Re: Yom Kippur

[mekkio]

How cool is Yom Kippur? A 25 hour fast/atonement and BOOM! Clean sinless slate for the new year.

I've got Lent. 40 Days of guilt with Fridays of, "God, fish sticks again? Christ, I want a burger."

Re: Yom Kippur

Trust me it ain't that easy. I've always seen Yom Kippur as the day where Hashem is like "you can atone all you want but I'm still measuring how good you were against how bad you were this year. And then I'm gonna decide whether you get to live another year. So while I sincerely appreciate the gesture, you don't get to be good for one day as an excuse for being crappy the rest of them."

You know, you don't actually have to eat fish on Fridays: you just have to not eat meat. Pizza without meat on is perfectly fine. As is a veggie curry, or any veggie thing. And there are other fish options, much as I love fish fingers and potato waffles: you could make haddock chowder, or sardines on toast, or all sorts. Paellas are good too: either veggie or seafood.

Also, if you haven't chosen another penance for Fridays outside Lent, you're actually still supposed to eat no meat on those: no-meat Fridays weren't abolished, you were just given some freedom to replace them with another penance even if you didn't have a medical or similar good reason. So, if you want to continue eating meat on Fridays, you could give up something else (like cigarettes or alcohol) on those days, or take up an extra good thing like saying a rosary or making it to a weekday Mass, or whatever sort of thing suits you, but you are supposed to do something.

Just, fyi. I didn't realise that until the Bishops over here (England) decided everyone had forgotten they were supposed to do something, it was too confusing, so brought back the no-meat rule as the norm.

Whoa. And Xtians accuse US of being "legalists??" o.O

Re: Yom Kippur

How is that "legalist"? Pick a penance, do it every Friday along with the rest of the Church. Ideally it should be "no meat", if that's the tradition in your culture, but there are various good reasons why this is unsuitable for some people.

Since Vatican II, many regions took out the assumption that the penance should ideally be "no meat", but that has pretty obviously led to confusion and Catholics thinking they don't need to do anything, so some of those regions recently reintroduced it.

It is a basic principle of Catholicism, Orthodoxy, and many of the older Protestant Christians, that fasting and penance are a good thing (which should be linked to feasting and celebration), and doing things together with others is a good thing. I thought Judaism generally agreed?
