But I want to talk about tomorrow — the feast of St. Nicholas of Myra. But in recent years, it seems to me that story is often overshadowed by another — the tale of St. Nicholas’ punch. “At one point, jolly ol’ St. Nicholas got so angry at Arius’ obstinacy that he socked him right in the face,” Michelle La Rosa recounted last year. A contemporary rendering of St. Nicholas of Myra, enjoying a refreshing beverage, presumably after slapping Arius in the face. If you want to know what’s happening with Cardinal Burke, read it here at The Pillar.
