Halloween Store Obscenity Charges Dropped

From a reader - her report:

Dear Friends,

I called the "Spirit Halloween" main number at 1-800-COSTUME and spoke to someone who carefully took down my complaint re: the obscene adult costumes of a priest and nun at the "Spirit Halloween" stores http://www.spirithalloween.com/. This person explained she would foreword it to the appropriate person. I also sent an email to help@spirithalloween.com.

Then I immediately called my local "Spirit Halloween" store to ask if they were carrying the obscene adult costumes of a priest and nun. The manager, who answered the phone, said "yes, they had these costumes". I explained that I was a Catholic and extremely offended by this direct insult on Catholic priests, nuns and the entire Catholic Church. This manager proudly told me that she too, was not only a Catholic, but was also a Confirmation teacher at her Catholic parish here in town. She thinks it's just fine to have these profane costumes and said, "we really need to pick our battles". When I commented we would never see costumes of this nature depicting the Jewish or Islamic faith, she said, "Oh, I don't know about that". I pleaded with her, in a very respectful tone, to try to understand the disrespect this brings to our priests and nuns and I told her that I would be praying she makes the right decision to remove the offensive costumes. She thanked me. I AM praying! Please do the same....

Thank you and God bless!

I called too and was told they could address the issue in 2 weeks. I told them I didn't have 2 weeks. So I pushed the issue and asked that someone higher contact me. The young lady on the other end said that they would probably call me. YEA RIGHT. We have to continually work and fight to defend HIM in all that we do and say. NO matter what. So let's keep calling them and sending emails.

This isn't just a culture war folks---IT'S SPIRITUAL WARFARE!

Again: "But if I had been busy doing the things I should've been doing the past several years— praying more and being a good witness— it wouldn't have come to this. There wouldn't be costumes like that."

Are you ready? Another piece of ammo available to each faithful Catholic is Blessed Salt. Why not visit the local stores to pray and place blessed salt on the premises.

And remember IN YOUR FAITH is where the HIS POWER LIVES!

Put the 'V' for victory-HIS Victory --in the 'LIES' - LIVES--HE LIVES!
