Can I give up being Catholic for Lent?

Answer 1

That would be missing the point a bit.

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.

Answer 2

I suppose you could do whatever you want. God gave you free will. Unfortunately men interfered by inventing religion and with it rules and regulations. May be you ought to find a church that simply studies the bible and worships God and none other.

Answer 3

Sure - you have free will. You can join one of those feel good, huggy churches that say all you have to do is say this little prayer and you're saved. And then you can join their ranks of catholic bashers!
