A Christmas Carol seeks to rob Christmas of all its Catholicism and replace it with a man made holiday oriented around us.

Actually, true.  Protestants typically didn't celebrate Christmas as it such a Catholic holiday and it is impossible to deny the importance of the Virgin Mary in Christmas (Most Protestants are united in their disrespect of Our Lady).  However, during the 19th century Christmas began to become greater celebrated among Protestants.  Dickens sought to present Christmas as a respectable middle-class Protestant holiday.  Thus, you don't have mention of Catholic traditions nor mention of Church, nor any mention of the Virgin nor, if I remember correctly, even mention of Christ himself.  The Christmas presented in A Christmas Carol is one focused on "each other" rather than the Incarnation.  If you want to complain about the secularization of Christmas  A Christmas Carol  is not bad place to start. 

There. Now we don't have to watch a million adaptions of it each year anymore!

Bah Humbug!

There are a multiple references to Christ in the Christmas Carol.
I know it was written by a Prot, but it is extremely well written,a good lesson in the Corporal Works of Mercy and does not cause man to sin by reading it or watching the films, especially the 1951 one with the great Alistair Sim.
The story also makes an allusion to Purgatory, with the Jacob Marley bit.
Pretty good for a Prot story.

Jacob Marley is not in purgatory. He states he will wear his chains for eternity.  That's why he so adament about getting Scrooge to change his ways.

Correct.
I was thrown by the wandering about the earth and helping people/ghost bit.

Great quote aimed at Marley by Scrooge:

You may be an undigested bit of beef, a blot of mustard, a crumb of cheese, a fragment of underdone potato. There's more of gravy than of grave about you, whatever you are!"
