This is the day the 'veil is the thinnest' and the day when the devil-worshippers
love to do their dirtiest work.

It's also Reformation Day for the Lutherans.

Right, Halloween is a very pagan, secular holiday.

Just to think how messed up the world has become in the past 495 years!

I supposed Halloween could also be thought of as the day for contemplating (not celebrating) the dogma of Hell, which many deny. It's too bad Pius XII suppressed the Vigil Mass for the day because it would have been nice to have something to especially counter the ghoulish activity wrought during the time.

Pius XII suppressed the Vigil of the Feast of All Saints? Do you know
what year that happened?

I recall that my mother wanted to be a good Catholic, but she also
wanted to share with her children some of the fun she had as a child,
in her experience, and that included Halloween. I have to give her
credit for trying to keep it 'innocent,' but I think she should have
seen the writing on the wall, as they say. It is curious how the
occult has a way of creeping into your life when you just want to
have a 'good time' and some 'fun' with your friends. So she let us go
out "trick-or-treating," then she gently but firmly required us to keep
it all untouched until the next day, because the vigil of a holy day is
a day of penance and self-denial, or even fasting and abstinence (if
you carry it to the logical extreme), so eating candy doesn't really fit
in with that. But keeping the candy for the Feast Day that follows
made sense to her.

Looking back, it could have just been a matter of economics, for she
was poor as a child, and it seems her mother may have done this, let
the kids get free candy and then they could have their fun and it
wouldn't 'cost' anything.

Well, although it was a druidic celebration, the Church Christianised it. It is Hallow (Holy, i.e. Saints') e'en (even = eve). But as the society becomes more pagan, the eve of the great feast of All Saints becomes more wicked. In Australia, it was only ever a strange word and alien to us, but since we've had imported entertainment which advertised it, it's caught on over the years. The same for Italy. It didn't exist. It's real Americanism at its worst.
