Update from the Archbishops and Something for the Kids
Before we bring you this week’s update from everyone’s favorite deceased archbishops, we’d like to alert you to some excellent resources for children (or children at heart). Yes, one could view this as a shameless advertisment from Forward Movement, the sponsors of Lent Madness. Or one could choose to view this as a helpful advertisement […]
Monday Madness — March 24, 2014
The highlight of your week is already here. It’s time for another action-packed episode of Monday Madness, brought to you by the Supreme Executive Committee.

Stave Off LMW With Sunday Entertainments
Saturday morning, the world — or at least the American East Coast — awoke to the news that Nicholas Ridley had been re-martyred by John of the Cross (79% – 21%). We’d say he “went up in flames” but that might be cringe-worthy as Ridley was, in fact, burned at the stake. Now begins the […]
BREAKING NEWS: The SEC Denies Involvement In Scandal
The Supreme Executive Committee of Lent Madness categorically denies any involvement with bribery for places in the bracket of saints.

Monday Madness — March 17, 2014
The Supreme Executive Committee brings you another episode of Monday Madness, with one intrepid member of the SEC reporting from NYC on St. Patrick’s Day. Apparently, New York doesn’t realize that Patrick was walloped by Constance in the first round of Lent Madness 2011. Tim and Scott talk about the patron saint of Ireland but […]

Surviving L.M.W.
Yesterday saw J. S. Bach easily blasting Alfred the Great with both organ music and votes (65% to 35%). In a statement for the media, Johann said in a thick German accent, “I’ll be Bach…to face Anna Cooper in the next round.” Since we had the only Saturday contest of Lent Madness 2014 last weekend, […]
Of Winners and Losers
After a very close vote on Thomas Merton vs. Charles Wesley, the Supreme Executive Committee carefully reviewed all the votes. We are sorry to say that we found two instances of voter cheating, both attempting to support Merton. A voter in Springfield, Missouri, voted 21 times for Merton, while a voter in Colorado Springs, Colorado, […]
