Another demonstration of the Calvinist "God'll get mad if we celebrate Christmas" psychosis. No icons, no statues, no relics, no sacraments, no reverencing of Christ's own mother.............God's gonna be mad, mad, mad......!!
A sad, almost Islamic approach to God's church and his holy ones.

It is really wise to understand what others believe before one makes a fool out of themselves mocking what they do not know..

Actually Calvinists celebrate Christmas.. we actually do have sacraments.. we do honor Mary

What we do is obey Gods word and not the word of men ...

I believe Calvin was not averse to commemorating Christmas but some of his more .....um....zealous... spiritual progeny certainly objected to it. I think the Puritans adopted a Reformed theology, no? And Christmas was banned in (Presbyterian) Scotland in 1583, was it not? I also have a recollection that the Swiss Calvinists banned all festivals not mentioned in Scripture, including Christmas, yes?

You must be a fun Calvinist... :-)

Perhaps this post should be directed at those who daily display their buffoonery misrepresenting the teachings of he Church.

How many of the members of your church have made pilgrimages to or toured the Holy Land? How many have rejoiced in Bethlehem, how many have contemplated His miracles at the Pool of Bethesda, how many prayed at Gethsemane, how many have wept at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, how many have walked in the footsteps of the Apostles? How can any of those not be hypocrites when condemning the Catholic tradition of relics?
