Every Truth without exception, and whoever may utter it, is from the Holy Ghost.
(Saint Thomas Aquinas, O.P., [b. 1225 A.D. in Rocca Secca, Naples, Italy - d. Wednesday, March 7, 1274 A.D., in Fossa Nuova, Italy], Doctor of the Church, SUMMA THEOLOGICA, I-II, 109, 1, Reply to Objection 1.)
Based upon feedback from various Catholics, more and more religious and spiritual people are becoming more and more upset with the demise of "Christmas" and its substitutes: “Happy Holidays”, “Seasons Greetings”, and other secular humanist pagan suchlike.
This transition appears to have been slow, coming about over a period of many years, and quite deliberate.
On the surface, some Catholics and other Christians might not see anything "wrong" with such subtle substitutions?
Other Catholics, however, who know and understand the Catholic Faith much better, see this as an indirect attack against Christ in particular and against the Catholic Christian Faith in general.
Whether or not this is a Satanic proximate (or remote) preparation for the advent of anti-Christ, only God knows for certain. What the rest of us in this world can know for certain is that it has happened and continue to worsen because too many Catholics have been mute for too long! We hope that this little explanation will help to correct this situation.
Therefore, We encourage each person to use the data below as a reference work and to re-write all, or at least most, of what follows in their own words, according to the best of their ability, and to send it to the "Letters to the Editior" of their local newspaper(s) with their name attached at the letter-writer, not using Our name.
This is not because We do not want anyone to know that We have written what follows, but rather because "Letters to the Editior" have certain requirements for submission including the name of the person submitting the letter which is supposed to be written by the person who submits the letter.
God bless you!
In the Holy Hearts of Jesus and Mary

One finds the same for Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year’s, Easter, etc. But this tends to confuse people. From a souless worldly, materialistic, paganistic, secular perspective, this tends to be counter-productive, especially with Christmas shoppers who are targeted by retailers before Thanksgiving, and now, even before Halloween.
Thus, one finds slogans as “do your holiday shopping early”. To which exact secular holiday does this refer? Thanksgiving, Christmas, or both? Psychologically, there is nothing herein to designate the exact object for the mind and thus retailers complain about the miserable failure of their ads to get Christmas shoppers into their stores before Halloween, or at least before Thanksgiving!
After Thanksgiving, this pagan secular humanistic mentality continues unabated with “do your shopping for the holidays”! EXACTLY TO WHICH “holidays” does this refer? Does it refer to Christmas? No, it can’t be Christmas because many times the word is in the plural - “holidays”! Guess they mean New Year’s too? But who ever heard of buying New Year’s gifts?! Could these worldly pagan secular humanists possibly be referring to the Catholic Holyday of the Epiphany, January 6?! Or, maybe they are referring to the Catholic Feast Day of Saint Nicholas, December 6?
One of Our Archbishops is wont to say: “Confusion is from the Devil!”
This is what happens when greedy and worldly materialists try to horn in on Catholic Holydays and attempt to twist them into a secular excuse to buy the products and services of a world adrift in a sea of immorality which is bereft of the most rudimentary ethics, the filthy language of which, as if vomited from the cursing tongues of millions of gargoyles, flood the pure water of the streams of candid communication with the toxic waste of their four-lettered words and such-like, to which no real objections are permitted, in their flippant, and otherwise delusory or presumptuous, nemine contradicente, which seems too often to be given carte blanche by sundry judiciary vagaries.
In sum, modernists have a double-standard. One is that those secular humanists who espouse multiculturalism live in trepidation of anyone being offended or feeling excluded from their “society” - the “politically correct” term seems to be “a marginalizing of multicultural minorities”, on the one hand, while, on the other hand, these same modernist humanists, who wring their hands in horror at said least offense, exclusion or other marginalization, are oblivious to, and perhaps to some degree actually encourage, Catholics and other Christians being offended, marginalized, and otherwise excluded from society!
Such verbal, as well as concomitant visual, abominations disgust God-fearing people who see and hear, as if in an instant replay, the Satanic panegyrics accorded the Roman Emperor demi-gods, whose butcher blood-lust made countless Christian martyrs.
Having tried to hijack Catholic Feast Days and Holydays, secular humanistic society should not be surprised that some Catholics in particular, and other Christians in general, take umbrage at the denigration of such traditional terms as “Merry Christmas” by the secular humanist mass media, which is becoming more and more atheistic and to which “Christmas” is anathema because it contains the word “Christ” Whom they reject, and refers to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass which Christ perfectly instituted. Thus, “Christmas” for these pagan humanists becomes instead “Happy Holidays” or “Season’s Greetings” as the result of an apparent premeditated circumvolution! So, just exactly to how many DAYS does the term “Holidays” refer and which ones are they?
Thus, when a Catholic or other Christian wishes a “Merry Christmas” to someone who doesn't celebrate Christmas, secular humanists contend that this will result in feelings of exclusion and alienation, a rejection of multiculturalism through the “marginalizing of minorities”, just as Christmas parties and other Christmas-orientated events and activities. Without a doubt, this is a convenient misinterpretation of the First Amendment rights of all Americans by seemingly malicious megalomaniacs!
Such despicable mentality is responsible for the banishment of the Christmas Crib and Nativity Scenes at public schools and buildings, e.g. courthouses, plus the prohibition of Christmas Carols in public schools, as if a 2nd Grader singing “Adeste Fideles” would somehow bring about an ubiquitous Inquisition which would marginalize minorities, being instead the antithesis of multiculturalism.
This is nothing less than prowlerized peripatetical Pharisaic psychotic “political correctness” hypocrisy in action which, in Truth, the perpetrators impute to their victims, and is intrinsically, in terms of its ontological essence, and extrinsically, in terms of its metaphysical essence, totally specious, being simultaneously anti-God, anti-Christ, anti-Christian, anti-Christmas, and which diabolically defames Catholics and all other Christians, concerning which their anti-defamation organizations would vouch and against which they would protest!
Secular humanists and their ilk seem to be oblivious to the fact that multiculturalism is about sharing cultures! Why? Because the penumbra of Pandemonium is, in its Hegelianistic thesis and antithesis, their personalized, penurized, privatized pons asinorum, a.k.a. the black hole of the Teilhardian Omega Point, the virtual vade mecum of Cartesian eclecticism. Such psychopathic prowlers fail to realize that Christmas is an important part of the Catholic Faith which should be respected, shared and enjoyed by all. In reality, Christmas is the apogee of multiculturalism, not its converse! Christmas fills a void in the multiculturalism of these very same minorities!
For how much longer will “Merry Christmas” be obsolete and continue to be replaced by “Happy Holidays”, “Seasons Greetings”, and other secular humanist pagan suchlike, e.g. “holiday” sales, “holiday” trees, “season” cards, “holiday” lights, “holiday” presents, and schools having “winter” vacation?
“Christmas” is conspicuous by its glaring absence in the modernistic society of pagan secular humanism. But, despite its best efforts to the contrary, such an atrocious humanistic society has been unable to erase “Christmas” from most of the public psyche. One is left to wonder when the backlash against this will be felt by its impassive perpetrators?
