This event is not being hosted by Harvard University nor by any official constituent part of the university.

This is being hosted by a student organization at the Harvard Extension School. Here is some background information on the Harvard Extension School

The Harvard Extension School is sort of Harvard’s “night school,” its school for non-traditional (read: older, working) students.

The Extension School, although a part of Harvard University, is not part of Harvard College, which is the primary undergraduate institution of Harvard University. Harvard College is the one to which high school seniors apply and are rejected at a rate of a bit over 94%. Classes at the Extension School are, conversely, open enrollment.

The Harvard Extension School’s status is similar to the University of Maryland University College, and its relation to Harvard College is similar to the relationship between the University of Maryland University College (UMUC) and the University of Maryland at College Park (UMCP). Both are part of the University of Maryland System, but they are clearly separate institutions. For those familiar with Thom Tillis, it was the confusion between UMUC and UMCP that caused a bit of a kerfuffle. Here in Maryland, its a bit of a mortal sin to claim UMCP when one’s diploma reads UMUC. So it is with the Extension School. No one at Harvard confuses the Extension School with the College.

The Extension School offers a wide variety of courses, and most who attend are going to pick up a course or two of interest to them. Anyone may pay their fees and tuition and take classes. It offers many of its courses on-line.

The school also offers its own degrees, but admissions to the degree programs are not open enrollment. The Extension School does not grant Harvard College undergraduate degrees (generally SB and AB degrees - the equivalent of BS and BA degrees), but rather its own ALB degree (a bachelor of liberal arts degree). Extension School students don’t generally attend day school classes, but rather classes that are run by the Extension School. Some of these classes are taught by actual, tenured Harvard faculty, others are not. Extension School students are permitted to petition to take Harvard College classes, but require the permission of the faculty member teaching the desired classes, and cannot displace College students desiring to take the same courses at the College.

Extension School students do not live on campus with College undergraduates, do not have access to College housing or dining halls, and do not generally participate in the activities of College student organizations.

Although, per Christian theology, Satan certainly runs a kingdom of evil, populated by fallen angels, it is not independent. Satan needs permission from God to do anything. The idea of an independent kingdom of evil is a Manichean concept that was condemned as heresy by the Church long ago.

Is Isaiah not part of the Hebrew Bible?

"How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!

For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:

I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.

Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit."

Were I a Harvard Alumnus I would be an unhappy Catholic. Maybe enough to slow down my annual gifts. Just my thoughts.

Dear narses,

For what reason?

Satanists understand what the Catholic Mass is all about, even if Protestants don't. Their rituals are aimed at achieving the highest form of blasphemy and sacrilege and to do that, they understand that it is necessary to profane the most sacred and powerful form of Christian worship; the Mass.

If the Mass were an empty, repetitive ritual of no use to man nor God, as some Protestants claim, it would be of no use to those who wish to spit in the face of God. Doing this requires the corrupting of something which is most precious to the Almighty.

Look and learn, folks.

Branding matters. These stunts harm the brand. If Harvard College wants to mitigate that harm, they need to do as you did and make clear the distinction.

Dear narses,

The university has done just that. Did you not notice the link cited in post 31 by MeshugeMikey?

Was it insufficiently clear to you?

Oh, yes, on all counts. A period of blackness in our country, like this, is not entirely by chance. It is simply too pervasive and sadly we have brought it on ourselves, either by neglect and self adsorption or by direct subversion.

Repair is decades away, if ever. God have Mercy.

It would be of no use, except as a form of "false flag" psychological warfare. It may simply serve to antagonize Catholic beliefs, and possibly to set up/reinforce false ideas about transubstantiation / the sufficiency and efficacy of Christ's once-for-all sacrifice on the cross.

"Catholicism must be true, if the Satanists think so!"

Why the need to mention "Protestants" negatively in your comment? This is about SATANISTS and their mockery of Roman Catholicism and all those who identify with it. Plenty of non-Catholic Christians understand what the Catholic Mass is all about - some just happen to disagree with what it has come to mean over the centuries as well as the elitism and superiority it presumes over all other Christians - but that shouldn't open the door to dump on FR's Protestants. I don't doubt that a large percentage of practicing Satanists were at one time Catholics, hence the intentional blasphemy and sacrilege in which they relish. I disagree that your Mass is the "most sacred and powerful form of Christian worship", but you probably already know that and we non-FRoman Catholic Christians have not shied away from saying why.

If the Mass were an empty, repetitive ritual of no use to man nor God, as some Protestants claim, it would be of no use to those who wish to spit in the face of God. Doing this requires the corrupting of something which is most precious to the Almighty. Look and learn, folks.

Yes, look and learn that Catholics would WANT everyone to believe wholeheartedly that ONLY the Roman Catholic Church can offer what is "most precious to the Almighty" and we should all run as fast as we can to sign up, but, that doesn't necessarily make them right. Imagining the Mass to BE the sacrifice of Christ upon the cross every time it is performed and the partaking of the consecrated "host" the actual eating and drinking of Jesus' body, blood, soul and divinity every time one does so in order to be sanctified by its grace, doesn't make it so, either. We are sanctified by the offering of Christ ONCE FOR ALL and are made righteous THROUGH faith by the grace of God.

These misguided Satanists - ever looking for more outrageous and blasphemous things to shove into Christians' faces - should be laughed at and pitied rather than allowing them to shock or outrage. I would hope Catholics in hysterics over the possibility of one of them actually having a "consecrated host" (as if Jesus is held captive and forced to undergo whatever nefarious intentions they have for him) would take a breath and rest assured that, had Jesus really been in it at all, He would be long gone before He allowed Himself to be profaned. Yes, look and learn.
