Dear ByzanTN,

Actually, Lent has probably not been long enough.

This seems to be a case of a "Pastor" indulging him desires or those of his flock, rather than seeking to do the will of the Father.

This happens too often. Or maybe it is a deliberate effort to shock more traditional Christians, to be "in your face".

Overall, I see it as a sign that more, rather than less, repentance and self sacrifice is needed.

You are probably right about that. But when I think I have seen it all, something like this comes along.
