Ping.
Nice writing.
What I like about the church’s fight with Arianism is how Santa Claus ie the real Saint Nicholas of Myra was a badass who slapped Arius.
Not the jolly red abomination of materialistic Christmas but the real saint who helped others, was a staunch defender of the faith and was a badass
Beautiful sermon, especially regarding the hymnody of St Ambrose.
Ambrose is an important figure in RC Church history. He was also a florid and violent Jew Hater. This should always be remembered. I don’t mean he was conventionally anti-Jewish, I mean he literally frothed at the mouth over Jews being allowed to exist.
