What exactly is the church's new position regarding Black Mass, compared to the old? Or is this the first time the issue has been addressed?
I think of a "pagan" practice as more like a libation to Apollo (though I know it had darker manifestations, like offering children to Moloch); the "black mass" is purely Satanic.
BlackElk, can you help me out here? I have to get back to work, and I've pretty well already come up with all I know (and it makes me uncomfortable even to think about it).
