I'm giving up popish traditions for Lent.
Just how much financial interest does Rome have in the global fishing industry? How about the silk, precious metals, and the jewelry business? Full disclosure, please.
I'd rather observe the lent from my pockets.

Lent is just a time in Christian tradition when folks do some additional "fasting". Sometimes I do and some times I don't. If one has a problem with the "Christian Calendar" like the season of Lent and Advent, then they definately should not ascribe to the "holy days" of Easter and Christmas. In my opinion there is no other Holy Day than the Lord's Day; but I also believe that there is nothing wrong with focusing on certain aspects of Christ's ministry and sacrifice during certain times of the year, as long as it is not mandated by the Church nor participated in an unsacrifical and feign manner.
A time of persoanl examination is always good (especially before partaking in the Lord's Supper) and repentance should be an imediate response to discovering any misaffection within us. If Lent ever had any worth to the Church it has been replaced by superstition as evidenced in this story from the 'church' in England.

I agree that Lent as it is practiced by Catholics is not a desirable thing but...
I'd hate to call any similarity between Catholics and Protestants "Popish". Is Augustine Popish? Would stay away from The Nicene Creed?
Anyone who went to Catholic grade school in the 50's or 60's should remember "buying pagan babies" during lent. You'd save up your pocket change and then give it to the nun or teacher who sent it to the "Pontifical Association of the Holy Childhood" to buy pagan babies (they later changed it to "adopt"). Then you'd get a certificate (can be found online with a 2C violation image) "...as a souvenir of the Ransom and Baptism of an adopted Pagan Baby named..."
The same Holy Childhood organization sold the RC version of Christmas Seals which we had to peddle on the streets and to relatives.
