Because Jesus Christ, whom we Catholics worship as God, was crucified on a Friday. This is memorized every year especially on Good Friday, the Friday before Easter Sunday (which is the feast of Christ's resurrection after His death).
fridays.
Catholics have days set aside for fasting and abstinence but have no food prohibitions.
I have been a Catholic for nearly fifty years, I asked two lifelong Catholics, include a 70 year old woman who was in a convent for a while. To the best of our collective knowledge, there is no "green leaves associated with Catholics as food" (leaving aside the fact that there are no "Roman Catholics" unless you are using Roman to refer to Latin rite Catholics, and all of us are Latin rite Catholics and we never heard of such a thing.)
It introduced New World conflicts that could never have been imagined since the available mapping technology presented multiple overlaps between charters.Like with the Puritans and the Quakers it was colonisation for the Catholics which gave the Catholics a Colonial safe haven and as an aside it cleansed England of Socially Undesirables and potential troublemakers.
Nope, Halloween is definitely not for everyone. Though most Christians DO celebrate it and put aside the ties to paganism, worship of the dead, and sacrificial offerings for the sake of fun, others feel that it is wrong. I feel that as long as people are making informed decisions, either choice is perfectly fine.
Aside from the 'better person' she was motivated by the racial discrimination she met. Particularly as practiced by the federal government and the Daughters of the American Revolution.
Of course Catholics eat meat. They may also choose to be vegetarian or adopt some other dietary discipline for heath, social-consciousness, or even spiritual reasons. The question begs the explanation of the disicpline of abstinance which the Church asks of its members on Fridays during Lent. During this time, as a corporate act of penitence, those who are between 14 and 69 are expected under the pain of sin to abstain from flesh meat, except for fish (and the various creatures which have been traditionally accepted as 'fish', i.e., shrimp, turtle, capybarra ;) , and such.) Of course, extenuating circumstances, such as health reasons, may mitigate this expectation for individual Catholics. This is not simply an arbitrary exercise of ecclesial power, but it is a mighty witness to the Lenten season of penitence and it is also a powerful reminder of our need to be about self-denial as a worthy spiritual practice. Catholics are encouraged to practice penitential discipline throughout the year each Friday, but presently this does not include manditory abstinence from meat each and every Friday, as it did decades ago. A few Catholics still maintain this discipline as a year-round spiritual practice. In short Catholics do eat meat. It would seem that Catholics, generally, enjoy meat. But by making this one small sacrifice during our penitential season, we set aside earthly enjoyments in order to temper our wills and restrain our desires in a spirit of penance, so that we may enjoy the Easter season (and the feast which accompanies it) all the more.
Subsided means collapsed and fallen into a hole. It does not mean the same thing as subsidised.
Even though she was born an raised a catholic, after her husband (Henry II) died and her teenage sons took the throne, she put aside her religious views in order to help make peace between the feuding Protestants and Catholics
pledged loan -- A mortgage loan that has been identified and set aside as security for borrowing by the holder of the mortgage; particularly a loan that has been pledged as security for an advance from a Federal Home Loan Bank.
The Know Nothings were a bigoted group of political people who among many groups they hated were Roman Catholics. When the party fell to pieces, some of them were welcomed into the radical wing of the Republican Party. They found a home there as many radical Republicans hated Catholics. As an aside, the No Knowings tried to recruit Abraham Lincoln into their ranks. Lincoln of course refused.
The physical characteristics of the Germans and Dutch are very similar, And their languages have a lot in common. culturally they both have christian background and were leaders in the move away from the Catholics hold on religious expression. But aside from that and the arrogance that seems to be a national trait in both of them not much.
