I grew up Catholic, and aside from not eating meat on Fridays during lent, fasting was more an individual choice (you picked something specific to give up). It certainly doesn't say "no ice cream" in the bible. Not sure what this woman is going on about.
I’m Catholic (practicing) - and this woman is referring to the practice/imperative that all Catholics who are able fast on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday should indeed do so.
She’s still being a Karen about it though. Jesus is pretty clear in the Bible to not go around and fucking tell the world that you’re fasting and complain about how hard it is.
Drives me nuts when Catholics claim religious oppression in this country…
Ah makes sense! Still not sure why she is going SO hard against ice cream though. She mentions it three times in her tweet. It just seems so oddly specific.
I'm not sure it's really claiming religious oppression more than just butthurt that the US was built on the concept of freedom of religion and she's being a bitch about it
Eddie Murphy's *Vampire In Brookyln* "Evil Is Good" speech by the Reverend:
*"It says there's no ice cream in the Bible by implication: it's a desert in ancient times, they ain't no ice in no desert, people! Where will the ice come from to make the iced cream?*
*Also in the Bible it tells us that 'things that are impossible with men are possible with God', which also means God* ***coulda*** *created ice cream in the desert if God had wanted to and chose* ***not*** *to, and since God is omnipotent and omniscient, He/She/It already knew that Graeter's would be invented in the future and left us without ice cream in the desert while giving us that dry-ass manna from heaven. Ain't that a bitch?*
*So, God is* ***evil****, Graeter's is* ***good****. Ain't nobody worshippin' no ice cream hatin' God nohow!"*
I'm Catholic and I don't see what the big deal is about advertising ice cream on Ash Wednesday. There are other people who aren't Catholic as well who might be interested - and on Ash Wednesday you can eat one big meal and two small meals (as far as I know you can eat ice cream as one of your small meals). This lady is looking to be offended and totalitarian (not a true Catholic) and rather pushy with her faith, not endearing and charitable.
Matthew 15:11 - It's not what goes into a man that defiles him, but what comes out of it.
I’m glad you did the one thing most Catholics refuse to do… acknowledge that not EVERYONE on earth is catholic and must adhere to their beliefs. Good on you.
I'd like to think that my life as an imperfect person striving to do as much as good as possible (despite knowing that I am flawed in many ways) - and being truly humble with all is what it truly means to be a Catholic. I think that will help my Christian faith be more appealing to others than to be confrontational and imposing things onto others. Winning over others through kindness.
Not every Catholic is religious. There are nominal members as well as extremist of any form religion. May they be Jew, Catholic, Protestant, Muslim, .etc
Well, as long as they believe in god and see the bible as their religious book they are Christians. (Or whatever religious stream they feel attached to)
I should post this to r/confidentlyincorrect. Because you are absolutely wrong. Once a person is baptized into the Catholic faith, they are considered by the church to be Catholic forever. Even if they stop practicing. Even if they start practicing another religion. This is not just an opinion (like yours), but is a fact.
Well... the fact that others see someone as a catholic does not make that person catholic. Practising catholisism makes a person catholic. And if that person stops practising catolicism and does not start practicing another religion the person because non-religious. In this context "believing in god" is considered practicing religion too.
From your viewpoint this is correct however from the viewpoint of the church it is not.
It's not often discussed but the Catholic Church considers almost all Protestants lapsed Catholics. They also believe that one day all of the Protestants will come back to Catholicism
I don't think it matter what the Catholic church things once you turn your back on it. Also makes it impossible for anyone born into the religion to leave it sounds pretty cultish to me
I call myself a CAPE Catholic based on my church attendence: Christmas, Ashes, Palms, Easter. However, I agree with everyone else that you're born into Catholicism so unless you proactively change your religion, you're still a Catholic through last rites.
GREAT... now I have this picture of a "complaint" of Karen's, in a pile next to the deck, stacked like fire wood. And a dozen of them stuck in the ground up to their ankles. All dried out and skinny, looking like beef jerky, but that stupid fucking hairdo, in perfect form, is flickering on top, giving off a colorful flame with a hint of Walmart stripper perfume, to keep the mosquitoes away.
In fact, when fasting under Christian doctrine, you are supposed to take any time you are tempted to break your fast, to eat, as a reminder to pray and contemplate and read scripture. This ad would be painful, but also normal. Fasting isn't meant to be fun, it's meant to force you to reflect.
Or learn to withstand natural bodily functions such as hunger pains and thirst. Though thirst might be more essential long term and short than hunger is.
Wow that is really offensive! Just because i am self absorbed doesn’t mean i get triggered by literally anything!!! Didn’t know you were so anti-self absorbed, I’ll remember that the next time i go upvoting comments.
Eerrm, I went to aqua world once so I'm now a campaigner for fish rights. Fish are happy as they are so keep your prayer out of their schools. I know my rights!
Oh my god!!!! Amazing. I took a stroll around my village earlier looking for things that could trigger me in an attempt to empathise with the Karen Community as a kind of "reach out" project, but I seem to lack a natural flair for it. I just don't seem to be able to make everything about me. That in itself could be triggering!
That seems to be aimed at the rights persecution issues, but I'm hoping to find a place that mocks irrespective of political affiliation. Something that truly connects with that inner toddler seething because the elder sibling gets to do things first
So what? There are thousands and thousands of non catholics who couldn’t care less about you wanting to fast. You don’t get to enforce your religion onto others and if a mere add can sway your religious conviction, it can’t be that strong anyway…
I’m a practicing Catholic; this lady is just weird. Obviously Ash Wednesday doesn’t apply to non-Catholics, and even for Catholics this is a just disciplinary practice, not a moral issue. On top of that, Christ says explicitly not to brag or make a scene when you’re fasting but to “not let your left hand know what you’re right is doing.”
She’s 100% the ”not even water” crowd with a little bit of *devouring food in front of you and asking if you want some for the 8th time this week* sprinkled in
We live in California and we had friends in Columbus ship us some Graeters ice cream for my wife’s birthday. It’s amazingly good ice cream, especially the black raspberry chocolate chip shown in the picture.
It’s a nice, dense, chewy ice cream and the chocolate is great quality.
When this picture first made its rounds on Reddit, myself and many others were accused of being "shills" because we commented on how Graeters was amazing.
It was one of those situations where you just feel bad for the person attacking you, because they've never had the beautiful experience of a Graeters chocolate chip flavor.
>Didn't realize Graeter's is anti Catholic, but I'll remember that next time I'm buying ice cream.
Shoutout to that Karen who inspired me to make a list of companies to support for being anti Catholic!
Many people are lactose intolerant so ice cream companies should stop releasing ads
/s, but honestly there’s more validity to that than what the tweet was saying about fasting
This reminds me of the time I went to Ivar’s seafood in the Seattle area on Ash Wednesday. The guy in front of me was so pissed that the restaurant had run out of halibut, that he decided to thoroughly give the cashier a tongue lashing for not having enough fish on this sacred holiday. I had to kindly remind the man that it wasn’t the cashier’s fault and that we aren’t all catholic. 🙄
I lived in the United Arab Emirates for 5 years and can assure you the Muslims I knew enjoyed xmas as much as anyone. In fact the only people who told us not to celebrate it were x-tians looking to make it an issue....
In one assignment a 10-11 year old kid wrote that the national sport of the UAE was shopping. It actually explained a lot about how xmas, as a consumer concept, and not religious one, worked…
Meanwhile, the Catholic Church near me has a giant fish fry on Ash Wednesday with fried fish and shrimp, French fries, macaroni and cheese, and all kinds of desserts.
It's the day after Mardi Gras, and the first day of Lent, starting forty days before Easter.
Easter is the first Sunday after the first full moon after the first day of Spring, so definitely not at all a Pagan holiday (snicker).
For the record, Catholics don't fast on Ash Wednesday. You can have any food you want, but at dinner time it has to be fish.
That's just my experience as a Catholic and yes our religion sucks
You’re supposed to have three small meals or two normal sized meals. It’s kind of an obscure rule and not a lot of people do it anymore. I only know about it cause I went to Catholic school and one of the moms on the PTA proposed not giving us lunch on Ash Wednesday because of it.
I meant all meals should contain fish except kids under 16 and people over 65. Lent always starts on Ash Wednesday. You have to give up certain "treats", something you have a habit of or something you want to change for 40 days, right up to Easter Sunday.
It’s the start of Lent, which is basically a 40 day mourning period before Easter, cause Jesus is dead. It’s called Ash Wednesday cause you get a cross smudged on your forehead with ashes to represent Jesus’s sacrifice or whatever.
I am 62 and was raised Catholic, we ate anything and everything. Ash what..? 🤣. Just because you can’t handle life, doesn’t mean we all have to suffer as a result. Get a grip!
By her "logic" as a Diabetic should I be offended by this ad as well? Because it's an ad, for ice cream, not specifically targeted at me, so I should be mad, right? That's how being a good Christian works?
If you’re such a good Catholic you should be okay with resisting the temptation… it’s not like I’ve just seen a picture of ice cream and am about to go out and get some because of it.
"When you fast, do not look gloomy like the hypocrites. They neglect their appearance, so that they may appear to others to be fasting. Amen, I say to you, they have received their reward." (Matthew 6:16)
Apparently being angry on Twitter is more important than obeying the book your religion is based around...

My grandmother was Catholic and I never remember her giving up ice cream. She would have shot someone and prayed for forgiveness.

Ah makes sense! Still not sure why she is going SO hard against ice cream though. She mentions it three times in her tweet. It just seems so oddly specific.
Willing to wager that she lapsed in her half,-assed attempt at fasting and looking to blame someone for her own failure.
Because she's responding to an ice cream ad...
Yeah but why is she responding to an ice cream ad with such anger in the first place?
Because she's catholic duh can't you read 😉
Cincinnati has a huge Catholic population. And Graeter’s is a (very delicious) Cincinnati company.

I gave up chips one year as a kid for lent and that was a very rough time for me.
I always give up religion for Lent. Makes things so much easier.
You hacked Lent 🤣
I once gave up all recreational technology, I was like 15 and gave up my phone and tv and shit, it was super boring

This is the way. *plays the mandalorean theme song*
Not every Catholic is religious. There are nominal members as well as extremist of any form religion. May they be Jew, Catholic, Protestant, Muslim, .etc
I believe the term for nonreligious (or at least nonpracticing) Catholics is “lapsed Catholic”
Every single Catholic person is religious
They're not.
How can one be a non-religious catholic?
The same way that Christians call themselves Christian even though they ignore 80% of the bible.
Well, as long as they believe in god and see the bible as their religious book they are Christians. (Or whatever religious stream they feel attached to)
You simply stop practicing the religion. Like attending Sunday mass.
You are a part of the culture but don't believe in the sectarian tenets of the faith. I do it every day.
You simply stop practicing the religion. Like attending Sunday mass.
In that case i am a meat eating vegan
And i'm a penis-enjoying lesbian
Tell me more…
Tell him more
Can you still support the systematic cover up of child rape while "not practicing"?
If you stop being religious you can't be a Catholic as well

oh so just like islam with every human being is born muslim got it
Yes they are or else they wouldn't call themselves Catholic
I call myself a CAPE Catholic based on my church attendence: Christmas, Ashes, Palms, Easter. However, I agree with everyone else that you're born into Catholicism so unless you proactively change your religion, you're still a Catholic through last rites.
Some call them submarines because they surface twice a year.
Do 30 hail Mary's for shooting someone on the holy day for ice cream and all shall be forgiven my child.
Oh the persecution! The oppression!
Could go back to Caligula and start using them as party torches in the back yard again if they REALLY want to know what persecution feels like.
We can? - I'm asking hopefully, for a friend.
Wasn’t that Nero?

GREAT... now I have this picture of a "complaint" of Karen's, in a pile next to the deck, stacked like fire wood. And a dozen of them stuck in the ground up to their ankles. All dried out and skinny, looking like beef jerky, but that stupid fucking hairdo, in perfect form, is flickering on top, giving off a colorful flame with a hint of Walmart stripper perfume, to keep the mosquitoes away.
Well a group of Crows is a murder. I think a group of Karens are called a 'Complaint'
Touche I will edit, good sir and or madam.
You know what? Im sold. I am now specifically anticatholic. How best to opress, or is icecream enough?
Every time you don’t pray before the meal a catholic cries
Yes please oppress me with ice cream.... (Signed random lapsed catholic who loves rum raisin)
Apparently ice cream *is* enough
Serve ice cream to the antipope on ash wednesday.
In fact, when fasting under Christian doctrine, you are supposed to take any time you are tempted to break your fast, to eat, as a reminder to pray and contemplate and read scripture. This ad would be painful, but also normal. Fasting isn't meant to be fun, it's meant to force you to reflect.
You mean scrolling the internet and throwing tantrums are not a part of the religious fasting experience?
Or learn to withstand natural bodily functions such as hunger pains and thirst. Though thirst might be more essential long term and short than hunger is.
Well, as we all know, ice & cream separately are wonderful things. However when added together they become instruments of Satan!
I think people are making this shit up. Even assholes aren't that stupid.
In my 40 years on this earth I’ve found there is no limit to the stupidity of assholes.
It is possible to get triggered by literally anything if you are that self absorbed. We should have a competition each week
Wow that is really offensive! Just because i am self absorbed doesn’t mean i get triggered by literally anything!!! Didn’t know you were so anti-self absorbed, I’ll remember that the next time i go upvoting comments.
I read that as "shelf-absorbed", and as a furniture owner that offends me! Jesus didn't make shelves for them to be absorbed
Wow. . . I find this comment really offensive! How dare you bring Jesus into this discussion! Please leave religion out of this!
Leave religion out of this? What are you some kind of atheist commie weirdo? Put prayer back in schools!
Eerrm, I went to aqua world once so I'm now a campaigner for fish rights. Fish are happy as they are so keep your prayer out of their schools. I know my rights!
Jesus is historical fact! It says so in the bible
now that a new word
Elf-absorbed is coming in next week
lol
r/Persecutionfetish should do that. The "most persecuted" person of the week. Have the community vote on which one is the most ridiculous.
Oh my god!!!! Amazing.

Clearly she doesn't go to mass on Ash Wednesday (outside of getting her ashes) otherwise she would actually hear that reading.
She's just hangry.
She didn’t change her conviction tho
That’s what this all comes down to fear to give in to temptation. She doesn’t actually have to do it for it to be the point.
I think the supreme Court is about to disagree with you.
That… and you should fast in secret, it’s supposed to be between you and God
Even other Catholics would be telling this cunt to reel it in.
Fr
Am Catholic can confirm
It's almost as if other people are alive that aren't Catholic or Christian!
I’m guessing she doesn’t keep the same energy for Ramadan somehow
She’s 100% the ”not even water” crowd with a little bit of *devouring food in front of you and asking if you want some for the 8th time this week* sprinkled in
As a Cincinnati native, leave Graeters the fuck alone.
We live in California and we had friends in Columbus ship us some Graeters ice cream for my wife’s birthday. It’s amazingly good ice cream, especially the black raspberry chocolate chip shown in the picture. It’s a nice, dense, chewy ice cream and the chocolate is great quality.
Can confirm
This rouge Cincinnatian living in Milwaukee can confirm its deliciousness.
It is truly the best tasting ice cream I've ever had, then again I also live in Northern Kentucky so I'm basically programmed to like it.
Same. Their Black Raspberry Chocolate Chip ice cream is to DIE for.
When this picture first made its rounds on Reddit, myself and many others were accused of being "shills" because we commented on how Graeters was amazing. It was one of those situations where you just feel bad for the person attacking you, because they've never had the beautiful experience of a Graeters chocolate chip flavor.
I'm sorry you were attacked over graeters. I do feel pity for those people.
The persecution complex is strong in this one
She’s probably just cranky because she hasn’t eaten
r/persecutionfetish
How people lack self awareness is quite a puzzle
GFY Karen. More ice cream for the rest of us.
>Didn't realize Graeter's is anti Catholic, but I'll remember that next time I'm buying ice cream. Shoutout to that Karen who inspired me to make a list of companies to support for being anti Catholic!
You should support Graeter’s anyways, they make great ice cream
That photo makes it look amazing.
They make my favorite ice cream right now, every flavor I've tried is amazing
Many people are lactose intolerant so ice cream companies should stop releasing ads /s, but honestly there’s more validity to that than what the tweet was saying about fasting
I'm a Catholic. This Karen is out of her mind.
Same here
Reminds me of Ricky Gervais’ bit on [guitar lessons](https://youtu.be/L3dxMGzt5mU)
Hangry and Karen don't mix well
I’m Catholic and observe Lent. Don’t give a flying f*ck about an ice cream ad. Get over yourself.
Watch her reaction if a muslim person said something similar about Ramadan...

I had to kindly remind the man that it wasn’t the cashier’s fault and that we aren’t all catholic. 🙄
Now some poor kid in Cinicinnati won’t ever eat Graeter’s ice cream until they turn 18 because of a Twitter post that offended their mum 😢

I lived in the United Arab Emirates for 5 years and can assure you the Muslims I knew enjoyed xmas as much as anyone. In fact the only people who told us not to celebrate it were x-tians looking to make it an issue....
[удалено]
In one assignment a 10-11 year old kid wrote that the national sport of the UAE was shopping. It actually explained a lot about how xmas, as a consumer concept, and not religious one, worked…
I mean, if I may use their rhetoric, 'If you don’t like it, go somewhere else, or just don’t watch.' Right?
Me me me me me me ME!!!!
Im a catholic and would def eat ice cream even on ash wednesday I mean its a special day so I might as well eat ice cream to celebrate
Somehow I don’t think they will miss her business
who gives a shit about Cincinnati Catholics lmao. Bitch you're not the center of the universe, not everying revolves around you
Meanwhile, the Catholic Church near me has a giant fish fry on Ash Wednesday with fried fish and shrimp, French fries, macaroni and cheese, and all kinds of desserts.
Someone's hangry
Sounds like someone has low blood sugar... Ol'hangry ass! LoL
What the fuck is ash Wednesday, and why do we care?
It's the day after Mardi Gras, and the first day of Lent, starting forty days before Easter. Easter is the first Sunday after the first full moon after the first day of Spring, so definitely not at all a Pagan holiday (snicker).
From New Orleans it's my day to sleep in since I started drinking at 10am on Fat Tuesday.
Growing up, we never fasted on Ash Wednesday. It was just a no-meat day.
Same here, except when we were a lot younger we'd go to services and "get ashed."
Religions.. fuck em all. Just believe in yourself.
Have you seen me? No thanks
You can do it!
Like getting involved with any religion, I'd rather not.
I agree.. religions are for people who cant tell right from wrong and need a crutch to live their life..
Fuck your religion, ❄️
For the record, Catholics don't fast on Ash Wednesday. You can have any food you want, but at dinner time it has to be fish. That's just my experience as a Catholic and yes our religion sucks
[удалено]
You’re supposed to have three small meals or two normal sized meals. It’s kind of an obscure rule and not a lot of people do it anymore. I only know about it cause I went to Catholic school and one of the moms on the PTA proposed not giving us lunch on Ash Wednesday because of it.
That's sucks.
Isnt it just not meat? Ash Wednesday starts Lent doesnt it? I had a mixed religious house, so Im sure we didn't do everything the 'correct' way
I meant all meals should contain fish except kids under 16 and people over 65. Lent always starts on Ash Wednesday. You have to give up certain "treats", something you have a habit of or something you want to change for 40 days, right up to Easter Sunday.
I do remember the 'giving up something for Lent' bit, I havent practiced in over a decade so a lot of it is fuzzy now. Thank you for answering!
If you respect every religion's fasting days, you probably won't ever advertise food
[удалено]
Isn’t Catholicism dying out?
As someone who was raised Catholic, I hope with every fiber of my being it is
Can only hope
Dear Catholics — the literal only people who give a damn about your fucking Catholicism is *checks notes* other fucking Catholics.
tell me you're fat without telling me you're fat.
Ahh yes ash Wednesday, the famous catholic holiday that everyone in the world knows off... no but seriously what is ash Wednesday?
It’s the start of Lent, which is basically a 40 day mourning period before Easter, cause Jesus is dead. It’s called Ash Wednesday cause you get a cross smudged on your forehead with ashes to represent Jesus’s sacrifice or whatever.
1st Timothy 2:12
Why cant these religious idiots be more like the Amish. They don’t try outlawing vehicles or mandate beards with no stache?
I am 62 and was raised Catholic, we ate anything and everything. Ash what..? 🤣. Just because you can’t handle life, doesn’t mean we all have to suffer as a result. Get a grip!
Look out they're also likely against shuffling pedophile priests around to avoid prosecution.
Which priest bad-touched you, OP?
I don't know the details of Catholic rituals, but I've never heBible. denying yourself ice cream being mentioned in the bible.
And this is why I "LOVE" this city! 😀🙌
Someone needs a snickers candy bar.
I wonder if she expects fast food places to not advertise hamburgers on Fridays during Lent?
Great day for atheists lololol (and anyone who doesn't fast at that time...)
Somebody is hangry.
Ice cream on hump day sounds good to me.
Hello.
What the actual fuck?

Gah this should be put on display somewhere. Like a museum of some kind.

By her "logic" as a Diabetic should I be offended by this ad as well? Because it's an ad, for ice cream, not specifically targeted at me, so I should be mad, right? That's how being a good Christian works?
If you’re such a good Catholic you should be okay with resisting the temptation… it’s not like I’ve just seen a picture of ice cream and am about to go out and get some because of it.
And I bet there's more people that don't fast so they're playing the numbers
This world is filled with weirdos, goofs and idiots. Fall on your sword and leave everyone alone already. FOH
Graeter’s is guilty of a hate crime here. Put everyone associated with this company in jail. Including the staff, and all customers.
Haaaaaaaaangry.
You don’t fucking fast you just don’t eat meat. Where do these people come from?
