"I have never heard anything that says one's status as a Catholic, a Christian, or even the status of one's salvation is at all connected to what one eats." Actually, Scripture makes it clear that quite the opposite is the case. We may eat what we choose and what one does or does not eat is a non-issue as far as our salvation is concerned. We are permitted to eat meat (though I highly suspect that if Jesus were walking the Earth today, He would greatly disapprove of modern factory farming), but we are certainly not required to. I work with a very orthodox Catholic street ministry in inner-city DC. At this point, we have a core group of 12 street outreach counselors - and 3 of us are vegan. That's 25% of a group of highly orthodox Catholics!
