Masbate Bishop Joel Baylon said retailers selling scary merchandise create a 田limate of fear" among children.
的知 worried that Halloween has the potential to trivialize the realities of evil in the world and occult practices should not be condoned, even if they are only being presented like toys," he said in an article posted on the Catholic Bishops' Conference of the Philippines website.

People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.
The catholic faith is riddled with commercialization.... from idols/statues, scapulars, oils, rosaries, petals, cd's/dvd, books etc etc... and whatever products they can sell...
Aside from products.. they also have services... fees for offerings, blessings, masses, burials, weddings, baptism, confirmation... you get the picture?

I think the Catholic church wants to "catholicize" Halloween.
Of course, any internet enthusiasts who wants to learn what Halloween really is about should visit this
Halloween - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Halloween (also written Hallowe'en, literally "holy evening"), also known as All Hallows' Eve or All Saints' Eve, is an annual holiday celebrated on October 31. It has roots in the Celtic festival of Samhain and gets its name from being the evening (e'en) before the Western Christian holy day of All Saints (the Eastern Orthodox celebrate All Saints' Day in June). It is largely a secular celebration but some have expressed strong feelings about perceived religious overtones.

Symbolism of Halloween
Snap-Apple Night by Daniel Maclise showing a Halloween party in Blarney, Ireland, in 1832. The young children on the right bob for apples. A couple in the center play a variant, which involves retrieving an apple hanging from a string. The couples at left play divination games.
