Yep! Imagine having “gluttony” month or “sloth” month! Yes, I know, those and greed and all the sins are very much present in our daily lives, but to go all out and actually formally celebrate one of those for a month? Madness!
CS Lewis was no Catholic either, yet he convincingly argued that pride is the greatest sin, see here:
“ Unchastity, anger, greed, drunkenness, and all that, are mere fleabites in comparison: it was through Pride that the devil became the devil: Pride leads to every other vice: it is the complete anti-God state of mind.”
I have a tendency to agree with Lewis, I know in my own life when I really look at where my sin comes from it is invariably pride of one form or another.
Looking at America’s obesity crisis I suspect we are celebrating gluttony month every month.
You are so right!! It is astonishing that people want to reveal and celebrate their sins publicly and be proud about their destructive behaviors. It's a sign of impending collapse and disaster of civilization.

Every day of every month

That they are enabled—no, ENCOURAGED—by educational institutions at every level is abominable.
