[quote:October:MV8xNjg0NTlfMTk4MDMxMF83OEY1MTZGMQ==] Being October and all...I thought I´d throw my 2 sense in. Hallow´en is a pagan celebration. (this does not necessarily mean Wiccan). Occult means hidden or unknown...and has nothing to do with so-called Satanism...which is basically saying the opposite of whatever Chriustianity says. In other words...you don´t have Satanism UNLESS you have Christianity. Pagans respect and care for our Home...our Planet...our UniverSe. As do the native and aboriginal peoples around the globe. Hallowe´en is the New Year...after the harvest and the outside work is completed. It is an acknowledgement of a time when the Veil between the Worlds is at its thinnest; when the connection between the invisible and the visible worlds is at it´s strongest and closest. That´s where the idea of ghosts and scary things originated. People are AFRAID of the unknown, the hidden, the occult! Of death altogether! Stop being afraid!!! :wall: The UniverSe is full of LOVE! :smile_kiss: [/quote]
Original Message
VALLETTA, Malta (di-ve news) -- The Diocesan Commission on Occult and Satanism has expressed its opinion on Halloween. Various parents and youth centres had asked if Halloween was compatible or not with people of Christian faith.
The Commission, while recognising the fact that many people celebrate this feast in a neutral way, and see it as an opportunity for having some fun pointed out that Halloween is a feast of pagan origin.
Halloween is also linked with many superstitions and traditions that are more connected with the spiritual and occult world which contrast with the Christian ways. For this reason, the Commission believes that whoever wishes to take seriously his Christian faith should not celebrate Halloween.
Even though the celebrations may be superficial, and without any ulterior motives, celebrations could lead to the introduction of a neo-pagan and occult culture which is very common these days.
The Commission said that on 1st November, it would be more appropriate if Christians celebrate the feast of all saints, which Pope Benedict XVI together with all the youths gathered in Cologne called "the true revolutionaries of our societies." The following day, we commemorate our dead and pray for them.
