My husband said the same thing. Oddly though, when I went to catholic school back when dinosaurs still roamed the Earth, (Kidding!) we really didn't hear anything about it. The nuns and priest never actively tried discouraging us from trick-or-treating, so I'm wondering why the sudden change. If anything churches should be encouraging kids to have fun, especially since there are fewer and fewer people buying into the whole religious thing. But, if you're Catholic everything fun is a sin. Guess that means I'm going straight to hell.
