@eric TBF I'm not sure the catholic church has forbidden eating human unfertilized eggs. In fact, they enthusiastically suggest eating human flesh and drinking human blood each week. So, tuck in to some tasty human egg paste.

@gamerevolt @eric I now have the mental image of Matrix-style “fields… endless fields” of human roe farms.

BRB calling my therapist.

@eric
Wow. just counting all the places I have to share this......
@eric TBF, the eggs we eat are typically not fertilized and so would never grow into a chicken. (Probably not true historically, tbf on the other hand.)

@eric
They really didn't do a very good job of extracting what they wanted to keep from Jewish law and tradition with any consistency, of course incorrect translations from Aramaic to Greek to English didn't help any.

PS Eggs are neither meat nor dairy under the rules for keeping Kosher, consistent with Jewish Law that life begins when the soul is imparted at birth.

@eric fish? not meat. can't cuddle a fish

um. cuttlefish

@eric TBH Catholic dogma is clear that fetuses are not humans (e.g. no baptism for miscarriages).
@eric while there are plenty of churches that would fall into this trap, the Catholic church (world-wide) is not really one of them; their dogma on the last rites for miscarriage is entirely consistent with the idea that unborn fetuses are different from born babies.

@PadreSJ
Is this actually accurate? 🙂🤷‍♂️

@eric Meanwhile in Germany:
Folks: "Hey you're eating meat on a Friday"
Catholic Priest: "Yeah, I'll have no meat on another day then, it's alright".
@eric You can eat Beaver if you're a catholic, no sniggering back there. The Catholic Church deemed it to be a fish.
@eric In their warped theology it is about the soul, animals don't have those.
They believe that life begins at conception and that is the moment the soul is created. They also believe that soul is sinful and will go to hell if not baptized, regardless of the fact that it is biologically incapable of thinking anything. So they really don't care if a future baby dies just as long as they have baptized it first.
@eric Excellent point. The Church is hypocritical if they don’t baptize women’s unfertilized eggs.
