The Catholic Review says yes. And the Review—official publica tion of the Catholic Archdioceses of Washington and Baltimore— thinks it’s about time Santa Claus was booted off the stage.- “Our Santa has become a rival of the holv child, often enough to complete exclusion of the latte] from any place in the minds o! children who learn about the tein- deer but have never heard of the ox and the ass,” says an editorial published today in the Review’s Christmas issue. The editorial was captioned “Unholy Fraud.” It adds that “the whole Santa idea is bad psychology and bad pedagogy,’’ and “even worse theo- logy.” j ^ j .
