Tom Hoopes on Ways Christmas is Counter-Cultural

"The lessons of Christmas are like a miracle. They are well known to us - but still have the power to come as a shock each year, as if we had never heard them before.

"Christmas is counter-cultural in significant ways, and by meditating on Jesus and the creche we can heal places in our heart where we have allowed the ways of the world to make us callous."

In a recent commentary, Tom Hoopes (writer in residence at Benedictine College, Atchison, Kansas) offered a number of ways in which Christmas is counter-cultural (including Christmas putting politics in perspective and Christmas teaching that babies are important).
