Satanic Mass Organizers: Catholic Outcry Paranoid, Intolerant

Cambridge, Mass., May 9, 2014 / 12:10 pm (CNA/EWTN News).- A Harvard student group organizing a re-enactment of a satanic black mass on campus has dismissed Catholic critics, calling their views arrogant and their objections ignorant and intolerant.

“Satanists have a ritual that they perform for their own affirmative reasons,” the Harvard Extension Cultural Studies Club told CNA May 8, adding that these reasons “currently have absolutely nothing to do with Catholicism beyond the symbols themselves.”

“Offense is anachronistic and based on intolerance and ignorance about the practice (of) Satanism.”

The club has faced controversy since it announced its plans to host a re-enactment of a satanic black mass on campus May 12. It described the ceremony as an educational event that is part of a larger series exploring various cultural practices.

The group said objections that have been raised to event are “closed-minded,” arguing that it is “paranoia” to think the satanic rituals and practices are designed to degrade the Catholic faith.

Actually a Satanic mass is quite fitting for that cesspool posing as a school considering how every problem this nation faces today is a direct result of its graduates.

“satanic mass”...isn’t that what they called hope and change’ 7 years ago? I guess they re-named it now, huh?

Satanists decry "God in their face" (whatever that means). Are they paranoid and intolerant?

Considering they worship the father of lies, I think this should be granted all the credibility it is due. About three notches below Jay Carney.

What’s the big deal? Harvard gave us Obama and Elizabeth Warren among others.

It’s hard to believe just how screwed up this country has become. Other countries are beginning to look better than this one, including former communist nations. The leftist strain of insanity (and this is insanity. years ago, this would have landed you in a mental institution), has destroyed America.

It’s why, more than any other issue, the 2nd Amendment is vital. If they EVER try to take that, start shooting. Without guns, this can all be imposed upon you to a greater extent. As long as you have your firearms, you can deliver justice in a land of injustice.

Didn’t they disqualify our candidate for Senate in Delaware because her boyfriend brought her to something like this?

Oh

These satanists need to have their pictures and identities clearly posted on many internet sites.

Generally, when you embrace such twisted evil, you end up with exactly what you ask for. May this experience be full of “life lessons” for these monsters...

They’re projecting their own intolerance and paranoia. The point of a black mass is to denigrate Christianity.

Satanists do not believe in Satan as an actual person

They keep on playing with the occult and it won't be long before they find out how wrong they were!

Christians who are objecting to this blasphemy are trying to warn these sinners:
“Be not deceived. God is not mocked. Whatever a man sows, that he will reap. (Galatians 6:7)
“How much worse punishment will be deserved by one who has trampled under foot the Son of God, and has tread as on unholy thing the blood of the covenant and who has insulted the Sprit of grace?…It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.” (Hebrews 10:29,31)

I was thinking the same thing.

After the destruction that they have wreaked on our country, a black mass celebration is entirely appropriate on their part.

Sorry…it should read “treated as an unholy thing”. (Apple seems to be possessed by Satan.)

Absolutely correct. I am 100% intolerant of the evil left and their love affair with Satan.
