Read any objective history of England..the supression of Christianty (membership in the Roman Catholic Church) was brutal. Priests and nuns (and the people that hid them) were hunted down and killed for many centuries. Read the life of St Thomas More or Saint Mary Ann Seton.

The rise of the Church of England (not a Christian church), promulgated by the divorce of Henry the VIII was not a spontanious outpouring by religious libertarians.

England.(translated "Angel-terre" of "Land of the angels") was Catholic the day after the first Roman outpost crumbled.

British Protestants need to complete their unholy rebellion by dropping "Land of Angels" as the name of their country and stick with "Britain" or any other pagan/athiest/socialist concoction they can think of.

This post calls to mind how Marcus Grodi of the Coming Home network reminded his viewers of how as a Protestant minister he never understood the Roman Catholic basis for the practice of Christianity especially around Christmas.

The Advent wreath with the one pink candle was a happy accident.

The embarrassing (to him) image of the Holy Family would come up and he would never, ever preach on it.

Some of his churches would even put a manger on the altar!!!! Horror of Horror STATUES!!!!

And now we come to this 12 days of Christmas song...what? no one-day celebration with a turkey, $1400.00 in gifts for the kiddies delivered by Satan Claus followed up by some football game?????
