Christianity gets flamed more I’d say. As for saints, I’m a saint. Every born again Christian is a saint, and that’s biblical.

The reason I talk about Christmas like this, is because it takes away from what it really is.

In this day and age we are bombarded by so many things, and more and more becomes acceptable, but the way is narrow.

To be clear, historical fact is that Saint Nick lived and he was a bishop. He was a holy man and after he died he was canonized a saint in the Catholic Church, as defined by Catholicism, which also states that no one is a saint until after they’re dead; that people can be holy while alive but are not saints until after they’re done here.

Your idea of sainthood is a belief, and I don’t say you cannot believe that. I don’t even say you’re wrong I’m just saying what the Catholic Church states.

If you have a difference with that and you want to tell us what to believe, you are free to take it up with a priest. But I cannot help you

Don’t tell me what to believe as I won’t tell you what to believe,
