A satirical retelling of the day St. Nicholas lost patience at the Council of Nicaea and delivered the most legendary theological slap in church history. Humor, history, and a reminder that even saints hit their limit.
I was unaware of this event. Blessed be the Holy Slap. I don't advocate violence but do advocate speaking out. I think today we allow the crazed and the fanatics to ramble to long. They take silence for agreement. Then we are on a fork of the road that definitely does not lead to sugar cookies. Great post.
I hadn't seen this yet when I commented earlier! this is Divinely brilliant and timely.
Happy St. Nicholas Day!

Benjamin Britten’s oratorio •Saint Nicolas• gets all of this right, & even references the Slap of Arius…
