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."

Cathcon- in the land that brought you the heretical Dutch Catechism, the sickness continues- are the Bishops asleep?

The Bishop of Clifton, in his pre-Lent Christian Unity Week message, sugested that Lent be celebrated by everybody fasting fron dawn to dusk.

This is horrible, but, alas, not uncommon, since people have completely rejected their own tradition and gone after fads. The sheer irony is that anything connected with Mohammedanism should become a fad. What the Islamofascists failed to do through war, they are doing through marketing, propaganda, and infiltration. As the Archbishop of Canterbury so clearly demonstrated with his asinine statements on allowing shariah in Britain, it is evident that post-Christian secular humanism will not be able to resist the Islamacization of the Western world.
