The Mardi Gras Catholic Carnival
Be sure to check out the new Catholic Carnival - this week's theme is naturally Mardi Gras. Mardi Gras has always been a Catholic tradition tied to Lent (when we imitate Christ by fasting and penance for 40 days before Easter). But of course the New Orleans version of Mardi Gras is a secularized (and obscene) version of what Catholics envision. What to understand more? Go visit the Carnival. There's more there.
God bless,
Jay
