I haven't seen any Catholic books at Wal-Mart. I don't really like it anyway.

Interesting. Wonder what Sam Walton would think...

[Proud2BCatholic139]

Well, the wal-mart I went didn't have any. BOOO!!!!

[Guest Not Chris Zewe]

I just read the link, and...wow. Crybabies.

[prose]

Normally, I think boycotts are useless and a waste of time.

This time I felt differently!

Way to go! I am glad that SOMEONE at Wal Mart came to their senses.... stuff is so cheap there.

[Lil Red]

Walmart is icky - no one should shop there anyway

[avemaria40]

Wal Mart has been accused of shady stuff any way. I'm glad I don't do my shopping there:)

That was uncharitable and stereotypical.

Hmmm.... now if stores would only stop labeling Christian music as New Age or easy listening, I'b be happy....

[Totus Tuus]

Bill Donohue is amaaaaazing man.

Well, we just shopped there this morning and I didn't know about the boycott until just now....

New Age and Christianity are completely different.

The comment which sparked this controversy:

“Walmart is a world wide organization and must remain conscious of this. The majority of the world still has different practices other than ‘christmas’ which is an ancient tradition that has its roots in Siberian shamanism. The colors associated with ‘christmas’ red and white are actually a representation of of the aminita mascera mushroom. Santa is also borrowed from the Caucuses, mistletoe from the Celts, yule log from the Goths, the time from the Visigoth and the tree from the worship of Baal. It is a wide wide world.”

My commentary:

If all of this is true, then wouldn't saying "Merry Christmas" fulfill the necessity of Walmart to "remain conscious" of their world wide organization?

You're failing to realize that Siberian shamans don't shop at Wal-Mart, and that for them, it wasn't called Christmas.
