Hold on, did you read the document that you gave me looking for the truth, or attempting to justify a belief? Because what you gave me doesn't prove that Jesus was born on Dec 25th. The writer does smack the Eastern Orthodox in the chops over their differences on the dates of Easter.
True study does not mean reading a Catholic professor's article and walk away a believer. I guess he can also show you infant baptism.
