If you want to express your solidarity with the unborn, you go for the caviar. Now fish eggs make sense. Tiny, salty, unborn fish eggs would at least be symbolically correct. But then I guess nothing's too painful when you're sacrificing for the Lord. The sad thing about all this foolishness is that instead of worrying about whether to have filet mignon or broiled lobster for dinner, we should all be worrying about the millions of the world's children who go to bed at night after having had nothing at all for dinner.
Starvation is a very real issue.
They are threatening Catholic parents with eternal damnation if they try to limit their children to a number they can feed and care for. It's no skin off those portly, priestly, Catholic bellies. As a humanist, I find this reprehensible. Many in the humanist movement complain that we spend too much time criticizing religion instead of promoting humanism. The problem with that complaint is that it's almost impossible to do the latter without also doing the former.
