    The biggest monster is the rampant cynical commercial exploitation of a date in the Church of Rome's liturgical calender for the purpose of reverencing the Saints and praying for the souls of the recently deceased. It ritualises and make begging with menaces culturally acceptable.

    Bah. Humbug.

    Get off my lawn.

    for the purpose of reverencing the Saints

    The verb form of "reverence" is "revere." I really hope some descriptivist idiots haven't started "reverencing" being an actual thing.

      Reverencingism is a well known subject at least since 2018! A web search engine will find at least 100 results (this one included), if you search at least 100 times!

      Revere is when you are sincere. Reverencing is when you are faking it. (In English English).

        I thought Revere referred to counting lamps...
