***The confusion over whether St. Christopher is still a saint arose when Pope Paul VI revised the Liturgical Calendar,***
I am reminded of a newspaper story from forty years ago.
A news reporter was on a combat helicopter flight in South Vietnam when he noticed a soldier with his hand embracing a St Christopher medal.
The reporter leaned over and said..”The Pope says St Christopher doesn’t count anymore”.
The soldier replied...”The Pope ain’t over here getting his *** shot off!”
Wonderful!
