"In the light of all this approval from Sacred Scripture, let me ask my listeners once more: 'Has anybody the right to criticize us even if we seem to be beside ourselves with joy today over the birthday of our King?' If the princes and rulers of this world are privileged to make merry over the sons of their flesh, what a mountain of reasons we have for exulting over the birth of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, our Savior!" - Saint Peter Canisius, whose memory the Church celebrates today (21 December)
News and notes from Tom Lopatosky on a variety of subjects including religion (especially Roman Catholicism); inspiration; New England; fire, rescue, and emergency medical services; and municipal government issues.
