Thread: Hypocrisy at my Catholic School

Fish are animals. :V

If you meant mammals then there's quite a few of those which live in the sea.

yeah don't expect anything in the christian religion to make any sense or be fair at all.

You go to a Catholic school, what else to you expect of the rules? You think they'll celebrate Hannakuh or something?

Be smarter than that.

Christianity is about faith and control of the masses, it doesn't have to make sense.

"they afford greater pleasure as food [than fish], and greater nourishment to the human body, so that from their consumption there results a greater surplus available for seminal matter, which when abundant becomes a great incentive to lust." - Thomas Aquinas

so basically, meat makes you feel good....so its bad.

I too, went to a catholic school for many years . Fortunately, it was a very liberal catholic school and except for a bible class here and there they didnt really force anything on us.

Haha yeah I remember they did that in my highschool too. And every goddamn Friday of Lent. My parents expected me to adhere to that rubbish as well, so I had to sneak deli meat out of the fridge and make my own lunch.

At least you get fish! Though I guess it doesn't make much of a difference if you don't like it...

I went to Catholic school too and yeah the whole fish vs meat did not make any sense to me either. (Though at my high school, the alternative was cheese pizza from Domino’s!)

However, the school restricts what the school sells because the school is trying to promote a Catholic lifestyle. This includes no meat on certain days of the year. (One of my elem. school principals actually confiscated lunches which had the forbidden food.) LOL. Anyway, they want to uphold all of the Catholic traditions, and since you go to their school, you agree to take part in those traditions (or at least not complain too much)

As for the fish… I did not know the fish was another symbol for Christianity until after I was out of high school (and saw a bumper sticker ). Technically, for Catholics and certain other Christian religions, the cross is the only recognized symbol. The fish kind of died out for most groups, especially when the Darwinians altered it. However, it is still used by the Christian groups who do not want to use the cross because of its earlier Pagan use.
