FOR A CATHOLIC ELEMENTARY SCHOOL TO HAVE A PARADE FLOAT LIKE THIS IS BEYOND COMPREHENSION BUT A SYMPTOM OF OUR CATHOLIC SCHOOLS BECOMING SECULAR AND WORLDLY AND, IN THIS CASE, DEMONIC!

I’m left scratching my head on this one. But not entirely. Recently I saw a simple procession in the hallway of a Catholic clementary school, where young children were encouraged to wear their Halloween customers and parade down the hallway with these. 

Some wore saintly costumes but others were in monster, demonic and other customers depicting the horrors of the underworld. 

Does a Catholic school need to throw in the towel as it concerns the secular celebration of Halloween when our tradition is about the Saints and the sufferings they endured. Halloween is our Catholic Tradition, celebrating the eve of All Saints! Why do something different????

But with that said, read this NcR article and weep. While this is extreme, it is symptomatic of what’s happening to particular Catholic schools in the sense of a loss of Catholic identity!
