And Catholics wonder why people make fun of them.

[Salvation]

You can’t read our minds, nor can you read the mind of God.

So, why do you judge?

This is also the policy of our Catholic school. Children should come as saints or other positive figures . . This allows for some of the girls to come as modern Magdalenes before her reform)and I know of a child who went as Saint Stephen. Really the possibilities for gruesome martyrdom and gore are endless.

You got your tradition of dressing up on Halloween ("All Hallows Eve'n" = the night before All Saints day) from us stupid Catholics in the first place, or didn't you know that?

People would dress up as saints. Those who dressed up as martyrs incorporated some elements of the instruments of the martyrs' death (which is a traditional element in the iconography of martyrs), which is how gory costumes got started.

And now you think we're strange for not embracing your corruption of our traditions???

We had Halloween parties at our Catholic School.
