    I loved the summary on Catholic Stuff You Should Know: Fasting is about quantity, Abstinence is about quality. I.e.: how much you eat vs. what you eat.

    Yes! It always irks me when people say they’re fasting and then it turns out when they talk about it, they’re abstaining and not fasting.

  The Catholic Foodie at the Mardi Gras Parade 

  Jeff Young, the Catholic Foodie, reports live from a festive Mardi Gras Parade in Covington, LA in a couple of ‘Audioboo‘ recordings. Mardi Gras is a Catholic tradition, and Jeff explains how it is much more than the crazy stuff you see on Bourbon Street.

  Jeff Young recently joined Deborah and Fr. Roderick for the recording of an upcoming episode of the Secrets of Disney about ‘The Princess and the Frog’. It is the first ever Disney movie to feature a Mardi Gras parade.

  However, if you want to hear the real thing, listen to Jeff’s reports here: part 1, part 2.

  “Laissez les bon temps rouler!”

  The first Season of the Secrets of Disney will soon make its debut on SQPN.com.

  Do people celebrate Mardi Gras where you live? What are the traditions in your part of the world leading up to Ash Wednesday and Lent? Let us know in the comments!

    In my international student parish we celebrate “Shrove Tuesday” by eating a lot of pancakes. Since I live in a predominantly Protestant part of The Netherlands, there are no big parades here.

    This is amazing! I never knew Mardi Gras was a Catholic tradition, because in Australia it’s known as the parade for homosexual people, and becomes a large festival of homosexuality. Good to remember that all things are good intrinsically!

    In Minnesota (Twin Cities) we don’t have a large Mardi Gras celebration, but this year my church is doing a couples dinner (with daycare!) So my wife and I are looking forward to that.
