still supposed to be abstaining from something.

I don't celebrate. But I've been off milk products for this week. Looking forward to enjoying cheese and chocolate on Sunday.

Can I pry and ask why you been off Dairy?

And yeah, tomorrow is going to be an orgy of chocolate.

Been having stomach issues. I'm slightly lactose intolerant, so I figured it might be that. We're going to a really fancy Easter buffet, and I want to be able to enjoy.

Didn't know you were religious

I'm not really. It's not a religious observance so much as a personal test. It's good to abstain. Good for the soul, whatever you conceive that to be, to reaffirm that you are in charge of your desires and not the other way around.
