We were allowed, to have a parade float and we had a student portray Jesus. He only waved, no speaking...no one was offended. My son desires to be a priest, so I wouldn't allow him to play 'dress up' ..it's a matter of respect to the Holy Orders.

For me, dressing as the Venerable Fulton Sheen would be fine. Dressing as St. Thérèse of the Infant Jesus and the Holy Face? Not so much. Me, I'd sooner dress as Formosus, the ninth-century pope who was exhumed and tried posthumously in the infamous Cadaver Synod. That'd be totally Glen Danzig.
