Javier Navascués criticizes the celebration of Halloween in Spain
First source report
Javier Navascués argues that the celebration of Halloween in Spain is a pagan and demonic influence that demonstrates a hatred for the saints of the Catholic Church. He describes the holiday as a modern sacred tradition that contrasts with Holy Week, noting that while Holy Week features venerated images of Christ and the Virgin Mary, Halloween brings out depictions of demons.
Navascués suggests that popular media series open doors to darkness for many young people. He advises that living wisely requires discerning between what is beneficial for the soul and what is harmful to eternal salvation.
