It's definately not a neologism, the term goes back decades. I've heard it used as a term of derision toward Catholics in the 1970's, and it wasn't new then.--RLent (talk) 20:25, 21 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Abbreviated[edit]

I first heard this in the 1950s. It was abbreviated to "MacSnaps" and used in good humor.Student7 (talk) 14:54, 28 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Abstinence[edit]

This article, and its entry in List of religious slurs, have an inaccurate portrayal of Roman Catholic abstinence discipline. There is nothing "pre-" (or post-) Vatican II about the rules. Canon Law was recoded in 1983 and the abstinence is still on the books. It's the USCCB which has softened the restrictions for the USA (some other episcopal conferences have evidently done the same.) This document is a good run-down of the rules as they currently stand. Also, Fasting and abstinence in the Roman Catholic Church seems to have accurate information. These articles do not.
