Ever wondered what your Halloween costume says about your values and faith? Join us e as we explore Halloween costume selection through a Catholic lens, focusing on virtues, self-respect, and intentionality. We tackle the fine line between the difference in costumes like a "traditional nurse" and a "sexy nurse," and how choices reflect personal values and self-image. Parental influence, social justice implications, and the importance of modesty in both dress and behavior are key topics as we encourage young adults to choose mindfully. Deacon Mike adds a bit about a friend's costume that tried a bit too hard and one that didn't try at all.
We also consider the dignity of the human person in the desensitizing effect of violent outfits and the philosophical distinctions between shock value and symbolic suffering.
