It was originally the Latin word "carnis". They invented the fast from meat specifically to mean giving up the best food of, like, beef and chicken. When translated into English, "meat" was the best word they had to refer to the concept of land animal meat.

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.

It's dual-use infrastructure. It is used for both civilian and military purposes, so it's a valid target under international law.

You mean 40% of Democrats want to decrease it, while the swing voters she needs to win an election are the most likely to support sending current or greater levels of support.

  1. I don't think she thought she was negotiating anything.

  2. If John Sparkman, George McGovern, and John Kerry didn't get indicted for violating it, I think it's just unenforceable law for anyone.

It's not even capitalism but just society in general. Good people typically look at what it takes to lead and want nothing for it. To strive to be in charge of things you have to have a certain arrogance and to succeed you have to be ruthless enough as well.

1 John 2:18 uses it both as a proper noun and as a generic noun, and nowadays "Antichrist" is more a colloquial name for the first beast of Revelation 13 even if that's not directly what the text clearly calls him.

Regardless, I agree Trump is very anti-Christ. Hard to read 1 John 4 and not see almost the opposite of him.

Which ballots are those? You think RFK has any chance of flipping California?? (Or New York for that matter?)

It was literally called "The Last Supper On A Stage On The Seine".

People want to claim the drag performance was making fun of “The Last Supper”

By their own statements, that was their actual intention though.

He's always been the leader. This is just a change in titles to eliminate the vacant lower position.
