No, I stated my intentions in my first post:
Since Apostolics around the world are participating in the cultural tradition of what is known as St. Valentine's Day, I thought it might be of some value to shed a little light on the history of this festival.
Like it or not, I'm right. Many Apostolics are buying their wives and sweethearts Valentine's Day cards, chocolates, gifts, etc. today. Why not look at a little history regarding why this is a part of our culture? And why not accentuate the "Christian" elements of it instead of being so cynical and allowing the wholesale secularization of our society?
Think about it... if we REFUSE to even mention the Christian elements of our society's cultural history... how can we complain that everything is so secular???
