Pope has to kick out the perverts that run the church. But that may never happen. It will take an act of God. So pray for the church itself.

Otherwise Ash Wednesday is a nice ceremony. Gets the good people together.

Did anyone notice how many times he mentioned the meaning of the ashes placed on our foreheads Today?......And this is the Pope that everyone says is such a Traditionalist.......Well folks those ashes weren't mentioned once.I like to get ashes.It seems as if there is a huge difference between clerical-thinking & the Lay persons love of the significance of sacramentals "For Dust thou art,and unto dust shalt thou return"(Gen.3:19)

@tlaniganschmidt Oh no, not another one of these people who think they are more Catholic than the Pope. Such arrogance.

@Truthful4444  In a culture ruled by Lady GaGa ,the Jersey Shore & $300 dollar sneakers.That little smudge of ashes made from the burning of last-years Blessed-Palms would be a masterpiece of conceptual-Art even if it weren't blessed.That one little smudge says it all .Today's Star is Tomorrow's{who's-dat?}Christ on a donkey was praised more than an equestrian army general.So last years palms of praise become this years ashes.The finale will be the Resurrection,but first the Crucifixion & ashes
