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 realise 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.

And 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  tha...

The failure of Bishop Emeritus Ratzinger

From the Nuke Bomb statement of Vigano.. Immediately after, the Pope asked me in a deceitful way: “What is Cardinal McCarrick like?” I answered him with complete frankness and, if you want, with great naiveté: “Holy Father, I don’t know if you know Cardinal McCarrick, but if you ask the Congregation for Bishops there is a dossier this thick about him. He corrupted generations of seminarians and priests and Pope Benedict ordered him to withdraw to a life of prayer and penance.” The Pope did not make the slightest comment about those very grave words of mine and did not show any expression of surprise on his face, as if he had already known the matter for some time, and he immediately changed the subject. But then, what was the Pope’s purpose in asking me that question: “What is Cardinal McCarrick like?” He clearly wanted to find out if I was an ally of McCarrick or not. When he was Pope, Benedict XVI failed to do what was necessary - Laicise McCarrick, turn him over to the secu...
