You can't eat meat.Its never no food at all for catholics.

I was in vegas 4 or 5 years ago and at 4 am on Ash Wednesday I gave everyone at the black jack table except the dealer ashes on their foreheads from the ash tray.I'm going to hell.

See, that's not what I was told. A friend likes to pretend to be devout. They aren't eating ANYTHING today. They are Catholic.

My dad used to call on some real religious catholics and on days like this he would put the ashes from his cigarettes on himself in the parking lot and go in looking like mr religion.

Yeah. I didn't ask a lot of questions. Religious folk seem to get uppity when the pagan starts questions.
She said they couldn't eat anything for 24 hours, so they were drinking water.

Mass is at 7pm tonight if you'd like ashes.

On this day, Catholics are asked to eat very
simply, to abstain from eating meat, and to reduce the amount of food that they consume. During Lent, we are
encouraged to observe each Friday in this way as a reminder of our sharing in the passion, crucifixion
and death of Jesus.

Straight from our parish website. Also the baptism team needs volunteers (as usual) if you're interested.

I'm thinking she's not roman catholic because even before Vatican II (insider lingo) you still didnt have to fast totally.Fasting doesnt even mean no food for catholics.It means one full meal a day and a few snacks.

Oh, they claim to be VERY Roman Catholic. Full Catholic wedding service. I was surprised that they were doing the fasting, but not going to church?

If it means we compete against other teams in a race to see how many babies you can dunk in a period of time I'm in.
