Did you ask him what he thinks of Presbyterians?
They encountered raw Satanism while doing mission work for the COGIC in Haiti. They themselves never converted to Catholicism that I know of --- we've been out of touch --- but Mrs. K. started attending the Mass on a fairly frequent basis. Her only explanation was, "I need the Lord, I need the strength."
The Catholics are not the only Christians who believe Christ’s consecrated bread and wine contain His “Real Presence.”
Various Orthodox churches, Anglicans, Episcopalians, and Lutherans all do.
Mat_15:14 Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.
Thought you might find this interesting.
I told him that I had also heard that those who were very deep in Satanism could actually tell whether a communion host had been consecrated or not. For example, they will not steal communion bread from Protestant communion meals, nor will they steal unblessed communion bread for desecration at these “Black Masses.” It would not work because some of the Satanists would immediately recognize that it was just ordinary bread.
This is an anti-protestant article. Nothing personal. Just calling it what it is.
On a side note, I found the very beginning kind of comical when he said he “bombarded” him with three questions. Three questions does not a bombardment make.
Too darn much hyperbole in this article. I know the writer is just trying to make it interesting, but it’s over the top.

The satanist says they didn’t steal communion bread from protestant sects, as it was not seen as the real Jesus. Interesting testimony.
same question to you too cuban..
do you hate the consecrated Eucharist of the Catholic Church?
Lurking’
do you hate the consecrated Eucharist of the Catholic Church?
I take Jesus’ cue. As often as I do it, I do it in remembrance of Him. This means that, as Jesus’ disciples did, sometimes my wife and I will take communion after a meal.
One of the cool things about communion is that the instructions were so simple that even after two millennia it need not be corrupted by man. The activity is simple. It’s message is simple, and it is the symbol of the core of Christianity. For me it is part of the proof of the truth of Jesus and His purpose.
It’s simple. Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul and with all your mind. And love your neighbor as yourself. I don’t think going to Catholic church precludes this.
If the “Catholic Church” has become a god to you, then you have a very big problem.
Don’t be distracted by the traditions of men.
A few years ago, a group of Occultists broke into my home LCMS parish in Nebraska and stole all the hosts.
The Catholics are not the only Christians who believe Christ’s consecrated bread and wine contain His “Real Presence.”
Since we have no way of testing the former Satanist’s claims, I guess we just take his word that he could tell which host was which.
Are you saying that some Protestants believe that Communion really IS the body and blood of Christ? I ask simply because I am not familiar with this.
But the Real Sacramental Presence actually being there, is known by demons. And hence, the hate.
Tagline.

What I’ve not mentioned is that I used to know a guy who claimed to be an ex-warlock but had become a Christian. The stories he would tell would make the hair on the back of you neck stand up. Like the source of the material in this story, he was an “ex satanist” whou had become a Christian. But he went to an Assembly of God church.
But I actually KNOW the one guy and could challenge the veracity of his story, which I did. All I can do with this one is accept or reject it at face value.
BTW, I went with a large church group to see The Passion. I was the only one that had a problem with a movie depicting, in overtly graphic detail and for entertainment, the torture of my Lord. It disgusted me.
