No.
Everyone is invited to one last celebration before we start 40 days of fasting and prayer.
All are also invited to join us in our Lenten observance.
The Catholic Church and many other Christians Churches follow the Biblical practice of Jesus Christ and the Jews in setting aside days where the entire Church fasts and prays as one in a attitude of constant renewal.
By the solemn forty days of Lent the Church unites herself each year to the mystery of Jesus in the desert and in spiritual preparation for the celebration of His Passion, Death, and Resurrection.
This season of penance is an intense moments of the Church's penitential practice and are particularly appropriate for spiritual exercises, penitential liturgies, pilgrimages as signs of penance, voluntary self-denial such as fasting and almsgiving, and charitable and missionary works.
With love in Christ.

I agree with ima. Catholics do not run America, Americans do. The pope has no say here. The Catholic Church dares not infringe on rights. If they do, there will be another inquisition. But Catholics will not be burning unarmed poor people like in the past. Somebody else will feel the heat.

Yes. I'm sick of Protestants co-opting our religious festivals.
