about this site
Catholic Sensibility is a personal blog by a Catholic layperson with comments and occasional other writings by Catholics and non-Catholics. We make no particular claims to have the completeness of a Roman Catholic expression of Christianity. It contains opinion, interpretation, and personal musings. That’s it. Nothing official or authoritatively connected to the Magisterium.

War on Halloween?
And some parents were bothered:
Possibly because Halloween is one of those non-Christian/pagan-influenced observances that most Americans view as part of the cultural backdrop of Americana, but a minority (mostly evangelical Protestants) find bothersome to some degree.
Final decision? “(A) Fall Festival, with Halloween costumes and activities” on Friday night next weekend, plus classroom parties are okay.
I suppose the pagans can breathe easier now that their insidious movement to capture the souls of children has been spared. And corporate candy manufacturers can continue to peddle the taste for sugar. Seems like everybody can rest easier this October–even the ghosts of America past.
