My mother told me that the nuns in her Catholic school (back in the 30's and early 40's) forbid them to ever play April fools jokes because it was an insult to Our Lord. It would be in imitation of those who blindfolded Our Lord, struck him and spit on him, asking him to tell who did it.
Now don't get me wrong, this is not nor ever was official Catholic teaching to my knowledge, but interesting no?

Very interesting. I haven't heard of it before.
I know some people are cruel on FR, and they would see this as an oppurtune time to get in a few heartless jibes.
Everywhere the Pope went, he was swarmed by loving crowds. That was good to see that he is loved by so many.
