...The Oklahoma Civic Center Music Hall in Oklahoma City is planning on hosting a “black Mass” on September 21st. His Grace Paul Coakley, the Archbishop of Oklahoma City, has called upon all of the Catholics of his diocese to join in prayer against this event. The full text of the letter can be read here:
"In spite of repeated requests, there has been no indication that the City intends to prevent this event from taking place. ... Since it seems this event will not be cancelled, I am calling on all Catholics of the Archdiocese of Oklahoma City to counteract this challenge to faith and decency through prayer and penance. Specifically, I am asking that the Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel be included at the conclusion of every Mass, beginning on the Feast of the Transfiguration of the Lord (August 6) and continuing through the Feast of the Archangels (September 29). I invite all Catholics to pray daily for divine protection through the intercession of this heavenly patron who once defeated Lucifer in his rebellion against the Almighty and who stands ready to assist us in this hour of need.
Secondly, I am asking that each parish conduct a Eucharistic Holy Hour with Benediction to honor Christ’s Real Presence in the Holy Eucharist, between the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary (August 15) and September 21, to avert this proposed sacrilege.
Finally, I invite all Catholics, Christians and people of good will to join me in prayer for a Holy Hour, outdoor Eucharistic Procession and Benediction at St. Francis of Assisi Church in Oklahoma City at 3:00 p.m. on Sunday, September 21, the day of the proposed sacrilege."

The city CAN’T close this down. Once you open the door to any kind of religious display in a public building ... you have to permit all of them.
As I have said from the beginning of these terrible SCOTUS decisions (Hobby Lobby etc), they seem Christian friendly but they are not. In time, they are all going to be used against us.
Disaster.
Actually praise of God is like acid to demons. Singing is like scratching your nails on a chalkboard. Anyone watch the video of the spontaneous pro-Israel response in the diamond district after pro-Palestinians marched down their street? I personally sing the doxology when faced with the greatest evils.
I would get enough people together to pray the Rosary as the encircle the alleged destination for the Black Mass.
The Satanists would be defeated.
pray the Rosary as they encircle the alleged destination for the Black Mass.
I will pray.
Excellent idea.
I will pray for St. Michael’s help.
“I would get enough people together to pray the Rosary as the encircle the alleged destination for the Black Mass. The Satanists would be defeated.”
Rosaries in the left hand, Glocks in the right. Wins every time.
