Vegan Catholic Guilt , emphasis on Vegan .

Vegan + Catholic guilt is one of the most precious treasures one can possess . Now , it has been said that guilt is a very negative emotion . However , going back more essentially , emotions are helpful . When we have guilt about something we have done , we can see it for the sin it is / or is not / and may do something to rectify it . As Vegan Catholics we do not wallow for ever in negativity and sin . Not even Purgatory is for ever . And it is doubtful whether there is a place called Hell . Emotion is the beginning of reason . When we use the Three Pillars of Theological study ; tradition , scripture and reason ; we may be able to explain / justify our actions . More to the point : When we eat meat . In the KJV the word meat is used as a word for " food " . When we eat fleshy stuff ,, it does not mean we have eaten a living , breathing animal .

Recipe : bean sauce and vege-cake

Firstly start the bean sauce the night before . 1.) Soak black eyed peas / beans in water with two pinches of bi-carb soda . 2.) The morning after , squeeze the peels off the beans . It doesn't matter if you mash the beans while doing this , this helps smoothen the texture of the sauce . Use the soaking liquid to rinse the peels away and throw them in the compost . 3.) Boil the beans on very low heat until very soft and gluggy . You may have to add extra water to boil the beans . 4.) Remove excess cooking liquid from the beans and add diced tomatoes from a can or jar , salt and oil . Boil until tomatoes are cooked . This is the sauce , to be served hot . To make the cakes : 1.) Grate a large Idaho potatoe . Put in to a large mixing bowl . 2.) Add frozen mixed veges from a packet which you may buy at the super market . 3.) Add two ladel - fulls of plain flour 4.) Add a pinch of salt . 5.) Add 300 mL of water and mix , getting the lumps out . 6.) Put the whole batter into...

After mid-night

It's half past three in the morn I'm awake alone A few cigarettes and cokes I start my long day in thinking and remembering They know the past , They predict the Future Yet ... the present is something ??? They have a past , they have a now They made a calf and yet the true story is sad and sorry for one who glories in the effemeral beauty of the Golden Calf The Pain and sufferring to live up to a longing An eyes lightenned and a quick release Yet when this matters in the moment when all else passes must cease Wearriness creeps in a distaste for sin A sudden grip of morale A voice , come hear the call Eternity after the Fall What will we be after it all Sand and dust a must , a bust Or a natural being without sin , guilt or rust .

Don't ... please ...

don't stress the mess that the world has made of your Life But Live it up to over - flowing as God has already given For we have a Living God , some one who is present , who is with us , through all time in reason and rhyme In Life and death and onward to the Life beyond Far beyond the sky , here in the sunshine of Eternal Love Like an unquenchable fire An unapproachable Light A perfect person Good in all ways Gracious God Heavenly Father Forgive us our tresspasses and Grant this Day our lot as you know we truly need .

The Joy of the Rythym

Slowly at first in , out , in , out , up , down , left , right A dance of the hips breathe heavily on your lips A Joy of the flesh Two entwined in tenderness In a dance which creates everything Of a Life to Live Forever more A ritual as old as time A dance in peance to the Creator In you , in me there is something In two there is three Some one yet to be Always waiting , wanting staying , saying something Like a word , a world a sound a Dance in to being .
