    Using animal products is not vegan.

    Edit:

    The comparison doesn’t apply here as using honey goes against the very definition of veganism.

    ”Veganism is a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practicable—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose; and by extension, promotes the development and use of animal-free alternatives for the benefit of animals, humans and the environment. In dietary terms it denotes the practice of dispensing with all products derived wholly or partly from animals."

      Following the pope’s dictums is the very definition of Catholicism. As a former Catholic myself, the comparison seems entirely apt. Clearly we disagree. Continuing to just say “No U!” seems like the kind of pointless waste of time that belongs on reddit.
