I’ve been inquiring into the Orthodox tradition, and they have fasts all year on certain days.
Discussion
The periods without meat are a significant sacrifice and they're stricter with it.
About 2/3 of the year is dedicated to fasts lol
Yeah, I'm Catholic. Same.
But I think the Orthodox are more hardcore about it. Vegan, instead of vegetarian, or something.
I can't do vegan for more than a few days at a time. Food torture.
Lent is more "meat only on Sundays" and that seems to be enough to make me feel completely different.
