Comments on Stop Me When I Am Lying: OK Disney - Why "Shamrock Day"?

As much as I agree with my fellow Brethern on this issue; at the end of the day we can not force our belief structure on anyone; just as God will not force us to love him. That's something we must come to on our own.
So let's take a look at it from their point of view. Perhaps Disney is trying to make the point that ALL Disney parks are for all people, races, religions, and creeds; therefore they feel if they keep St. Patrick's Day, that they are only singling out the Catholic faith; and unfortunately in this touchy feely society everyone feels entitled. Disney wants to stay neutral and in the big scheme of things, I beleive there are far more important issues to fight about; let's see: abortion, stem cell research, pornography, our youth being excited about our Catholic faith, etc.. I wish we all spent more time focusing on these kind of issues than the petty ones that really don't make or break our faith. I appreciate people's devotion to our faith and traditions, and in the Catholic world, these Saints that we honor are to be modeled after; but let's pick our battles.

Peace & Blessings

I totally agree. I think we as Catholics have been silent for too long. We have to let these corporations, communities, neighbors, etc., know that we are not going to stand by anymore while our faith is trampled upon. There are about 1 billions Catholics in the world. That is no small number. If we get together to stop attending, or purchasing, or whatever these places want from us (or at the very least threaten to), then we CAN make a difference. Remember the outcry against Wal-Mart when they didn't want to acknowledge Christmas (I think it was Happy Holidays or something like that). The had to "bring" it back into their stores because of lost profit. I have 3 children and I myself was a big Disney fan. But we are all Jesus fans more than anything else. So lets prove it to the US that we are.

My son came home from kindergarten today with a "Happy Patrick's Day" craft. Which might confuse him, his little brother is named Patrick.

No shock here. Started with "Sparkle Day" (multiple California school district speak for Christmas). Halloween became "Harvest Day". Easter vacation became "Spring Break". "Happy Holidays" replaced Merry Christmas so-as not to "offend" anyone. Well, I'm offended by that!

Multicultural political correctness makes me want to heave.

Here's the deal. I don't care if you don't believe in Christ/God or Saints. That is your business. If you don't believe, then shut up and go to work.

Better yet, come up with your own "religious holidays". Global Warming Day. St. Gore Day. Feast of the Kennedy Days. Whatever you want.

Stop me when I'm lying,
