I did not call anyone a liar.

I asserted a fact: St. Christopher is a Catholic saint. He has not been kicked out.

Your facts are wrong.

Not only is Saint Christopher a saint, he is revered as such by the Orthodox and a large portion of Protestants (for certain Anglicans and Lutherans). And as far as “making a buck” on Saint Christopher or anyone else for that matter, the only thing I know of that the Catholic Church sells are Vatican City postage stamps (just like ALL other sovereign nations do) I believe they also charge for some tours in the Vatican (but again this is the norm for EVERY world-class tour).

The anti-Catholics often fail to grasp that their anti-Catholicism is really rather petty and ridiculous compared to those in the past. Neither Luther nor Calvin EVER questioned the fact that Peter was the first pope. And not only did they not question Catholic teachings about the Blessed Virgin Mary, they CONTINUED to preach them.
