Explain this holiday to me now, please. You know the one. The one with snow and trees and overweight men in bad suits with worse facial hair. I'm new! I don't know these things!

If Popes automatically became Saints, then there would be two Borgia saints instead of only one. According to the Catholic Church, you reach Heaven based on your own efforts, not on your worldly station.

I suppose I'm Anglican myself. It's a tradition, although one observed mostly when we're sneaking into churches to steal Holy Water by the gallon in theory rather than in practice.
