Since you are always trying to link the Catholic Church to any bizarre coincidence of time or geography I thought it would be interesting to explore the not so coincidental fact that Reformation Day and Halloween, the high holy day of pagans and the occult, are both on the same day................ Care to opine?

Happy to provide you with a history lesson...

Martin Luther posted the Ninety-five Theses on the door of the church at Wittenberg on October 31, 1517, because the next day, November 1, was a holy day, All Saints Day, when all the church hierarchy would be assembled.

Back then the church door was like a community bulletin board. Luther knew his written objections to Romanist sacrilege would be discussed the next day.

And so it was.

Here are Luther's Ninety-five Theses for your edification...

NINETY-FIVE THESES

The eve before all All Saints Day is the Night of the Dead which turned into Halloween. Roman Catholics developed this holiday since they generally feast before they fast, i.e. Mardi Gras.
