I know it’s just a reenactment, but it makes you think about the reality of such rituals.

These atheists think that satanism was a lash-out against the authority of the Church. No, that was Protestantism, atheism, other such religions or ideas…satanism is a belief in the truth of the Church and the rejection of the goodness of it. And these people are making it into a publicized joke. Imagine, in today’s culture and society, college students attending such a reenactment and thinking “This is so cool and hipster! I’m going to actually get involved!”
It’s not a good idea for anyone. The world would be a better place if these occult rituals were forgotten about and left to die, not shown off like a grand party to a world of highly impressionable young adults.
 
Lord have Mercy on them, they know not what they do. I pray that the host is not consecrated, so Christ can be spared that sacrilege. And I pray that the innocent interest of misguided students does not bring them to the wrong path. I’ve seen a demon, I know that they are real, and I know that they can be called by these dark “sacraments.”
That they even use that word is repulsive, as the word sacred should not be applied in any way to the abomination going on there. I agree with learning about the evil around us. I do not believe in taking part of it as a witness, which is exactly what attending this evil ceremony is doing.

Extremely blasphemous and morally reprehensible. Nothing good can come out of it. I would never attend. That would imply approval. Demonic attacks and. possessions could occur. It would be mortally sinful to attend.

This event should be boycotted, protested against and banned.

I think that is precisely what they would want Christians to do.

Why play into it?

We are the eyes, ears, and heart of Jesus, we are the Body of Christ.

Are we flocking to adoration, standing room only, to pray for our enemies and renew the Church?
 
Anyone wonder why Satanists would never defile a Muslim prayer service, or use Mormon bread and water for their Black Masses? Because they know the truth. They know the Catholic Church is true and that the host really is Jesus. This is just affirmation of that for me.

However I have to wonder, if a human knew that demons (and therefore God) were real, why work for the bad side?!

I don’t see the problem. Students aren’t required to go. I find Satanism distasteful in general, but this is a group that is very politically relevant right now. Frankly, I’d love the chance to go and ask a few questions after the presentation. Learning about something, even if it’s the antithesis of what you believe and value, is never a mistake (and it’s quite often valuable).

I think the other Christian groups in antiquity, including the Gnostics, also had “mass”…so it isn’t solely a Catholic thing.

The way it is described in the article, this event looks to be completely informational and academic. It’s for the Cultural Studies club…and this would be part of our culture.

Being curious has its limits. Like Eve, tempted by Satan, she craved for knowledge and decided to go against God and ate the forbidden fruit. Those who say they would go (especially Catholics), isn’t it the same? How shameful. What do you say now that you were lied (of course, Satan is the prince of lies) and that they will have a consecrated host? (read the link) Even if they weren’t, it is still being unfaithful to the Lord. Either you do good or do evil. And what is evil? Evil is the lack or privation of a good that should be present in a thing, it does not exist in itself, it is merely the absence of the good (CCC 309, 314). So you would go just because someone said it is for educational purposes? So your way to learn is to be present in a black mass? Ridiculous. Yet another fallen Eve.

This is where we unite and combat the demonic influenced society. Not to join them. “Christians are born for combat, whereof the greater the vehemence, the more assured, God aiding, the triumph.” - Pope Leo XIII

black masses do use consecrated hosts when they can get their hands on them. I forget the guy’s name, but he used to be a satanist turned Catholic and has a book out. In an interview with this guy he talks about how they used a consecrated host and how they would have several un-consecrated ones with one that was and he could pick it out every time because as a satanist, its presence would offend him! Goes to show that even satanists believe in the real presence but sadly most Catholics don’t!

I would love to attend this with as many Catholics as possible and pray the rosary the entire time!

I didn’t mean to imply that it wasn’t true. Just that it is a disheartening thing to even imagine the Eucharist being abused in such a fashion.
 
I would definitely not attend except as a protester. However, I would be willing to join a group of protesters outside the event who are praying the Rosary and and possibly passing out tracts such as the ones on Catholic Answers’ main site.

Oh I didn’t think that’s what you were doing. 🙂 I was only confirming what I learned from an ex-satanist. And I agree with your sentiment. While on one hand I would like to be there to interrupt it, I don’t know that I could stand seeing what is being done.

This article from an ex-satanist, Catholic revert talks about the dangers of this and its sole purpose being mockery of Christianity…
catholicworldreport.com/Item/2122/satanism_is_about_destroying_the_church.aspx

from the article…

CWR: Did you attend Black Masses?

Deborah: Yes. They were absolutely disgusting…the Eucharist is defiled…statues and crucifixes were turned upside down; anything to mock Christianity. It is depravity at its worst. Satanism is about indulgence, and destroying the Church and traditional morality.

While a piece of bread is used in the reenactment, the performance unequivocally does not include a consecrated host.

The thing that really bugs me about this is the dishonesty. If they were in fact Satanists I wouldn’t be bothered nearly as much (assuming they use an unconsecrated host). The fact that they are atheists who don’t believe in God or Satan makes it much worse becuase it’s clear it’s about making fun of Christians or getting us angry so they can then make fun of the reaction (maybe show how intolerant we are). When your sole purpose is to make fun of someone or antagonize them, there can be no meaningful dialog. If they were at least honest about their intentions there could possibly be something to learn.
