Mobilizing Against Black Masses

NATIONAL CATHOLIC REGISTER
By Father Roger Landry
A Religious Black Mass will be conducted as a public event to help educate the public about Religious Satanism.
OKLAHOMA---As Catholics in Oklahoma valiantly rally to stop a Sept. 21 Satanic “black Mass” at the Oklahoma City Civic Center Music Hall, there’s much that those outside of the Sooner State can do to augment their efforts. In May, I was part of a large group that assisted Catholic students successfully to shut down the May 12 re-enactment of a Satanic mass on the Harvard campus. The first thing we did was to frame what was happening in terms by which Catholics and non-Catholics alike would be motivated to support us. For non-Catholics, we tried to convey that the Eucharist is the most sacred reality of Catholic life and worship. To desecrate the Eucharist is at least for Catholics equally revolting to our sensibilities as would be the burning of the Qu’ran for Muslims or the defacing of the Torah for Jews — outrageous actions, we stressed, for which a venue at Harvard would never be given.
