Kath, that is encouraging to hear.
Can you imagine what a task it would be (especially in the USA) to get all the dioceses (?) in order if the churches were to unite? Not impossible, but certainly daunting.

You know, in reality, we only seem "Pope-centric" because people talk, talk, talk about the pope all the time. Its kinda like how people blab about Bush all the time when in reality the Federal government has basically no affect on their day to day life.
The fact is, every Catholic bishop is virtually autonomous in his own diocese. It would be an extremely rare day indeed if a pope ever interfered in the doings of a diocese other than his own.

Santa claus? I think you mean satan clause! NO single legend has ever done so much to eclipse the view of the true meaning of Immanuel than this one...LOL that's actually pretty funny. My birthday is actually on Christmas, but we had to change the day to celebrate to Christmas Eve because my brother and sister used to think that Santa Claus favored me because I had more presents

We commemorate St. Nicolaos (Nicholas)
a 'warrior' of Christ against heresy and an example of Christian charity.
The Incarnation was more than an event; Immanuel continues also in the witness of those who "love and live" Him.
Couple thingsAMEN!! Saint Nicholas is no "fable". How insulting. Saint Nicholas is alive and well, beholding the face of God as are all others who have died in God's friendship.
Saint Nicholas, pray for us.
What do ya think telling your kid santa claus dropped off presents down the chimney isn't a lie?Excuse me? You know what you are just a hateful angry person and deserve no response to that.
