Keep Christ and The Mass in Christmas

Is does no good to explain to the Knights of Columbus that their stickers they sell - Keep Christ in Christmas - is aught but a weak echo of the protestant evangelicals who created that slogan.




But, we must keep Christ in Christmas, don't you reliase that?

 Yes. But we must keep Christ and The Mass in Christmas if we are to be Catholics.

 They look at you with dull eyes as the point just doesn't register even when one explains to them the etymology of the word Christmas:

Christmas (n.)


"Church festival observed annually in memory of the birth of Christ," late Old English Cristes mæsse, from Christ (and retaining the original vowel sound) + mass (n.2).
Written as one word from mid-14c. As a verb, "to celebrate Christmas," from 1590s. Father Christmasfirst attested in a carol attributed to Richard Smart, Rector of Plymtree (Devon) from 1435-77. Christmas-tree in modern sense first attested 1835 in American English, from German Weihnachtsbaum. Christmas cards were first designed 1843, popular by 1860s; the phrase Christmas-card was in use by 1850. Christmas-present is from 1769. Christmas Eve is Middle English Cristenmesse Even (c. 1300).

It makes no difference as the K of C appears to want nothing more than to be like those who do not worship Christ, the Protestants.

Ans so one does it for his own self....

Jesus Christ and his toxic masculinity is feared by The Hierarchy

Apparently that is how Jesus Christ is conceived of by the Roman Catholic Hierarchy. They are forever blathering about His compassion and Mercy because they instinctively fear that His Law and His Commands represents toxic masculinity. Toxic is the adjective used by progressive commies to describe masculinity because they hate and fear men. The Prelature fears it may someday actually have to stand before His Judgment Seat and be judged with right judgment and so instead of the masculine Resurrected Jesus Christ that makes professional soldiers cringe in fear the Roman Catholic Prelature (go on, identify one Prelate whose physicality, bearing, truth-telling, and identifiably masculine presence is objectively recognisable) is constrained to lie to itself and us that Jesus Christ is just a poor itinerant preacher or a resurrected version of a merciful  Percy Dovetonsils because the Truth of Jesus Christ is a  truth  that they can not bear to face. Jesus Christ was never, u

Dicky Ticker and Pajamas

ABS has been an Oakland Raiders fan since 1960 and he has become inured to their poor play and so he spends his viewing time mocking their incompetence because that is what a true fan of professional entertainment does. What, if you paid good money to listen to Luciano Pavarotti sing Nessun Dorma * and you ended-up hearing him sound like Lemmy of  Motorhead, you wouldn't be perfectly within your rights to boo or mock  him? The Raiders defensive front four plays with all of the disarming intensity, and speed, of an old lady painstakingly searching the shelves for a bargain at The Christmas Tree Shop. Two of this front four are rookies. One, Maurice Hurst, from the University of Michigan, is burdened with a bad heart and other NFL teams would not draft him. Of course, The Raiders drafted him because bargain... ABS calls him Dicky Ticker ** The second rookie is a player from a small school college, Sam Houston State College, and although P.J. Hall is short, fat, and slow
