	"Religious season are no longer relevant in today's society"- Do you agree or disagree?
	Advantages Society is becoming more secular and people are becoming less obedient in following religious calendars. Moral relativism- People can decide for themselves whether they thing an event should be celebrated or not, it is not up to the Church to dictate what must be celebrated. Multiculturalism- There are so many different religions with different religious calendars, people celebrate some seasons regardless of their religion e.g. Christmas. 'The mass is the source and summit of Catholic worship' therefore, as long as we celebrate mass, religious seasons are irrelevant	Disadvantages 'The truth is still the truth even if nobody believes it, and a lie is still a lie even if everyone beliefs it' -The past should still be celebrated even if not everyone agrees with it 'Ignorance of scripture is ignorance of christ"- We are taught about the doctrine of atonement, therefore, by not celebrating Easter, it would be disregarding the fact that Jesus dies to save us from eternal sin and death. Lent- encourages fasting and being charitable which is a good Christian lifestyle. Therefore, it is an important season as it makes people reflect on their behaviour and attitudes. Pentecost- The birthday of the Church. When the apostles first began to preach and baptise people as Christians
	Evaluation Religious seasons are relevant as we are celebrating significant landmarks in Christian history
