Petitioning Against Satanic Mass

[gus]

They’re not related like you say they are. Islam is a recognised religion and so it is right that Muslims can practice it. ISIS is a terrorist group, using what they believe to be Islam to justify their actions. Obviously, they are wrong.

Satanists also have a right to practice their religion, even if you are opposed to it.

Not when a requirement of their religion is use of s consecrated host thst can only be obtained by theft .

Wouldn’t we just be contributing to the indifference and relativistic ways of our society if we just let them be?

A very good point. Maybe it’s good to go on record as being opposed to this sort of stuff with a petition rather than just standing by. I hope it will be stopped. Also nearby churches should beef up security to deal with the possibility of stolen host.

I don’t think the Host is stolen in the sense that someone breaks into the church and takes it from the tabernacle. It is probably stolen during Communion. The person receives the Host on the hand, pretends he consumes it, casually walks out after doing so and nobody is the wiser.

Hello friends, this whole thread reeks of fear and misinformation. As a child in the sixties and seventies I heard the urban legend about Satanists stealing a host many times, but it is just that, a legend and not true at all. Also some of the statements I know, and I do know some, do not even believe in the devil. In fact they are more atheist or agnostic. Lastly, as mentioned before that is why we have the First Amendment and they must absolutely be free to assemble peacefully and practice and religion they wish.

In fact, this whole fear of devil worshipping reached the peak in the eighties when groups like Judas Priest or being sued by parents who thought there were satanic messages and every rock and roll song.
