Caped wonders with super powers have been created throughout history during times when people were in dire need of "heroes". They could fly or do a Houdini from the arch-rival's snare. But, these heroes stay on the comic book (or the silver screen). Hence, we in the real world face challenges ourselves--sans super powers. Whether it's families breaking apart or declining literacy in the country, it is we who answer the call from where we are, with what we have.
I'm glad to see that religious imagery and ideas are still alive and well, at least here in the Philippines. In other secularist countries, employers sometimes prohibit their employees from greeting their customers with "merry Christmas!", and must instead use some politically correct greeting devoid of religious content. Government workers also suffer similar restrictions. That, of course, is a form of suppression of religion.
I would encourage everyone to resist such forms of political correctness. If you are Catholic, be proud of it and do not apologize for your faith. Don't allow your Catholic heritage to be trampled upon or swept under the rug.
As a practical matter, I would also encourage everyone to make use of greeting cards with religious content, not only on Christmas, but for all occasions where this is applicable, including weddings, St. Valentine's day, birthdays, and even Independence day. If you purchase these cards from a credible pro-life or orthodox religious charity, you will also be helping others do charitable work.
