Sounds like many of these readers need to get a life & stop getting offended or mad about every little thing. There are a lot of miserable people out there, and many bring it on themselves. Frankly, it's refreshing that you don't discuss politics. The majority of your readers appreciate this. Merry Christmas isn't offensive. We need to remember the true meaning and having advent candles is a great way to celebrate the beginning of such a special season. Merry Christmas!!!!

I enjoy your articles, and I also enjoy your Q and A sessions with the public. Sometimes a humorous response is what the rest of us need. If they are going to throw slow pitches over the plate, they need to expect them to be hit over the fence.

Sean, your responses are amazing! You have to feel sorry for people who can only criticize people or that think they have all the answers. One more time: If you don’t like Sean, no one is making you read him! Thank goodness he is not debating religion or politics! We have more than enough of that! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

MERRY CHRISTMAS to all the Dietrich family two legged and four legged. My question is how do you read a video ?? The Holy sacraments of our Lord should be available to ALL believers. And on that note I am going to drink another BEER .

"Ministry"? --Yep, is that.

I send Sean of the South to my very religious friends. I'm a believer, and Sean delivers us real life examples of what the dogma is supposed to engender and delivery.

Sean delivers it in a close-up, humanistic, and every-day manner.

Merry Christmas Sean….and remember God wants us to be happy so he created beer (and the occasional shot of Kentuckys finest).
