    The Title of this news is "Cardinal Oswald's X'mas Message". Could some religious person advise whether saying X'mas instead of Christmas is correct? We receive greetings even from Priests and Nuns with words as X'mas instead of Christmas. When I was in my early 20s, I was attending Christmas Mass at Dadar Portuguese Church and a young priest gave a beautiful sermon. What struck me greatly was his message where he said, why do we call Jesus Christ Mr. X? I wish everyone realizes this mistake and stop calling our Lord as Mr. X, instead use the word Christmas alone.
