Do Not Celebrate the Pagan “Holiday” of Halloween
Halloween is un-Catholic, which is why so many traditional Catholic priests have taught over the years, that Catholics should not observe this pagan holiday. For a further analysis of why Catholics should not celebrate Halloween, read this article: https://catholiccandle.org/

Catholic Candle’s 2025 Catholic Calendar
The Catholic Candle’s 2025 Traditional Catholic calendar is coming soon. It will be free to download and freely distributable.
What we hold
If you want to know what is your “god”, and what is most important to you, reflect on what you like most to talk about and to think about.
Cf., Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola, Section: How to make a good choice, Second Way, Fourth Rule.
Catholic Candle note: To assist parents in homeschooling, we call your attention to a new Traditional Catholic homeschool which is now accessible worldwide. Here is some information about this homeschool:
Angelic Doctor Academy
We would like to introduce Angelic Doctor Academy, a Traditional Catholic homeschool for grades 9 – 12 (lower grades coming soon). We think Traditional Catholics will appreciate our unique and militantly Traditional Catholic curriculum. We have written many new textbooks because we saw the problems in many books commonly used, whether they were history, science, or in other disciplines. We think Catholic parents – especially busy mothers – will appreciate our unique grading system in which we correct everything, including handwritten essays. This allows the parents to concentrate on teaching, explaining, and keeping order. Please visit https://www.ada.school to learn more. Mention that you are a Catholic Candle subscriber for a 10% discount on materials. Thank you!
