I want to sneak in and decorate the chalice used during communion with diamonds that says "Krunk Juice" on it. If you're going to drink alcohol out of a cup made of gold, might as well go all the way Padre.
I would be unable to sit through mass if the priest raised a chalice that said "Kunrk Juice" in diamonds during the consecration.
Generally I find it more fulfilling to do something extra for Lent alongside giving something up. For the last few years I've been making my way through the Gospels, and this year I'm up to the Gospel of Luke. I'm also giving up extraneous sugar.
Also, for all Catholics, a reminder that today is supposed to be a fasting day. So no meat, but also much less food in general.
If you're going to get technical, no birth control, sex before marriage, and give them 10% of your total income for the year.
what the hell? ten percent?
I always thought it was a "throw in a dollar if you like" sort of deal
so that means there's one church employee for each church-goer?
No, I believe it is based literally on a line from the Bible that dictates one give a certain percentage of income (or total wealth?) to charity/the Church each year.
tithing, 10%
I never tithed and I'm better off than my parents who do, so y'know.
that seems like a crazy amount of money
also I meant "one church employee for every 10 church-goers" because the other way doesn't make sense
I am not Catholic, but I have never been to a Church that demands you give them 10% of your money or else...
"Tithing" is archaic and one of the several reasons for the ludicrous days of the Reformation. Nobody expects you to pay fucking TAXES to the church, just donate some money so that they can stay open and the priest can have a cheeseburger every now and again.

It's easy for individual churches to ask for cash to fix their leaky roofs or whatever, but the concept of a body so mind-blowingly rich that their property cannot be properly insured in the traditional sense (Vatican City, the various churches and cathedrals of Rome) asking for any of your money is a little bit silly.

I was going for a Krunk juice Lil' John joke though.
I got some pamphlets from some Scientologists once, but I didn't have time to get my thetans checked.
The pamphlets were awesome though, they had a bunch of questions to check if maybe you needed scientology that were like
"have you ever been sad?"
"Do you ever want to do stuff?"
"Do you ever NOT want to do stuff?"

My church generally uses the money from donations to feed the homeless and do other missionary/charity projects around town.
Since donations have dropped a bit, we've cut back from our program that helps people pay bills.
Lent is a time where you either give up something or do something extra. I think I'll just go to church on Weds. I was going to give up "Drugs, Sex, and Rock n' Roll" for Lent, but I think that'd be too much.

Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but dies in the process.
My sister's husband was raised as a scientologist. They were married by a scientologist minister(?). He's just a normal dude, though, and doesn't really know much about the weird scientology stuff that most internet people are up in arms about. The most out there thing he believes in is detox.

how is missionary "work" equitable to charity
Missionary work also often includes participating in social programs thereby spreading the gospel of compassion and yada yada.

Stuff like that, presumably.
now if they could just help people without lying to them
I did the scientology stress test thing at this booth at school. I went there wanting to make fun of them, but it was just sad. The dude was all "do you ever feel sad about yourself and your life well this can help you overcome those feelings and push the bad thoughts away." I just wanted to give him a hug.
Then they told my gay friend that he should read the book to learn how to be not gay and that got them kicked off campus.

Even when I was Catholic I was the worst at it. Never gave up anything for Lent. Though one year I did give up Coca Cola for an entire year after having drank way too much of it the previous year.
Now I go months without any, so I guess it worked out okay.

Incorrect.
But it's not exactly a hoe-down every Sunday, no.
none of this we'll see shenanigans

This joke is about as old as Lent itself.

Let your dear and fluffly lord figure it out. He's supposed to be all knowing.
look, like all the cultural elite, I worship Pan, the Goat God.
And he is anything but fluffy
yes but with a simple modification it can be a metal gear solid 3 joke
