New York Cardinal: "Lent Is Kind of Catholic Ramadan"

Cardinal Timothy Dolan of New York posted a video on X.com (February 28) trying to motivate Catholics for Lent while munching on a cookie.

He referred to the serious observance of the Islamic month of Ramadan: "You realize that tomorrow Ramadan starts? Ramadan is the season of penance for our Islamic brothers and sisters."

The Cardinal added: "Ash Wednesday is next Wednesday, and that's kind of our Catholic Ramadan."

His idea is to "unite with our Islamic brothers and sisters in prayer and fasting."

Cardinal Dolan's tolerant pieties are obnoxious, and I'm not sure why he's waving the cookie at the camera, but he's correct to note that Muslims often put us to shame with their discipline.

He does not make a proper distinction between fasting and the practise of intermittent gluttony.

Muslims only fast till sundown and then gorge themselves ,this is not fasting.

How about Bishop Sheen’s elevation to Blessed, Cookie Boy? Too Catholic for ya? Hypocrite.

As far as I know, it is not just a photo, it is a video, but in any case it is an undeniable reality.

From the Cardinal who invoked neither the Holy Trinity nor our Lord Jesus Christ during his prayer on Inauguration Day.

May our good Lord and Savior Jesus Christ have mercy on him!
Amen.

I think that it is more accurate (if perhaps undiplomatic - but he opened the barn door) to assert that Ramadan is a kind of Catholic Lent since the latter prefigures the former. It unclear why a cardinal of the Church would even have to make such a comparison - does it really clarify anything for his flock?!!

Unbelievable.

Ramadan is faux penance. It is phony just like the rest of an Islam. This Cardinal ,comparing it with Lent is also a phony

foward

Muslims are not our brothers and sisters

Fine, let's fast during Lent. But leave this "Muslim brothers and sisters" stuff out of it...except for a friend of mine years ago, a Muslim from Senegal. We had him to dinner and served him pork and wine. He enjoyed himself.

Dumb! Ramadan is a poor attempt to copy lent!

foward

What it has are abundant meals at night.
Let's not talk about imitation.

Good Lord.....is that a Girl Scout cookie he's munching on? While speaking about fasting? And uniting with satanic idolators, no less? God help us all.

Jesus Christ called the pharisees hypocrites.
This useless and perverted "cookie eater", what would He call him?

He can go right a head and act like an apostate, he shouldn’t expect anyone to follow.
