The war on Christmas continues...
The European Union is attempting to remove the trigger word "Christmas" from their 32-page manual for language called "Union of Equality" and they recommended using the term "holiday period" instead of "Christmas period."
How about NOOO, period.
Even everyone's least favorite Pope denounced this attempt by the EU, calling it a throwback to the dictatorships of Napoleon, Hitler and Stalin.
"This is what many dictatorships have tried to do in history," said the Holy Father. "Think of Napoleon, think of the Nazi and communist dictatorship, it is a way of diluted secularism, distilled water... This is one thing that didn't work out throughout history," Pope Francis said. "The European Union must take in hand the ideals of the founding fathers, which were ideals of unity, of greatness. Be attentive not to make way for ideological colonisation... This could divide countries and [make] the European Union fall. The European Union must respect each country as it is structured inside, the variety of countries, and not want to standardise."
Oh no... this could make the EU fall? 😈
On one side I think, heck no. Christmas is Christmas and there's nothing you can do about it. No matter how hard you try to spew your progressive nonsense, and police our thoughts and language.
But on the other hand... maybe we should let the EU go ahead and spew all they want... and we can just sit back and watch it all crumble to the ground.
Pope Francis explained that the EU is threatened by "populism" that comes from both the right and left sides on the political spectrum.
"This happens when there is a superpower that dictates economic, cultural and social behaviour to the other countries," Francis said.
"We know that Europe owes its existence and its identity to many influences, but we certainly cannot forget that one of the main influences, if not the main one, was Christianity itself," the cardinal said.
Did the woke pope just admit Christianity is the main reason the West is great?
HOT TAKE.
Is the Pope canceled yet?
