[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have volunteer work this Wednesday and SR will stop by to distribute ashes at the office. I know my volunteer supervisor and some of team members might keep ashes on. Should I say “Happy Ash Wednesday?” Does “Have a good lent” sound more appropriate? Or should  I not say anything at all? Sorry for being clueless but would like to be polite when I see them this Wednesday. Thank you for your help![/quote]

"Have a good lent"?!  This is too stupid for words.  
Say nothing.

Don’t listen to this troll trying to make Catholics look bigoted.  Saying “Happy Lent” is completely fine. It is a day to practice humility and generosity.  It isn’t a time that people will be easily offended.

I’m a Catholic. Not this poster but a Catholic. Happy Lent is inappropriate and verges on disrespectful because you don’t know anything about my religion but decide to throw a “happy” in front of Lent because you couldn’t be bothered to learn anything about it. PP, I may not speak for all Catholics but you don’t either…[/quote]

This just goes to show that no matter what you do, you're bound to offend someone.

So just ignore and don't say anything. Sadly, those are the days that we're living in. Instead of being touched that someone is looking to recognize your holy day, someone will be angry at you.

This just goes to show that atheists will grasp at anything to make spiteful comments. [/quote]

1.  "Former catholic" might have switched to another denomination -- not become an atheist

2. You proved the point that  "Instead of being touched that someone is looking to recognize your holy day, someone will be angry at you."[/quote]
