Father Mann Makes a Case for Vegetarianism
"The Tablet," the weekly paper for the Catholic Diocese of Brooklyn, published a series of 3 articles written by Fr. Frank Mann in which he makes a call for mercy and compassion, and encourages Christians to adopt a plant-based diet.

http://thetablet.org/?tag=what-humans-owe-to-animalsAlthough for the most part the brutal treatment of God’s farmed animals is not in the radar of church leaders, it’s encouraging to learn that some spiritual leaders, such as Fr. Mann, recognize the paramount importance of treating animals with compassion and kindness, which ultimately leads to abstaining from hurting and killing them; thus, not eating them. Indeed, faith and choice of diet are intimately related.
