Halloween is more Catholic than Pagan.
Although this video bears a grain of truth regarding the Celtic influence on this holiday, please read this more informative, well-constructed, clearly informative and a bit more accurate article by Father Augustine Thompson, O.P. called "Halloween: The Real Story!" at Crossroads Initiative.
This is also excellent apologetic material.

@Jacksonholenativ I would realy hope you explore history very carefully, as most murders, wars, etc. are started for the exact opposite reason stated. What I stated is True, not BS. as you could only be truly Catholic, if you live life following Jesus. that is the up most importance and has been our teaching since His Life! simply because someone claims they act in the name of the Lord, does not make it so.

@raymoohackuray I only reasearch and cite relative books, magazines, and many more ALLOWED works for citation. otherwise it is a waste of effort, pointless journey, and a bad grade.

That's such crap nessunopassato. The Catholic Church is guilty of immense sins during the Crusades and the Inquisition. Some Popes have been amazing and wonderful and others have been horrific bloody tyrants. The Catholic religion has a mix of both the beautiful and the ugly. It's authoritarian force was forced upon millions of people throughout Europe. Why do you think that people were burned at the stake? The Catholic Church was behind that.

@raymoohackuray what are you talking about? you never once told me to visit wiki anything. furthermore again I say it again. I will not take information from just anyone. wiki pages are influence be random anybodies that may not even have the right information. a problem that has cursed wikipedia since it's start. furthermore many of their citations goes to the wrong source. Im not interested in more websites or any book by some guy who doesn't even know.thats why teachers ban wiki for papers

@raymoohackuray and where am I going to research smart guy? some book or website writen by some random nobody, whose sole purpose is to corrupt the idea of what I see as peace and holy? WRONG. If I am to research anything than I am to look towards the people who infact started that holiday, event, cultural significance(exp:If I am to study roman empire, than I research papers during that time,from those involved.NOT someone with a chip over their shoulder

@bdeaner NO CHRISTIAN HOLIDAY HAS PEGAN ROOTS. to say the such means it started with pegan beliefs and developed from it. however NONE of our rituals/holidays allow anything pegan involved as to do so is contrary to our beliefs and would be against GOD as most pegan rituals/events are similar to that of satanism.

@bdeaner well first off, theres no such thing as Irish Catholicism. that would declare a difference between the rituals/teachings of the Church established within Ireland and that established by the Vatican=established by Jesus/Apostles. There is not such a difference. Since there is not a present difference nor was there in the past. than there are no pegan roots/rituals/etc. having any of the such would be contrary to our beliefs.

@Jacksonholenativ relook at history, we didnt force anyone to doing anything. they converted, and in order to be Catholic, you must ACT Catholic, which includes giving up the rituals and believes that would otherwise go against God and make every effort useless. Blessed be Saint Patrick
Leave it to the Catholic Church to twist the truth and lie about the Celts. Samhain (now Halloween) the day when the veil between this world & the spirit world was celebrated as the thinnest, was forceably changed by the Catholic Church throughout the middle ages and the day was replaced with All Hallows Eve which preceded All Saints Day, a holiday that the Catholics imposed on the Celtic people. The Catholic Church loves to play a negative light on something that they just could not control.

You nailed it, CathPresbyter. This video is WAY TOO Protestant for my taste. It has Puritan, anti-Catholic sentiments that I reject on deeply Catholic grounds. Bah!
