The Director of Social Communications, Catholic Archdiocese of Lagos, Monsignor Gabriel Osu, reacting to Pastor Kumuyi’s proclamation about the celebration of Christmas, said:  “I don’t know what he means by saying the practice of celebrating Christmas is wrong. “Is he saying that Christ wasn’t born?
