In his ongoing campaign against commercialization of the Christian feast of the Nativity, Pope Francis is calling on Christians to liberate Christmas, saying it has been taken "hostage" by worldliness, the Drudge Report website reports today (December 23, 2017).
"Let us free Christmas from the worldliness that has taken it hostage," the pope said yesterday.
He added, "The true spirit of Christmas is the beauty of being loved by God."
Earlier this week, Francis told a group of schoolchildren that if Jesus is removed from the holidays, Christmas is emptied of all significance.
