On Tuesday, a United Church of Christ reverend received backlash after suggesting that Christmas is ultimately about a message of feminist empowerment over the traditional Christian celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ, the Son of God and Savior of the world.
“Christmas season is about God choosing a woman to lead a revolution of re-organizing the structures of societal power by her leadership, tenderness, and faith,” Rev. Jes Kast claimed on Twitter.
According to The Blaze, Kast’s post sparked a barrage of criticism as commentators believed that she was undermining the sovereignty of God by focusing more on Mary instead of Jesus Christ.
"Not about her son, then?" one commenter asked.
“Read Luke 1. It begins with the 'yes' from Mary. Without her, there would be no savior,” Katz argued in response. “It begins with Mary and the Holy Spirit."
“Apparently gender-identity politics > Scripture,” another user quipped.

This woman has no business pastoring a church. Just my opinion.
