Did the ashes he use have purple glitter in them? ' cause you can't be repentant of your sins going into Lent AND support the " marginalized, periphery of all things sparkly and gay ....without purple glitter. This particular abomination is brought to us by the" Glitter-Ash Wednesday", a " Christian Coalition " to show " love" and support for the LGBTQ + Community and " affirm them in thier special spiritual gifts". What colour should adulterers get? Gluttons? Liars?Thieves? Murderers? And so on. Black ashes you say... yes I believe everyone should wear black ashes. No SIN IS SPECIAL! As Catholics, as human beings each and every one of us is a SINNER and in much need of repentance . We affirm one another in OUR FAITH, NOT OUR SINS.
