Why Catholics Should Not Participate in Kwanzaa: The Daniel Standard

“But if it seem evil to you to serve the Lord, you have your choice: choose this day that which pleaseth you, whom you would rather serve, whether the gods which your fathers served in Mesopotamia, or the gods of the Amorrhites, in whose land you dwell: but as for me and my house we will serve the Lord.”-Book Of Josue (Joshua) 24:15
Our Why I am Pulling My Daughter From Public School “Winter Concert” Kwanzaa for the most part elicited the expected responses from proponents of Political Correctness, Multiculturalism, Marxism, Black Liberation Theology, Moral and Ethical Relativism.
The responses that gave us pause and the impetus to follow up with this post came from the heretical 1960-70’s liberal apostasy movement adherents still present within the Catholic Church today.
To begin our readers must fully grasp the fact that Kwanzaa is not a religion nor is it a cultural movement, although it does camouflage itself as so when it is to its benefit to do so. Kwanzaa is a political movement, Black Liberation Theology Marxism to be exact. A tool used in the public arena, government (public) schools to indoctrinate our children in the battle for their minds and for us Catholics…their Souls.
The goals of the Radical Marxists of Kwanzaa are to remove Christ and Christianity from society to be replaced with the Worship of Self and Man with Government as god. In cases where this is not attainable they seek to subordinate Jesus, Christmas and Christianity through Diversity and Social Justice programs.
To appear seemingly harmless, Kwanzaa deploys many politically correct multiculturalist euphemisms to mask its true intentions. Kwanzaa, created in 1966 by Dr. Maulana Karenga, professor of Africana Studies at California State University, Long Beach, author and scholar-activist is a Marxist, Black Liberation Theology Socio-Political event with a forty-five (45) year history.
What are we as Catholics to do?
Daniel offers us an excellent Faith Action Model in as much as while in captivity he received an education (government school) learning the attributes of his enemies yet remaining faithful to God. Daniel drew the line at participating in official, sanctioned and mandated events, ceremonies, celebrations and practices because it would have been idolatry, worshipping false, government-sanctioned gods.
For Catholics that find themselves in government (public) schools Kwanzaa as well as other anti-Christian curriculums will be taught.
It is the moral and ethical duty of Catholic parents to teach their children before they are exposed to and indoctrinated by proponents of Political Correctness, Multiculturalism, Marxism, Black Liberation Theology, Moral and Ethical Relativism, their Catholic Faith.
Secondly, it is the duty of Catholic parents not to allow their children to participate in events such as ‘Winter Concerts’ that are not direct celebrations of the Birth of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ (Christmas) and/or The Festival of Lights (Hanukah) or includes any promotion/celebration of Kwanzaa in any manner. Recall Daniel would not eat the meat sacrificed to the idols, to allow Catholic children to participate in such events as the ‘Winter Concerts’ takes away from Christ and Christmas at which point our children are engaged in worshiping idols, false gods, through readings/song/dance/costumes, the god of the Radical Marxists of Kwanza: Self and Man with Government as god.

You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and he stood not in the truth; because truth is not in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father thereof. [John 8:44] [Latin] [45] But if I say the truth, you believe me not.
Lest perhaps there should be among you a man or a woman, a family or a tribe, whose heart is turned away this day from the Lord our God, to go and serve the gods of those nations: and there should be among you a root bringing forth gall and bitterness.

A sentence in your last paragraph is a little unclear. Are you saying that we may. or may not, participate in celebrations that reference Hanukkah? Since the basis of Hanukkah is right there in Maccabees, which is part of the Catholic Bible (but not in Protestant nor, ironically, Jewish Bibles), I would think Hanukkah would be OK. Do you agree or disagree?

Dear Heartlander: Thank you for your recent comment. From last paragraph “Secondly, it is the duty of Catholic parents not to allow their children to participate in events such as ‘Winter Concerts’ that are not direct celebrations of the Birth of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ (Christmas) and/or The Festival of Lights (Hanukah) or includes any promotion/celebration of Kwanzaa in any manner.”
It is clearly stated the association of Christmas and Hanukah as it states: “that are not direct celebrations of the Birth of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ (Christmas) and/or The Festival of Lights (Hanukah)”
What the paragraph does state about what we are not to participate in (Daniel Chapter One): “or includes any promotion/celebration of Kwanzaa in any manner.”
Remember Jesus was a Jew of which there is no Catholic Church, Christianity. It is also very clear that the Jew is very much a part of God’s Salvation plan.
We hope this clears up the matter and that along with Christmas you may find time to share time with our Jewish Brothers/Sisters in celebration.
