Well this gets into the question of whether vegans are vegan in substance or vegan in species/accident. I think the concept of tofurky provides insight, as it is substantially turkey under the accident or species of tofu, just as the Eucharist is substantially Christ under the accident or species of bread and wine. As tofurky is still acknowledged to be vegan, I would say yes.
I mean, if we don’t accept that argument, aren’t we at the least skirting on calling Catholics cannibals?
yeah, you and every other roman. go back to the temple of saturn, nerd
The pastor at a tiny, cash-strapped rustic church needed to re-paint the church building, but money was perpetually tight. So he got two large cans of paint that were on sale, which he figured would be enough, and he and his deacon set to painting the church. They painted the right half of the church, but were alarmed to see that they had used up two-thirds of the paint painting only half of the church.
They didn’t want to lose face by asking for further donations and they didn’t see any other way out of the situation, so they watered down the remaining can of paint and painted the left half of the church. They did this even though the directions on the paint can said not to. This looked OK when the paint was wet, since it thinned into a smooth white layer, but the next day the bishop of the diocese came to visit, and the paint that they had watered was horribly cracking up and showing through. Apologizing and kneeling down, the pastor and the deacon asked the bishop what they should do.
“Repaint and thin no more”, he said.
I was expecting a wonderful moral story out of this. And I could see how watering down paint and trying to paint over something and it looks okay at first and then becomes all dried and cracked and…. you get it.
But then you hit me with that horrible pun and I hate it.
I know this isn’t my Catholic blog but why the hell are some people reblogging posts of saints and tagging them with ‘biblical mythology’?
Saints were real people who lived and died. You don’t have to believe in the religion but why the hell reduce a real person to a tag like ‘biblical mythology’ because they were Christian? You might as well tag ME as biblical mythology too if that’s the case…
From now on I am a Catholic tree nymph. Reblog and say what mythological creature you are.
Definitely a Catholic pegasus
Catholic hag.
I am a catholic dwarf
Catholic fae here
Catholic dwarf
Catholic orc
Catholic centaur
Catholic werewolf
Catholic gnome
Catholic Phoenix, as the name suggests
Catholic lich
that may break a few rules.
Oh dear, I think you already know quite well what I’d be.
