Go Anti-Catholicism!!!

Religion Moderator, does this post violate the oh-so-sacred rules?
This article points out that Lent is an invented holiday, a product of the Catholic church. It points out that there are parallels between ancient pagan ceremonies and Lent.
It's not anti-catholic, but to someone steeped in Catholicism it may be a challenge to digest.
It is an open thread.
