I mean I get it but generally you don't eat fertilized eggs
Yea just like Catholics don't consider unfertilised human eggs to be humans
The Catholics are consistent this time
They don't support birth control because of the potential, though, last I checked. Thank God my lunatic parents at least recognized that was too far
You do if you have roosters
How many people do you think own roosters compared to the number of people who eat eggs? It's gotta be less than 1%
Does the quantity of roosters determine the validity of the argument? How many fertilized eggs must be eaten to meet your metric?

beavers and capybara are classified fish by the Catholic Church
Water creature moment.
Hydrologic high ground
TIL eating beaver is approved by the catholic church
How about ducks?
no, but alligators and puffin.
my basic understanding is that people wrote intentionally advantageous descriptions of the animals when submitting them to the Vatican for approval or something. like they just stressed how much time the animal spends in water and not much else, and the pope wrote back saying "yeah that's okay"
Iirc the capybara thing was a special dispensation to help out indigenous tribes in south America
"God makes an exception for you and your group, specifically."
So they are ... God's chosen people?
Not related to this point but also fish isn’t meat according to them.
Super anecdotal: I once had a Filipino Catholic coworker with whom I went to lunch, and he considered balut to be meat.
if that's the bear from jungle book, it's definitely meat
No, that's Baloo. A balut is a system or occasion of secret voting.
No, that's ballot. The balut is the person who is paid to park cars at hotels and fancy restaurants.
No, that's a valet. A balut is that thing clowns use to make dogs and flowers at children's parties.
No, that's a balloon. A balut is a bar of metal.
Thats a Ballot, a balut is a large room or chamber, usually used for storage, especially an underground one.
they have had 2000 years to make up their minds on when life begins but 21st century verbal gotcha == disco pope
I'mma need uhhhhhhh
BONELESS EGGS
Isn't the church quite clear about when life begins? At first breath iirc? Stillborn kids don't get baptized?
No, Catholics are possibly the most consistent religion in unanimously agreeing life begins at fertilization. (Which, eggs you eat aren't fertilized anyway.)
They don't baptize stillborn "babies" because they don't believe in baptizing dead people, as it's just a body at that point, no longer a complete person. Plus they believe since there was no opportunity, there is a way to heaven for them in the afterlife.
I've only heard the "first breath" thing in a few modern sects of Judaism.
A lot of the eggs I get are fertilized (US, California), but maybe that's because I tend to get "free range". Can see the tiny embryo (~1mm) in a lot of them.
Our views on abortion are more shaped by our politics then religion, I'm sure some extreme parts of Judaism are against abortion but I don't believe it has too much basis in Torah.

This exchange would be very interesting if the person in question is into eating balut.
And just like the christians, you need to suspend belief in science to see any semblance of a point here.

Eggs aren't unborn chickens. They are the discarded menstruation of chickens.
I'd really like vegans to understand that.
I think vegans care more about the fact that chickens are kept to produce eggs than anything. On the other hand, there are also many vegans who aren't ethically vegan, but rather are vegan as a result of an Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder caused by knowing how the sausage and eggs are made and being completely horrified by the idea in the same way many wouldn't want to eat an eyeball or various other parts of an animal.
