Apr 8, 2004 The most important Holiday of the Christian faith is upon us again. Easter is just around the corner, and another problem has risen. No pun intended. Here at home, in Boston, the Red Sox opening day happens to fall on Good Friday. The Red Sox faithful have asked the Pope if they can, just this once, eat hot dogs on Good Friday at Fenway Park. He said No! Good for you, John Paul. Look here people, you know who you are. Most of you probably don't attend Church on a weekly basis anyway. So if you want a hot dog, go ahead, eat what you want. For the rest of you, it's only one day that you were asked not to eat meat, one day! The Red Sox have plenty of games at home this year, and you can eat whatever you want. I am a big meat eater. I was brought up to, on Good Friday, not eat any meat. It's not a big deal, for one day, to eat tuna fish, or peanut butter. I myself don't attend Church as often as I should, but I can go one day without a roast beef. Asking the Pope for permission? Come on people, if you want to eat meat, just eat it. With the World as it is, can't we as Christians, do one thing together, without arguing about it. On Good Friday, I will do as I am told. We as a free people,
can do whatever we want, but come on people, one day without meat will not kill
anyone. And please, stop bothering the Pope with everything you find wrong with
the teachings of the Church, he has way bigger problems than this, to contend
with. Well, go Red Sox, and may you all have a happy and joyous Easter.
