Kudos to RCC for turning Poland into a laughingstock... again.

(worth pointing out actually - there's a good chance that Halloween went to the US from Scotland - so I feel quite within my rights to celebrate it ;)

Definitely a Gaelic tradition.

Do the Irish still celebrate it?

Yes. Its the third biggest event of the year.

Young kids dress up and go trick or treating. Similar to America.

The older kids light up huge bonfires in urban areas, get smashed drunk and effectively declare war on council workers, fireman and the gardai.

But the food is cool. Barmbrack, colcannon, toasted pumpkin seeds and turkey. So good.

Few bottles of pumpkinhead, sleeping tablets for my dogs and a load of horror movies on netflix. Whats not to love?

the mere idea of screaming brats banging on my door

I thought that this would be one tradition that the priests would fully support.

It's all to take the attention from their own rotten mess.
Yet again priests tell people what they CANNOT do. That's all they do. So what can we actually do?
Soon, they will tell us that we cannot wipe our asses because it's touching our privates parts.
Let people live their lives.

It seems I am not alone in my distaste for this American hodiday after all:

Halloween is an American custom, regardless of ancient origin. True Poles should be ashamed at celebrating it.
It's another one of their faux consumer holidays. Empty skulls for the win.

Staying Catholic doesn't mean avoiding canabalistic practices... Every Catholic around the world daily goes through the prescribed motions of the Sacrifice of the Mass and between images recites: "This is my body, this is my blood". Even the children learn and recite these words... and are bound by the images of the Crucifixion, whether real or imagined, on every toddler's entrance to school... So, it's a bit laughable that the Vatican is warning people about the dangers of ritual....

How your three pronged hat is doing? Shouldn't you sew on a wee bells on the end of each prong to warn us of your presence. . ?

Probably something to do with transubstantiation, eating the body and drinking the blood of Jebus

Isn't it illegal to teach children cannibalism in Poland? I don't know if they are actually teaching Catholic children to eat the bodies of others. I think they just have to think about how eating someone else's body brings them closer to God. I'm not sure about this though.
