VULGAR CATHOLIC HALLOWEEN COSTUMES

October 29, 2009

Catholic League president Bill Donohue comments on this season’s Halloween costumes:

There are costumes depicting Jesus, priests, nuns, ministers, rabbis and imams, and most of them are innocuous. But there are two costumes that are vulgar, and, as usual, they are designed to offend Catholics: a priest with an erection and a pregnant nun, often sold as a pair.

Some immigrant groups are upset about an illegal alien costume, but even those who are complaining don’t say it is vulgar. A mere depiction of Muhammad in a Danish cartoon that was anything but vulgar led to riots. Now imagine what would happen if we paired Muhammad sporting an erection with a Latina illegal alien? Not to worry, it’s only Catholic clergy and religious that the bigots want to bash.

Spirit Halloween, owned by Spencer Gifts, is carrying the objectionable costumes, as are the websites of Amazon, Halloween Costume World, Annie’s Costumes, Halloween Store and Halloween Express. We urge Catholics to patronize stores like Target, Walgreen’s, CVS and Wal-Mart: they don’t carry such offensive fare.

That would be kinda funny.

A guy in a Muhammed costume should pal around with a guy in a Roman Polanski costume.

I just saw another thread that said Octomom was dressed as a pregnant nun. Tasteless.

The first time I saw a pregnant nun costume was at my Catholic university in the 1980s. There was a Mass, after a school-sponsored beer kegger, which students attended in costume. I think the pregnant nun costumed person received communion. (There were worse costumes, but I don’t think the boys who went together as a box of tampons went to the mass). Before you look at what non-Catholics do, how about teaching some Catholics not to be so tasteless and self-mocking.

More appropriate:

Muhammad with a pregnant pre-adolescent.

Some folks just can’t wait to climb aboard the hell express!

A popular costume around here, is the “Ghost of Christmas Past.” I don’t fully understand if it is meant to be sarcastic criticism of Christianity, but would be interested in reactions ...

[Travis T. OJustice]

Muhammad with a pregnant pre-adolescent.

How would that be possible?

[Nosterrex]

All of these acts are truly satanic. There is nothing worse than mocking the sacred. It is an indirect attack against God Himself. On the other hand, the Roman Catholic Church has not helped herself by the pedophiles, feminist nuns, and alcoholic priests that are often the headlines in the MSM. The Roman Catholic Church needs to reform herself.

For the prophet,

all things are.

a Kennedy at a Communion rail is one that suddenly appeals to me...

[HighlyOpinionated]

It’s disgusting.

It’s offensive, not to a minority, but to people who are not Catholic.

It’s the demonic attempt to remove everything that’s sacred from our society.

The Disrespectful Liberals try to destroy everything “worthy of respect or dedication” and replace it with vulgarity. To the Liberals nothing save what they claim is theirs is secured against violation, infringement, etc., or properly immune from violence, interference, etc..

Liberals attack what they do not deign as ‘holy’ and they fight to your death should you display anything but worship to their agenda.

WAKE UP America.
