    Yes, Santa Claus does exist

    Born in Asia Minor, St. Nicholas was favored by God with the power of miracles. He was a beloved Bishop in the Church. He used his inheritance to provide dowries for three sisters who were about to be sold into slavery due to their family's poverty. He is famous for his love for children and his name and reputation have been transformed by modern folklore into "Santa Claus."

    I didn't know this...

    He participated in the Council of Nicea in 325, until he was ejected for slapping Arius on the face.

    Good for Arius.

    Are Catholics the only ones left that know there is a living Communion of Saints in heaven intimately involved with our daily lives? I am pretty sure the Lutherans tossed that out along with Purgatory.

    Which is why only Catholics name their Churchs after Saints for the last 60 odd years. And unfortunately why new Catholic Churches are named Prince of Peace, or Good Shephard, or whatever... they are afraid of offending the ecumenical spirit by using Saint names if no one else believes in Saints... shame on them. Without the help of our Saints, we would be very poorer.
