“Wow, it must be difficult for you to track all of your parishioners eating habits and still make it to mass on time”

Nobody tracks anything. The fast is the fast, as it always has been. The requirement for confession is has it always has been. The requirement not to live “in sin” is as it always has been. The priest announces before communion that it is reserved for Orthodox Christians who have properly prepared themselves by fasting and confession and who are living their lives in accordance with the dictates of The Church. We are then told, “With fear, faith and love approach”.We know the rules and live by them. Nobody needs to “keep track” anymore than anyone needed to “keep track” in the Roman Church before Vatican II.

Nobody tracks anything.

Then quit claiming to know what others had for breakfast.
