Rising Hegemon
Where was the forehead ash last night? It was Ash Wednesday so where was it, especially for such two self-proclaimed devout Catholics?
Did they get a dispensation from Bill Donohue?

I'm not Catholic
But half of the odious quartet of GOP Presidential Candidates are (still less than the Supreme Court) so what I want to know is...

I'm sure it was meant to show us that they are putting government ahead of their religion. Yeah, that's the ticket!

Tar and feathers would have been more appropriate.
Ashes on the forehead are too blah for Santorum.
And Newticles has already anointed himself with "chrism".
Officially, the Eucharist is the important part of the Mass, and the ashes are nothing special in comparison. As a former Catholic, I was always amused by the Catholics who would come to receive ashes and then skip what they told the priest was receiving the body and blood of God which is supposed to be some stuff about the fullest outpouring of God's grace people can receive on Earth.
Also, Ash Wednesday isn't a holy day of obligation in the U.S., so they aren't "required" to attend Mass.
but a good catholic would.
pansypoo,
No, the day is just a day with a quirky thing in the catechism. If anything it just exposes the ignorance of most church goers. I went to every Holy Day of Obligation back in the day, and I can tell you Ash Wednesday was a big hit with people who missed the days they are "required" to be at Mass.
A good Catholic would understand this and hold people ashes on their forehead in judgement if they didn't see them at morning mass on New Years day.
even lutherans do the ash shit.
Lutherans might do the ashes, but they also don't claim to believe bread and wine is the literal body and blood of Jesus and partake in a twisted cannibalistic exercise.
Religions are different. In fact, Protestant has kind of a hidden meaning in it. Spoiler alert: "Protest." As this was about Catholics in the GOP field, what Lutherans do is largely irrelevant.
