Swing on him, Francis. I don’t mind the displays, or the menorah on lawns, even public squares, but not in the courts, or government functions, please. Which, being “mostly Buddhist”, I have no problem saying “Merry Christmas” to folks, and enjoying the spirit of what Christ had to teach (for the most part, but drop the “I come not to bring peace, but with a sword” bit), but the commercialism, and greed??? Hmm, the money changers comes to mind, along with the hypocrites who pray, and give, only in public, so they can be seen for their “piety”..
