His habit of performing miracles and his reputation of giving secret gifts to the faithful made him a model for Santa Claus. Saint Nicholas was the model for Saint Nicholas? Who knew?

As a Rome ignoring protestant, Id imagine that most protestants dont really care at all about magical relics.
Once while some Israelites were burying a man, suddenly they saw a band of raiders; so they threw the man's body into Elisha's tomb. When the body touched Elisha's bones, the man came to life and stood up on his feet.
Just sayin'

I thought St. Nicholas was more popular in the Orthodox Churches than he is among Catholics. Perhaps. But it's more a case of the fact that the Greeks and Orthodox are proud to "claim him."

Hard to say since they will gladly accuse their fellow Christians of “worshiping” something other than God when even a casual examination of the facts would disprove that.

May the Pope respond by asking the Turks for the return of Constantinople and Asia Minor.
To: St_Thomas_Aquinas
Would you seriously? Remains once destroyed are gone forever. Allowing a church to be resanctified can be easily reneged upon.

The concept of abrogation (inherent tool of
dualism in Political Islam) erases any lingering 'difficulty' for kaffirs educated/familiar with Islam 101:
Our first clue about the dualism is in the Koran, which is actually two books, the Koran of Mecca (early) and the Koran of Medina (later). The insight into the logic of the Koran comes from the large numbers of contradictions in it. On the surface, Islam resolves these contradictions by resorting to abrogation. This means that the verse written later supersedes the earlier verse. But in fact, since the Koran is considered by Muslims to be the perfect word of Allah, both verses are sacred and true. The later verse is better, but the earlier verse cannot be wrong since Allah is perfect. This is the foundation of dualism. Both verses are right. Both sides of the contradiction are true in dualistic logic. The circumstances govern which verse is used.

The circumstances govern which verse is used. That can be pretty convenient, if you ask me.
