It looks like it. According to today's Grauniad, he has warned that the celebration of Christmas is "at risk". Is he kidding? Christmas stuff starts appearing in the shops as early as August! He also says: "There are those who argue that the public celebration of festivals such as Christmas should be discouraged, in the questionable belief that it might somehow offend those of other religions or none." Are there? I've never heard anyone argue that. It's just a figment of the Daily Mail's imagination. But sadly, it seems that the Pope (or rather his badly informed speech writers) have bought into the notion. |
