Peace be with you.
I was speaking to someone yesterday and was told that Jesus
was a vegetarian. I said that couldn't be because He
was a good Jew and, as such, would have had to, at least, eaten
lamb each Passover. I was looking for references in
the Bible and was stumped. They said animals were created
to be our friends, not our dinner.
Thank you,
Alice J. DeClemente, GDCF

Alice,
Why even let such people disturb one's peace?

Hi Alice,
People can say the nuttiness things these days.
Just tell them you follow the Church Our Lord founded
on St. Peter and such nonsense was never taught by
the Apostles or Church.
We have an Oral and Written Tradition interpreted
by the Church for us, where we know this is true.
You said:

No, your friend obviously has not been reading
the Bible. Man is to have dominion over the animals;
not treat more importantly than pre-born babies.

Hi Alice,
There are several relevant proofs here, as Mike
pointed out:
So that's Jesus. Let's look elsewhere.
God explicitly gave all the
animals to men to eat (Genesis 9:3). Various restrictions
imposed on Christians in the New Testament (Acts
15:20, 21:25) imply that we can eat meat.
Hope this helps.
Eric
