P.S.: Is it only Catholics who war against this stuff?

Before responding, a question. What do you understand by the words "consecrated host"?

Incrementalism has brought this country down.

Little steps descending slowly over the decades have led to the state America suffers now.

It’s more than brats playing Satan. For Catholics, it is a desecration. It is a huge and blatant offense that is a hate crime. In America, however, a hate crime against Catholics doesn’t count.

One doesn’t have to be Catholic to see where this type of license and behavior leads.

I’ll bet this would never be allowed to occur if they planned to burn a Koran as part of the ceremony.

Don't be absurd. You have no right not to be offended. And given the Catholic church's treatement of other religions in the past you have no sympathy from me either. What these people do in no way affects your ability to practice your religion.

Apparently, part of this was a theft of something from a Roman Catholic group. Waifers or something.

Oz Osborne and Ozzy Osbourne are not the same person.

Coven is an American rock band formed in the late 1960s, composed of vocalist Jinx Dawson, bassist Oz Osborne (not to be confused with Ozzy Osbourne of Black Sabbath), Chris Neilsen on guitar, Rick Durrett and later John Hobbs on keyboards, and drummer Steve Ross. They are recognized as being the band that first introduced the “Sign of the Horns” to rock, metal and pop culture (as seen on their 1969 debut album release Witchcraft Destroys Minds & Reaps Souls). (From the article “Coven (Band)” on Wikipedia.)

I have no right to be offended?

In what universe do you live?

I have every single right in the world to be offended.

It most certainly does affect my ability to practice my religion since the desecration of the Eucharist is an in- your-face affront.

Sympathy? That’s another one of those politically correct postures that I abhor. I certainly do not care nor do I want any form of emotional construct from some anonymous poster on a BBS.

You can take your Aunt Sally of ages past back to the woodshed because it has no bearing on this topic.

"Are they gonna sacrifice live humans...'cause that's what satan likes..death".

Most of them undoubtedly support abortion and vote for pro-abortion legislators.

So they're already involved in what satan likes....death.

Abortion is one of the holy sacraments of unbelievers. Baptism is a holy sacrament of Christian believers.

I”t added that the black mass is part of a series of events hosted by the Cultural Studies Club, which also includes “a Shinto tea ceremony, a Shaker exhibition, and a Buddhist presentation on meditation – as part of a student-led effort to explore different cultures.”

Why didn’t they show a Japanese tea ceremony with piss in the cups or a Buddhist meditation against a porn video? Certainly, they can bring in subversive groups that give equal time for despoiling those spiritual acts?

Naw, that would be {say it with me, folks) racist.

Passive Christians are such an easy target.

Let them protest for women's rights at the nearest mosque and mock the koran and muhammad.

~ PRAYER ~

St. Michael, the Archangel, defend us in battle
 Be our protection against the wickedness
and snares of the devil;
May God rebuke him, we  humbly pray,
 and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly host,
 by the power of God,
 Cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits
who prowl through the world seeking the ruin of souls.
 Amen

**Fr. Laundry went on to say that Harvard “simply would never allow itself or its properties to be associated with events that mock the religious beliefs, desecrate the sacred texts, or insult the spiritual sensitivities of Jews or Muslims.”**

So why Catholics?

Amen. Circle them with the Rosary circle. The devil won’t go in through that!

I didn't say you have no right to be offended. I said you have no right not to be offended. That's what leftists believe with their insistence on speech codes and hate crimes. You sound like one. Read first, reply second.

Apparently it's not just a thing of "ages past", as you still think you have the right to tell others what they can and can't do. And if a handful of brats can affect your ability to practice you faith, that says more about your insecurity than anything they are doing to you.

Finally, the real irony is the church invented Satanism from whole cloth to demonize pagans, and now you are incensed when people mimic it.
