Why is Lent not important for Catholics?

Some non-catholic churches do indeed celebrate Lent, such as the Lutherans and Anglicans. One reason they do so is because they see it as a beneficial idea to focus on the central truths of the Christian faith such as the sufferings and death of Jesus. A number of non-catholics also do not celebrate Lent, although they do indeed remember Jesus' suffering and death.
