"Haro on the Christmas tradition!"

FIGAROVOX / TRIBUNE - Many political figures wish to remove any reference to the Christian origin of Christmas so as not to offend everyone's religious sensibilities. Christian Flavigny denounces a new drift of progressivism and defends the importance of the magic of ...


Christian Flavigny is a child psychiatrist, psychoanalyst, member of the Work-Family group of the Thomas More Institute.

He wrote

The Confiscated Debate: PMA, GPA, bioethics, "gender", #metoo

(ed. Salvator, 2019).

Mrs Helena Dalli, European Commissioner for Equality, calls for all mention of Christmas to be deleted so that no religious tradition on European territory is privileged;

advocating no longer giving the first names of Mary or John, it targets emblematic figures of Catholicism.

Does the Catholic tradition really embarrass other religious traditions?

At Christmas Catholics celebrate the birth of a child who has a father and a mother.

Christian Flavigny

No, no other; if not the “progressive” religion that the Christmas celebration insupports. Indeed, at Christmas Catholics celebrate the birth of a child who has a father and a mother. The Holy Family, which Catholic doctrine sanctifies, represents childbirth at the crossroads of two complementary principles: the maternal principle illustrated by Mary that the Catholic tradition invokes in her prayers and publicizes in the proper sense and the paternal principle in its facets at the both earthly and spiritual: Joseph who one would say adoptive father since he is not the progenitor, and God in the infinite power of the spiritual Father. All this figures according to the progressive vulgate the “heterosexual family”, an exhibition which it considers quasi-obscene (in the first sense of the term) of childbirth in theunion of the maternal and the paternal: representation of all that this dogma loathes since technical “progress” dislodged the male-female union from being the obligatory condition for the coming of the child.

Other religious traditions do not place the representation of the Family at the very heart of their faith, which means they are less targeted.

Apart from the Orthodox, close to the Catholic figuration, Protestantism does not deify Mary, Judaism and Islam center their dogma on allegiance to the divine Law.

However, the feast of Christmas does not embarrass their faithful, whether they live it in indifference or in a secularized approach which makes Christmas the feast of the Family par excellence;

this also applies to non-believing families.

The “progressive” vision tries to impose its “diverse” vision by attacking Catholics.

Christian Flavigny

This is because Catholic figuration illustrates, in Christian soil and also throughout the world, an anthropological universal. The family is the birth of the child from the union of his father and mother. The “progressive” vision tries to impose its “diverse” vision by attacking Catholics; it is all the more aberrant as they do not in any way call for some “traditionalist” return to family life. What they refuse, but they are not the only ones, is the rigging done to the child on what brought his coming into the world when it does not emanate from the union of a father and d 'a mother, a faking yet again confirmed recently by the mention made possible of "two fathers" or "two mothers" on her marital status, strictly speaking inconceivable forhe can found his raison d'être there.

Progressive dogma has reason to see in Catholic doctrine what directly contradicts it;

Didn't this establish paternity as an intangible symbolic principle building a base for the development of the child, taken from the godfather, eponymous of the child who founds a spiritual kinship with him (the godmother for the girl), then a fortiori the priest called "father", finally the Patron Saint (Patron Saint for the girl), celestial eponym given as an example to the child, the last mediator before the link with God, Eternal Father?

There is no more clearly expressed opposition to the disqualification of the paternal function decreed by recent laws.

Progressives may love children, we wish them, but on condition that children do not live in childhood.

Christian Flavigny

But the root of the resentment against Catholicism lies in the fact that Christmas is the feast of the Child; progressives may love children, we wish them, but on condition that children do not live in childhood. They want to banish the marvelous from the eyes of children: according to them Father Christmas would be a legend that it would be untrue to tell children, as if children could not discover for themselves, in a maturing moment, that "the Father Christmas is the parents ”; they do not like the Christmas tree which maintains a fairyland whose children understand well that it is intended for them, on this day which celebrates them; and finally drive out those Christmas cribs, which secular fundamentalism cannot stand. Progressivism only knows the child "little adult endowed with rights",who would have authority over himself to decide to change sex and first name, in short to self-engender, therefore deprived of growing up since the support of his parents, for the reason that they could have made a mistake in the designation of his sex, while this is only a bodily observation.

Christmas speaks to all families, whether they have a religious faith or not.

Christian Flavigny

Christmas speaks to all families, whether they have a religious faith or not.

The family joy of Christmas is the happiness of the presence of the child;

it is enough to see the lonely sadness of the people who do not have or no longer have a family with whom to live Christmas Eve.

To celebrate Christmas is to love children.
