Roman Catholic Blog has pictures from the Halloween Mass at the "Catholic-Christian community" of Corpus Christi in Aliso Viejo, in the Diocese of Orange, California. The pictures includes a devil in the choir(rock group) and a She-Devil as a extraordinary minister of Holy Communion. I guess someone dressed as a She-Devil giving out communion is extraordinary. Someone should have gone dressed as a kneeler, since in that diocese it would be pretty scary.
Catholic Church Conservation has pictures of a group of nuns (thankfully not at Mass) who appear to be willing to wear anything but a habit. Diogenes also comments on one of the pictures of a nun in solidarity with the murder of innocents – chickens that is.

What horrible pictures; it is a depressing event to see such photos.
When I remind myself not to judge a person, particularly a member of the Body of Christ, by outward appearances; or when I defend Halloween by saying “we make festive use of morbid imagery to remind ourselves that death isn’t something to fear”…um, this isn’t what I have in mind.
Whatever one thinks of nuns not wearing habits these pictures are of nuns celebrating Halloween. Are they not entitled to enjoy themselves? One can find similar pictures over at Moniales.
God Save Us Please! Let me remeind everyone what Christ told us;
“….At the Name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in Heaven, of things in earth, and things under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the Glory of God the Father….”
Phillipians 2: 10-11
I regularly enjoy myself by wearing PJs and a plush robe. However, I know better than to wear them to Mass.
The Halloween Mass pictures were scary. Is this some sort of a trend? It struck New England this year.
As to the costumed nuns, I’m only sorry I missed the party! And their functional clothing wasn’t particularly attractive, but it sure wasn’t scandalous. I miss seeing nuns in full habit, but who am I to criticize? Never having worn a habit, I am no authority on how restrictive they were.
Too bad they didn’t consider dressing up as nuns.
