I just read this apparent quote from Pope Francis on faithreel.com *(accessed October, 2014)*:
> Most churches agree with what Pope Francis has expressed in this
> opinion, *“Many think Halloween is a simple carnival like celebration,
> it is not innocent. It is a small room leading to a much more
> dangerous one. There is always more evil rituals, sacrifices,
> defilements of cemeteries and stealing of sacred bones on Halloween.
> **Taking part in Halloween is like being ritually initiated into the
> occult.**”*
Pretty strong words coming from the pope. Is this quote genuine? and if so, do all catholics agree with this? Is there an official stance taken by the catholic church against Halloween?
