Catholics and Food

Chicken and waffles - don't diss it 'til you've tried it.

Catholics and food go together like Simon and Garfunkel . . . like fireworks and July 4th. Positively made for each other.

If anyone begs to differ - just give up. We're not puritans here with all that "The body is so not cool" nonsense. We're all about enjoying the good things in life (moderately...duh....and 3 waffles is total moderation).

The case is such: Humans are physical beings and we experience and encounter everything through our senses. God knows this. Hello, the sacraments. Water, oil, hands, words. (Grade school catechesis baby.)

He made everything in creation so therefore we can have an encounter with God through His creation - it's a part of Him just as much as one of my paintings is a part of my heart.

Wait, did I just say we can encounter God through goodness such as fried chicken and waffles? Yes. Yes, I did. G.K. agrees...

“In Catholicism, the pint, the pipe and the Cross can all fit together.” – GK Chesterton
