Halloween is demonic -Vatican

"Many say Halloween is a simple carnival, but in fact there is nothing innocent or fun about it - it is the antechamber to something much more dangerous."

The Vatican has stated that Halloween is evil and should be replaced with Holyween so children can dress up as saints and pray on the eve of 31 October of every year. 

This is contained in a statement released after Vatican's first conference of exorcists. The Catholic exorcists warned of dangers of Halloween to children, due to increase in occult activity during this festival.
Stating that Halloween was responsible for huge rise in demonic possessions in October. As a result the Catholic Church has called for Halloween to be scrapped and replaced with 'Holyween' - a night in which children would attend prayer vigils and dress up as saints.

Father Aldo Buonaiuto, of the International Association of Exorcists, which met in Rome at the weekend, said that a spike in demonic possessions in October is down to the phenomenon of Halloween. He stated that the organisation's emergency number receives hundreds of calls over this period, around 40 a day, especially from parents who fear that their child has been initiated into the occult. Father Buonaiuto said that participating in Halloween is 'like an initiation into the occult'. "Many say Halloween is a simple carnival, but in fact there is nothing innocent or fun about it - it is the antechamber to something much more dangerous.

"There are always more evil rituals, animal sacrifices, desecrations of cemeteries and thefts of sacred bones at the time of the 31 October," he said.

"For the sects it is the best time of year to recruit new members. From here the door to the devil can be opened. For this reason its necessary for us to speak out and not play down the danger.

"To replace the 'dangerous' festival the Catholic Church in Italy have now launched the initiative 'Holyween'. " 

"While most people are seeped in zombies and horror we put on our door or windows a light or an image evocative of the saints."

"And then there will be masses, prayer vigils and worship to celebrate the saints and victory of good over evil."

The conference of 300 exorcists from all over the world took place last weekend after being officially recognised by the Vatican in June.
