He couldn't under the Catholic Church and then the Pope at the time totally got ticked off and excommunicated him from the Roman Catholic Church.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02491795869831026753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8679304203742128093.post-80131660546943952082010-02-17T22:37:36.607-05:002010-02-17T22:37:36.607-05:00I don't know anybody who still knows and pract...I don't know anybody who still knows and practices Lent. <br />The whole idea is to reject temptations, to be in control of our appetites.<br />Neat Uh?

But I was brought up, as a practising christian, from birth till 11 or 12 yrs of age, when I was allowed to decide for myself, and I have NEVER heard of sundays not counting! What?! I now only go to church for weddings, christenings and funerals. I'm not catholic, I'm Church of England (thanks to old King Henry 8th & his 6 wives, one of which he invented the Church of England for, so he could then divorce her, to enable him to remarry the next one) I think it was? Divorced, beheaded, died. Divorced, beheaded, survived.<br />ALL 40 days+ of lent should count, if you believe. I've never heard of that before.....Brighton Mum-Teenage Angsthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01093107433174519425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8679304203742128093.post-7350473021156816452010-02-17T20:45:24.514-05:002010-02-17T20:45:24.514-05:00Mrs. L - apparently, along the new rules lines, it...Mrs. L - apparently, along the new rules lines, it isn't just about giving stuff up anymore - you can also "add" things - service to others, more prayer, etc. to your routine.
