I can't remember where it is in the Book of Acts, where the non kosher meats were opened up for everyone, but its there. If some Catholic wants to be a vegetarian, thats fine, but don't try to make church doctrine of it.

The miracle of the loaves and tofu. < /sarc >

Jesus spent a lot of time with fishermen.

I can't remember where it is in the Book of Acts

Chapter 10

A voice said to him, "Get up, Peter. Slaughter and eat."

But Peter said, "Certainly not, sir. For never have I eaten anything profane and unclean."

The voice spoke to him again, a second time, "What God has made clean, you are not to call profane."

I guess we could also turn to Jesus saying it is not what goes into you that makes you unclean but what comes out of you.

Hmmm. Maybe these Catholics are "Catholics". Sort of like John Kerry is Catholic.

Or maybe in that great American Christian tradition they have beguiled themselves into thinking they have received "new light".

If you are referring to Peter's vision, Peter himself
said the vision meant that he should not force kosher
diet on Christians. However he and most early Christians
were vegetarian, as was Jesus.

Also, Jesus was not a vegetarian. When he said he had meat to eat that they knew not of, the disciples wouldn't have asked if anyone had bought groceries, they would have said, "Meat! You're eating meat now?"
