Technically, do you need a Catholic Priest to confess to, if you already got Facebook

The therapist does too, but the only difference is he charges money. Not going to deride therapists anymore. They have helped people like Tommy Tooter stop eating out of garbage cans. But unless you have a serious problem, a therapist is like rent-a-friend and paying to whine on someone’s couch. And the therapist will continue to take your money because why not lol can’t blame him or her

True, but one big difference: you can talk to the therapist about pretty much anything, whereas the confessional is supposed to be religion/sin-themed.

I think there is a loophole in the sacred oath of confession. The priest cannot blab about what you said. But if you say “This is it I can’t take it anymore I’m gonna hurt some people” then I think the priest can try to stop you, or foil your plan in some way.

Any TradCathBros can verify?

I don't know about that, but I do know that if your sin also involves you having seriously broken the law, your penance will be that you have to turn yourself in.

The seal of confession is meant to give the penitent privacy, similar to HIPAA or attorney-client privilege, lest people go to your parish priest to get dirt on you. It's not supposed to be a criminal hideout. And depending on the jurisdiction, clergy may be mandated reporters.

I like it when people use Facebook to confess their sins rather than using friends, priests, or therapists, because that's how Lolcows are created.

From what i know about fasting by Catholic rulings. You arent suppose to eat anything from animals on fasting days (which would mean meat, milk, eggs) etc.

So the safest bet is "banana slices on bread". Because Peanut Butter is horrible.

Abstaining from meat isn't the same as fasting. That's only on Fridays during Lent (outside of Lent, you can do some othrr kind of Friday penance, but I go meatless every Friday because it's easier to remember). Fasting is only required on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday.

It's not all animal products, just the meat of a warm-blooded animal. Hence, seafood and eggs are okay (and there are odd exceptions like capybara).
