Lent fast re-branded as ‘Christian Ramadan’ – Telegraph

Dutch Catholics have re-branded the Lent fast as the “Christian Ramadan” in an attempt to appeal to young people who are more likely to know about Islam than Christianity.

The Catholic charity Vastenaktie, which collects for the Third World across the Netherlands during the Lent period, is concerned that the Christian festival has become less important for the Dutch over the last generation.

“The image of the Catholic Lent must be polished. The fact that we use a Muslim term is related to the fact that Ramadan is a better-known concept among young people than Lent,” said Vastenaktie Director, Martin Van der Kuil. [emphasis mine ]

And whose fault is that, skippy? According to the article, four million of your fellow Dutchies (roughly 25% of your total population) self-identify as Roman Catholic (by far the highest percentage of citizens identifying with any religion), with 400K attending Mass weekly. Yet you need to redefine a tenet of your faith–among a populace with a near 100% literacy level–through an Islamic prism because you haven’t managed to teach these non-dumbassed kids what is means to be Roman Catholic?

Is that your honest reasoning here, Marty? I don’t buy it. I also don’t think Pope Benny16 is gonna be too happy when he gets wind of this.

Jesus is friggin’ weeping thinking he died for boobs like you.
