I don’t know why it is called a day of shame.
Is it a shame if a person consistently over eats. Is that what St. Paul meant by “Don’t make your belly your God?”
@Brother Rolf I must go to confession then!
@RoscoePurvisColtrane Good idea Jimmy.
Dude….maybe so, but, the Orthos need to have gotten over this a long time ago. RCC has been reaching out to them ever since. If they are so Christian how about some forgiveness, love and reconciliation? They are cranky schismatics! Sorry to say. They famously never forget anything.
I’ll never forget the time I bought a train ticket in Thessaloniki to travel to Istanbul. The thing is, the conductor wouldn’t sell me a ticket to Istanbul. He would only sell me a ticket to Constantinople. Just to make sure, I asked him 3 times for a ticket to Istanbul. Constantinople! It hasn’t been called Constantinople since 1453….by anybody else.
Constantinople had previously agreed to give help and give supplies to the crusaders, but when the crusaders got there Constantinople refused.Not an excuse just a reason.
