Neither is the Church, in her legislation on abstinence, animated by any such gross superstition as influences the adherents of Brahmanism or Buddhism.

Moved by their theories regarding the transmigration of souls, they are logically induced to abstain from eating the flesh of animals, lest they should unconsciously consume their parents or friends.

I realize being smart is a sin for you folks, but you can't even follow the simple ideas presented here. I'm assuming because you highlighted this portion that you think that this is what Catholics believe?

Perhaps you should try to find the nearest antecedent to the use of the word "they." Give up? It's "the adherents of Brahmanism or Buddhism."

For those of you in Rio Linda, those folks aren't Catholic.

Try again.

See toilet; Flush.

Still talkin' crap, I see. Do you have to try to be as offensive as possible? Does that help get your message across?
