Later stories say that heretic was Arius himself - but that is likely not true. There used to be a video parody of this imagined event, the video is offline, but here are the lyrics:<br />(to the tune of "I Saw Momma Kissing Santa Claus.")<br />I saw Santa punching Arius<br />in the council chambers at Nicaea.<br /><br />He just couldn’t stand<br />to hear the heretic expand<br />his theory how Our Blessed Lord<br />was not much more than just a man.<br /><br />Then I saw Santa grabbing Arius<br />by the beard to pull him off his chair.<br />The other bishops were justified,<br />in assuming this was undignified<br />throwing Santa in a cell for the night.<br /><br />I saw Jesus and His Mother<br />come to Santa praying in his chains.<br /><br />Christ asked, “Why are you here?”<br />“All for my love of You.”<br />Off fell the chains and to him was given<br />the pallium and the Gospels.<br /><br />St. Nick went back up to the chamber<br />amazing everyone at the sight.<br />They said, “It must have been righteous anger!”<br />“It is Arius we must excommunicate.”<br />“The Son is consubstantial with the Father.”<br />(Written and performed by Russell Jonas Grigaitis, O.F.S.)CathApolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11555309542380876999noreply@blogger.com
