St Christopher dropped as saint in Vatican reform
In Rome the Vatican removed St Christopher from the official saints list as part of a reform downgrading dozens of saints whose historic status is doubtful. The move shifts emphasis to Christ and the crucifixion while private devotion may remain. St Nicholas remains but Christmas couplets and traveler medallions face changing status.

A New York disruption of a Sunday service led by black activist James Forman drew mixed church reactions. Riverside Church Pastor Rev. Ernest T Campbell denied Forman’s demands and ended the service after the opening hymn. ABC official Rev. Edwin H. Tuller condemned disruption. Council of Churches head Rev. Dan B. Potter urged opposition to tactics, while Rev. Jon L. Regier warned reparations pose a serious issue. Bishop Horace Donegan criticized the church record on racism yet urged safety if needed. The piece notes a Catholic bishops’ program on religious communications. Context mentions Rev. Henry Mitchell, a Santa Monica pastor, being appointed to a new Martin Luther King post.
