Am I correct, Proty? <br /><br />If not, I will be praying for you. I once had two Jehovahs Witnesses visit me. Both the ladies were fallen away Catholics.

Fast and abstinence from flesh meat are the only obligatory penances. "Giving-up" anything during Lent is a purely voluntary penance on top of the obligatory ones.
