A little late to be posting this, isn't it?

As for Santa Claus, I agree that he is an invention of the modern world, but the "origin" of Santa that you give is over-exaggerated. Stop signing up on multiple accounts and posting overly dramatic trash.

Evil, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder.

Aren't you the same person who posted the thread "Vatican says Jesus was an extraterrestrial"? Why did you change your name? Don't you have something better to do?

Santa is evil, but the dramatic Protestant-esque pagan conspiracy just discredits the message.

It's a parody of Sedevantism.

Many of our "traditions" are based on old (very old) traditions of other cultures. I agree that this seems exaggerated. While I see where he is coming from, I don't think we are placing our children on a firey hot pit of sin when we take them to Santa Claus. As long as our children understand the True meaning of Christmas traditions I see nothing wrong with the Santa traditions.

I respectfully disagree with you here. I have a problem with Santa Claus for two reasons:

1- it causes parents to lie to their children over and over (lying is a sin)
2- it teaches them to be materialistic

I believed in Santa when I was young, and even though I knew the true meaning of Christmas, all I really thought about during Christmas was Santa. And it's what I see with other young kids, even those who know the true meaning of Christmas. When/if I ever have kids, I will instead tell them about St. Nicholas, but also tell them that the parents they receive are from their mother and I, as sort of a way to carry on the work of St. Nicholas.

Ding, we have a winner. This guy is not serious. I think the complaint about the English word God being blasphemous because it's dog backwards is enough to expose his game.

I don't know if it's a parody of sedes, or against Feeneyites with exaggerated scruples, or against all trad Catholics in general. But to the most of the world what we say is every bit as nutty as what he posts. To them it's crazy that we believe ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖity is wrong, or that people go to hell, or that there is still such a thing is heresy. This tomas guy is doing some kind of Jonathan Swift-like joke about us and playing on our perceived intolerance and strictness and paranoia.

Which, by the way, is exactly what Pope Augustine and his various incarnations used to do. Just saying.

I say it's SVism because most of his posts aimed at Pope Benedict are over the top ridiculous in standard SV hyperbole and illogic.

They're actually kind of awesome in a way.

Lol, well I don't agree with that. He is doing a parody, but I think it's a stretch -- scratch that, I know it's a stretch -- to compare the FACT of sedevacantism, which even Abp. Lefebvre treated as being plausible, and very few would suggest isn't at least a tenable theory, with exaggerated posts about BXVI looking like a devil.

Besides, in case you haven't noticed, everyone thinks that, even pagans think that. Where do you see critiques of Benedict's appearance as being uniquely sede? The man is simply evil-looking, there's no question about it. Of course we know not to judge by appearances... You are simply another virulent anti-sede as you are indoctrinated to be at SSPX.
