I just thought of it like this.
I'm a Phi Mu. I love my founders, I love my sisters all around the world. I love our Creed.
Do I love WORD FOR WORD the Phi Mu Creed? No. Does anyone? Prolly rare. Does that make them not a Phi Mu? DEFINITELY NOT.
I don't agree with all of our bylaws and such. Does that make me not a Phi Mu? NOPE.

My priest gave a similar homily last night. He has a track record for not voting for the winning president in every election since the 60s. And he shared that he didn't vote for Bush. Does this make him less of an American?
Ok... so maybe it depends on who you ask... bad example.
His point was that there are many who don't agree with the appointment of the new Pope. But it shouldn't make them less of a Catholic. (I'm slowly trying to bring up the Pope topic that disappeared on page 2 or so.)
And I've heard about fasting on Fridays during Lent only... but not year round. Don't know many that do observe that. And I've heard all sorts of combinations of fasting. You can eat meat after sunddown on Fridays during Lent... you can engage in your given up thing for Lent on Sundays... etc. I couldn't do food fasting for health reasons.
Perhaps my fast should be giving up GC on Fridays...
