Catholic ping!
Freep-mail me to get on or off my pro-life and Catholic List:
Please ping me to note-worthy Pro-Life or Catholic threads, or other threads of general interest.
This Protestant stands and cheers for you all.
As does this one.
#1 Prayer works!
As I’ve said on other threads, I grew up as a High-Church Episcopalian, but converted to Catholicism while I was an undergraduate at Harvard. Fr. Porras of Opus Dei was the Chaplain of the Harvard Catholic Club at that time, and there were a lot of faithful Catholics in the Club.
I went to Mass at St. Paul’s Church in Cambridge pretty often. It is a beautiful church, and at that time was a wonderful place to attend Mass. I don’t know how things are now. But I’m certainly encouraged by what I read about the response of Harvard and Boston Catholics to this challenge.
FYI
As does this agnostic lightning dodger.
Well done, from the Christian Marines.
Semper Fi!
LOL
Check your link again. It just moved off campus. Now the headline reads:
Even as Harvard Group Drops Sponsorship, Black Mass Underway at Hong Kong [restaurant]
Although the Harvard Extension School Cultural Studies Club dropped its sponsorship of a re-enactment of a Satanic black mass ritual earlier in the night, members of Satanic Temple gathered for what appeared to be a black mass on the second floor of the Hong Kong restaurant and lounge shortly after 10 p.m. Monday.
The Hong Kong is located on Massachusetts Avenue, directly across the street from Harvard Yard.
Yeah!!!!
Prayers continue for all those involved. Please open yourselves to Christ’s love.
Thanks for the updated information. I doubt they will find an altar in a chinese restaurant.
This is veering off into Spinal Tap territory now.
good
Thanks Be To God. This had become quite serious..I’m glad the local Christian Community spoke loudly and clearly against this blasphamy.
It really doesn’t matter where it’s held or not held now. Harvard was willing to allow on campus an event that attacked a class of students on their campus.
Nor does their excuse about free speech hold water. That is precisely the excuse one would expect to hear out of anyone who wanted to attack a class of people. If the Nazis wanted to hold an anti-Jewish rally at Harvard, one would expect them to use “free speech” as the issue.
So what is Harvard’s crime?
Honesty. Simple honesty.
Had Harvard said, “A hateful group has petitioned us for an opportunity to degrade all of our Catholic students at an on-campus event at 8 pm on 12 May at Queen’s Head Pub. Their existence as a group is premised on their hatred of a class of human beings. We do not recommend this program to anyone, yet, provided our security concerns are addressed, it will go forward because of our open forum policy on Harvard.”
This “re-enactment of a Satanic Mass” garbage was almost an advertisement. It was totally devoid of explanation that Satanism’s very existence is owed to a desire to degrade that class of students that adhere’s to Christianity.
Interesting. The Cultural Studies Club had members and a spokesman... But one had any names. Why. Don’t they publish the names of these people? Cowards!
