This is where communion in the hand leads, ping!

Read where the “extension school” is affiliated somehow with Harvard, but that these attendees are not to be confused with Harvard students, because anyone can attend classes in this off campus location. May have been seen on New Advent website, where something was reported— I can’t remember.

Word is they will not be using a consecrated host, after all.

Hey I’m calling the Freedom From Religion Foundation!!! They’ll get right on it I’m sure.../s

A consecrated host is required for a Black Mass. Interesting that Satanists require a consecrated host. a plain, unconsecrated host is not sufficient. Now, if these Satanists do not believe in God or in Jesus Christ as the Son of God, why would they require a consecrated host for their desecration? By my calculation, they are indirectly acknowledging the Real Presence of Jesus Christ in the host.

Would they be so tolerant of a catholic church mass ?

In before the Cardinal declares, “BRAVO!”

Those people who go in for "luciferian" conspiracies and the alleged wickedness of the old Hamiltonian political tradition (as opposed to the "truly American" Jeffersonian one) are going to eat this stuff up. After all, you can't get any more Hamiltonian than Harvard, where Thurston Howell III meets Che Guevara.

This proves that Communism truly is secretly run by old Boston Brahmins!

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.

Wow, we are talking consecrated host.That put this into a whole different realm.

Catholic Church Condemns Black Mass Reenactment At Harvard University

CAMBRIDGE (CBS) – A reenactment of a Black Mass celebrating Satan is scheduled to take place at Harvard University on Monday evening. It has outraged the Catholic Church, but the group holding the event says it’s educational .
The Harvard Extension Cultural Studies Club is hosting the Satanic Temple from New York. The Black Mass is scheduled for Monday night in the basement of Memorial Hall.
“It’s kind of troubling especially to Christians, but at the same time if they’re doing it for academic inquiry. This should be a safe place,” said Misan Oteri, student.
“It is still heavily offending a group. And, what’s the purpose?” student Farhad Dokhani said.
“Educational purposes definitely give you a reason to look into anything,” student Laureen Brady said.
The club released the following statement:
We are hosting a reenactment of a historical event known as a Black Mass. The performance is designed to be educational and is preceded by a lecture that provides the history, context, and origin of the Black Mass. While a piece of bread is used in the reenactment, the performance unequivocally does not include a consecrated host. Our purpose is not to denigrate any religion or faith, which would be repugnant to our educational purposes, but instead to learn and experience the history of different cultural practices. This performance is part of a larger effort to explore religious facets that continue to influence contemporary culture.
The Archdiocese of Boston wants Harvard to put a stop to the event saying:
The Catholic community in the Archdiocese of Boston expresses its deep sadness and strong opposition to the plan to stage a “black mass” on the campus of Harvard University in Cambridge.
For the good of the Catholic faithful and all people, the Church provides clear teaching concerning Satanic worship. This activity separates people from God and the human community, it is contrary to charity and goodness, and it places participants dangerously close to destructive works of evil.
In a recent statement, Pope Francis warned of the danger of being naïve about or underestimating the power of Satan, whose evil is too often tragically present in our midst. We call upon all believers and people of good will to join us in prayer for those who are involved in this event, that they may come to appreciate the gravity of their actions, and in asking Harvard to disassociate itself from this activity.
In response to the Black Mass the archdiocese is holding a holy hour starting at 8 p.m. on Monday at St. Paul’s Church, which is also the Catholic Church at Harvard.
Harvard University says it supports the rights of students and faculty.
