To: Prince of Space
Nobody goes from dinner on Saturday until Sunday morning Mass with no food, so you’d better do some recent research if you wanna sound halfway intelligent on the matter. The fasting period in the 50s was nothing after midnight.

No, Prince, I don't have to do "research" seeing as I experienced exactly what I said I did. Are calling me a liar now?

Kids usually go to bed LONG before midnight - our bedtime was 9 p.m. on weekends. Dinner was usually about six. So, yeah, that is what happened. You even confirmed the fasting period was nothing after midnight. So, if a kid ate dinner at 6, went to bed at 9, got up and went to Mass Sunday morning, it's a VERY long time to expect a child to fast. Why do you think they changed it to only an hour?

It's humorous how you are swiping at anything you can to hit back at people you say are "bashing" your religion, yet you do the exact same thing you accuse others of doing. Such pettiness is NOT attractive.

Mark 9:42 “Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him if a great millstone were hung around his neck and he were thrown into the sea.
