I mean I get it but generally you don't eat fertilized eggs
Yea just like Catholics don't consider unfertilised human eggs to be humans
The Catholics are consistent this time
You do if you have roosters
How many people do you think own roosters compared to the number of people who eat eggs? It's gotta be less than 1%
beavers and capybara are classified fish by the Catholic Church
TIL eating beaver is approved by the catholic church
How about ducks?
no, but alligators and puffin.
my basic understanding is that people wrote intentionally advantageous descriptions of the animals when submitting them to the Vatican for approval or something. like they just stressed how much time the animal spends in water and not much else, and the pope wrote back saying "yeah that's okay"
Iirc the capybara thing was a special dispensation to help out indigenous tribes in south America
"God makes an exception for you and your group, specifically."
So they are ... God's chosen people?
Yikes. Someone didn't pay attention in school. They're having a.fantasy gotcha conversation where they're the hero, though...
Not related to this point but also fish isn’t meat according to them.
Super anecdotal: I once had a Filipino Catholic coworker with whom I went to lunch, and he considered balut to be meat.
if that's the bear from jungle book, it's definitely meat
No, that's Baloo. A balut is a system or occasion of secret voting.
No, that's ballot. The balut is the person who is paid to park cars at hotels and fancy restaurants.
No, that's a valet. A balut is that thing clowns use to make dogs and flowers at children's parties.
they have had 2000 years to make up their minds on when life begins but 21st century verbal gotcha == disco pope
I'd think they'd just say "in this case yes". Not every rule is an universal one
I'mma need uhhhhhhh
BONELESS EGGS
This exchange would be very interesting if the person in question is into eating balut.
Isn't the church quite clear about when life begins? At first breath iirc? Stillborn kids don't get baptized?
No, Catholics are possibly the most consistent religion in unanimously agreeing life begins at fertilization. (Which, eggs you eat aren't fertilized anyway.)
They don't baptize stillborn "babies" because they don't believe in baptizing dead people, as it's just a body at that point, no longer a complete person. Plus they believe since there was no opportunity, there is a way to heaven for them in the afterlife.
I've only heard the "first breath" thing in a few modern sects of Judaism.
A lot of the eggs I get are fertilized (US, California), but maybe that's because I tend to get "free range". Can see the tiny embryo (~1mm) in a lot of them.
Our views on abortion are more shaped by our politics then religion, I'm sure some extreme parts of Judaism are against abortion but I don't believe it has too much basis in Torah.
And just like the christians, you need to suspend belief in science to see any semblance of a point here.
