If most Catholic's believed the truth in the first place, we wouldn't have lairs who claim to know Jesus, but rather bow down before the image of Mary...

So where is Christ or are can we relate to is atonement if we have to pray and use Mary as an intercessor,
What does Christ death stand for, what is the regeneration and rebirth that the Bible talk about...

Thou shall not worship any grieve image because God is a jealous God
Don’t be carried alway by men doctrine
Ask God to reveal himself to you and how to worship him

Now it's up to you to push that unscriptural knowledge out the door and read the truth that is written in the KJ's bible
I will just like to add: this is what happens when we decide to listen to unbiblical tradition.
Jesus would argue with the Pharisees because of their fathers tradition back in His time--it has not changed, the Catholic Church still holds on to these same traditions, traditions that are still argued today-between "Truth"...

You can only confront *the flesh* with *the Cross of Jesus Christ* which is *accepting that you have died with your flesh/self/old-man together with the crucified body of Jesus Christ* about 2019 years ago on Calvary which brought about *killed our old-flesh and replaced it with the new flesh of Jesus Christ*
thus
2 Corinthians 5:21 Living Bible (TLB)
21 For God *took the sinless Christ* and *poured into him our sins*. Then, *in exchange*, he *poured God’s goodness into us!*

Well Christmas is standing at our doors, while the world see's it as Santa bringing gifts for all to enjoy..
Merry Christmas to all...

Although most Christians celebrate December 25 as the birthday of Jesus Christ, few in the first two Christian centuries claimed any knowledge of the exact day or year in which he was born.
The oldest existing record of a Christmas celebration is found in a Roman almanac that tells of a Christ’s Nativity festival led by the church of Rome in 336 A.D.
The precise reason why Christmas came to be celebrated on December 25 remains obscure, but most researchers believe that Christmas originated as a Christian substitute for pagan celebrations of the winter solstice.
To early Christians (and to many Christians today), the most important holiday on the Christian calendar was Easter, which commemorates the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
However, as Christianity began to take hold in the Roman world, in the early fourth century, church leaders had to contend with a popular Roman pagan holiday commemorating the “birthday of the unconquered sun” (natalis solis invicti)–the Roman name for the winter solstice.
Every winter, Romans honored the pagan god Saturn, the god of agriculture, with a festival that began on December 17 and usually ended on or around December 25 with a winter-solstice celebration in honor of the beginning of the new solar cycle.
This festival was a time of merrymaking, and families and friends would exchange gifts.
At the same time, Mithraism–worship of the ancient Persian god of light–was popular in the Roman army, and the cult held some of its most important rituals on the winter solstice.
After the Roman Emperor Constantine I converted to Christianity in 312 and sanctioned Christianity, church leaders made efforts to appropriate the winter-solstice holidays and thereby achieve a more seamless conversion to Christianity for the emperor’s subjects.
In rationalizing the celebration of Jesus’ birthday in late December, church leaders may have argued that since the world was allegedly created on the spring equinox (late March), so too would Jesus have been conceived by God on that date.
The Virgin Mary, pregnant with the son of God, would hence have given birth to Jesus nine months later on the winter solstice.
From Rome, the Christ’s Nativity celebration spread to other Christian churches to the west and east, and soon most Christians were celebrating Christ’s birth on December 25.
To the Roman celebration was later added other winter-solstice rituals observed by various pagan groups, such as the lighting of the Yule log and decorations with evergreens by Germanic tribes.
The word Christmas entered the English language originally as Christes maesse, meaning “Christ’s mass” or “festival of Christ” in Old English.
A popular medieval feast was that of St. Nicholas of Myra, a saint said to visit children with gifts and admonitions just before Christmas,, This story evolved into the modern practice of leaving gifts for children said to be brought by “Santa Claus,” a derivative of the Dutch name for St. Nicholas–Sinterklaas.

I'm so glad Christ mass day is over according to the pagan Roman holiday..
