Priest hits out at Jesus costume

Fr Tom Deenihan, the diocesan secretary at the Diocese of Cork and Ross, was responding after the store, Halloween HQ, which has 10 outlets across seven cities, included the outfits in its ‘horror’ range.
A Christ-like figure is used to market the packages, which are displayed alongside vampires, devils and other assorted ghouls. Priced at €35, the costumes include a white robe, red drape, wig, beard, and “soft crown of thorns”.
