What I am saying is that if we make it to their benefit or not to the detriment (carrot and stick) for the average church to do the right thing, we will protect more people from being victims. Lenten practice is not necessarily Catholicism, just recommending the practice for someone who wants to experience an Easter celebration in its fullness as a part of the whole Paschal Event.
