I was just in southeast Louisiana, about 60 miles from New Orleans. It’s Marti Gras time there, the RCC lent festival. “Fat Tuesday.” A pastor there has a unique name for it, with all it’s debauchery and blatant homosexuality, he said it ought to be called Naughty Gras.

Its Marti Gras time there, the RCC lent festival There is nothing Catholic about how the secular world chooses to be 'spiritual'. Their debauched celebrations are not Catholic and neither are most of the partiers.
Historically speaking, Mardi Gras (Fat Tuesday) marked the last day before the strict Lenten fast. People would eat the eggs and such foods that were not part of the fast. The rot that goes on prior to Ash Wednesday has nothing to do with the Church or its doctrines and practices. My Catholic friends have chosen their spiritual reading and sacrifices to make ready for Easter, for that is what real Catholics do.

Under cover of piety, they are debauched.
