Church officials say they will “combat evil” by hosting a positive worship service to counter a Harvard group’s Satanic mass planned for Monday evening. The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Boston will host a Eucharistic procession from MIT to a nearby church for an hour of prayer, The Boston Globe reports. The religious procession will end up at St. Paul’s Parish in Harvard Square, just a 10-minutes walk from the Queen’s Head Pub in Memorial Hall the Harvard Extension Cultural Studies Club is set to hold a “black mass.” A black mass is a ritual performed as a parody of the Roman Catholic Mass.

-— If freedom of religion didn’t have Satanism and Islam in mind (and I think it didn’t), perhaps we need to amend the Constitution. -—
The First Amendment has been redefined. The federal government can not establish a federal religion, but individual states can, and did, well into the nineteenth century.
States are within their rights to prevent atrocities such as this “satanic mass,” and restrict Islam, which is a seditious religion/political program.
An established religion does not necessarily entail religious persecution. See Israel and the UK.

Our job is to do good and avoid evil. That job includes resisting evil prudently.
Yes, God tolerates evil so that greater good may come. But we’re not God.
Galatians 6:7
Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
Yes, they will be cursed, and sin hurts innocent people.
Innocent people do suffer from the sins of others, but no one is cursed by God for the sins of others.
That is morally diseased thinking.

***Why would anyone want to worship satan?***
Let us not forget that Saul Alinsky dedicated “Rules for Radicals” to satan. Enough said.
Exactly. Ever since Vatican 2 allowed Communion in the hand, anyone anywhere can carry a host out of Mass. I have seen teenagers do this...for what purpose I can only guess.
You are very naive.
