A Personal Mythology


I grew up in the 1950s as a devout Catholic boy. In those days Catholics, as a matter of Church discipline, abstained from eating meat on Fridays. "Meat" included beef, pork, lamb, and chicken, but not fish or shellfish. So the rule was sometimes called "Fish on Friday," though that was not the exact command.

For a Catholic, eating meat on Friday was considered a very serious sin--mortal sin--that would cause you to be damned in hell forever if you hadn't confessed it and received absolution.

The meat-eating itself wasn't the sin. The sin was disobeying Church law.

The sin of eating meat on Friday was a favorite topic in Catechism class and discussion of moral theology: "just how much meat was involved?" "did you have to know you were eating it?" "did you have to taste it?" "was your intention to violate Church law?" "or just to satisfy hunger?" "was your health threatened?"

Especially interesting to me in those days was the case of a priest who came into the rectory dining room for lunch and was served soup. The soup perhaps was a conglomeration of leftovers from the week. What if there was a little bit of beef or chicken? What if the priest were hungry from having had to fast from food from midnight on in order to say Mass and receive Communion for noon service? What if he gobbled the soup, and halfway through the bowl thought he bit into a chunk of something that seemd to taste like chicken? What if he even enjoyed the taste of whatever it was? At what point in his lunch was he damned for eternity?

Well, the whole discussion was a little silly. What kind of God would punish somebody who had devoted their whole life to religion for enjoying the taste of chicken meat on the wrong day of the week?

In 1966, Pope Paul VI changed the rule. While doing penance of some sort on Fridays, and especially during Lent, is still urged in commemoration of Jesus's having died on a Friday, the rule about not eating meat on Friday was abolished.

But what about all those poor priests who
for centuries had been sent to hell for even an innocent violation of Church law like tasting the meat in the soup?

As a student of Comparative Religion and devoted scholar of the philosopher of religion Joseph Campbell, I thought the dilemma silly and missing the point of religious practice. But I was also fascinated by the "problem."

I liked the practice of fish on Friday, not because it was penitential, but because it was gastronomical. Seafood has become a delicacy, more expensive than meat. The whole penitential aspect had been turned upside down. Fish is good food. It's part of rounded diet. So it's a good idea to keep seafood in the rotation of one's menu.

But thinking about those poor priests, one day I had the inspiration--and whimsy--that if I would choose to not eat meat on Friday, when I didn't have to anymore, each time one of those priests would be released from hell. A nice thought, a mythical adjunct to a self-chosen discipline and dietary practice.

So I have been practicing the no meat on Friday rule now for decades. That really isn't very many souls freed from hell, but it has been a reminder to me to be generous and to understand that my actions have consequences in the lives of others.

I don't think I really think there are priests being released from hell on a weekly basis. I don't think there is such a thing as hell--and if there were, the God Jesus told us to address as "Father" would not punish people with hell for minor infractions. If there is a hell, you'd have to be a very, very bad person to get yourself consigned there.

Hell is one of the worst ideas religion has imposed on us. The fear that suffering and pain could be everlasting haunts us because of these stories. We are not better people because we suffer these nightmares.

As silly as my "spiritual discipline" of self-imposed Friday abstinence is, it's a way of standing up against the myth of hell.

What hell and heaven really mean is that we can choose how we experience our lives. We make heaven or hell out of our daily lives by our feelings and attitudes. If we harbor hatred and vengeance, then we are immersed in a kind of hell. If we generate love and joy around us, we live in heaven and radiate heaven to those around us.

One of the most powerful of the aphorisms from Thaddeus Golas's  The Lazy Man's Guide to Enlightenment -- though the idea is not unique to this wonderful little book -- is this:

"When you learn to love hell,
you will be in heaven."
