Along time ago, I took a course with Peter Henriot, S.J., during his seventeen-year tenure at the Center of Concern in Washington, D.C. Toward the end of the class, he said something along these lines: “I know that Red Dye #40 is bad for us, so on Mondays I refrain from consuming anything with Red Dye #40. We are boycotting this particular company’s products, so on Tuesday I eat nothing made by that company. On Wednesday, I fast for the sake of being in solidarity with those in the world who have no food to eat. On Thursday … ” And so on. But, “On Sunday, I do whatever I want.”
