Yep. I was just citing the article. I should have added what you did. In fact, at Mass today our Priest spoke about just that and noted he had been speaking with an Orthodox Priest in Pittsburgh yeaterday and they chatted about Christmas etc.
I think that maybe I'll haul the Bride over to Tarpon Springs next year and witness the festivities. One can't get enough of these public professions of Faith.
Maybe one of these days, our Catholic Diocese will wake-up and get a clue...
I hope you dind't take it the wrong way. It was simply an "oh, by the way comment" because in the west it is not often spoken of. What's more important is that you made the effort to share this with us, and for that I thank you.
You are not the only voice. There are clergy and laity who share your sentiment. Chief amongst you is none other than +Benedict XVI.
