this is where the catholic church fails in my vierw. just cause you believe something doesnt mean you worship it. its their way or the highway. i will take the highway. and i was born and raised roman catholic. they should get with the times. but not destroy their religion and what they beleive. but letting the kids believe in santa as another way to get them to do the good word and teachings of jesus they can incorporate.
you believe in jesus and be good, great your soul goes to heaven. you be good each year and santa gives you gifts. which one do you think the kids care about more?
Christ mas is about the birth of Christ. Santa is a false idol that detracts from celebrating the birth of Christ...how can you not see that as worshipping a false idol?
The greatest trick the devil ever played was making you believe he doesn't exist

I by no means am religious, but you have to understand the situation unbiased.
