6. Catholics must observe the MEATLESS Fridays during Lent and on Ash Wednesday Protestants don't have to do this. <<
I've reposted the original question for context.
>>Perhaps the burden is upon Catholicism to show where this has to be done.<<
That would be making non-Catholics less-sinners and Catholics greater sinners. Is that your idea? Lol. My, my SOMEone has an inflated idea about himself, perhaps.
If you knew ANYTHING about the Church you would know *that their Judaic tradition led the way for their Apostolic Tradition. **You would KNOW why Mary is so important.
Well, never mind,you do have your own bias, PERHAPS. PERHAPS the LOW ROAD, the easier path, is all that that non-Catholics can do. PERHAPS they simply can't make the higher grade, can't cut the less difficult stuff.
Your answer has nothing to do with the original post which questioned the necessity of having to observe what was posted in #6 above.
Not sure what this has to do with Mary. But we can discuss that on another thread.
Some items are actually valid examples of “church discipline.” The meatless Fridays during Lent aren’t salvational issues. They’re church discipline issues. Even if I didn’t personally do it, if I were in a church where this was the norm, I wouldn’t be urging other people to not do it or cause anyone to stumble from what they believed right by eating hamburgers in public on Friday. When they got expanded into claimed salvational issues is when the problems began to happen.
There are some parallel issues in other churches. Some forbid to drink at all. Some forbid to dance at all. Some will not have a piano played in the worship service. And so on.
