“Ever since he first learned of a local satanic group’s plans to use a public theater to perform a “black mass,” Archbishop Paul S. Coakley of Oklahoma City has been urging public officials to cancel the event and asking Catholics to pray for that intention.”

Waste of effort and time that only leads to controversy and publicity.

It means nothing.

You should be more concerned about all the false religious stuff in that picture that is a total add-on to Christianity.

That is quite a statement. How about backing it up with solid facts.

Add-ons??? Ampu, Christianity has benefited from vigorous add-ons from Day One and even until today. There is nothing wrong with deepending clarifying and extending doctrine and practice under the sure guidance of the Holy Spirit, who is leading --- not just applying the brakes.

Sheesh. Do you realize that the Bible didn't even have chapters and verses until they were "added on"? Chapters were added by Archbishop Stephen Langton at the University of Paris around 1200 so passages could be cited in commentaries. Verses were put in around 1550 by Robert Estienne, a French scholar and printer who was working on a concordance to the Greek New Testament.

Ampu, my friend, don't you get this? You seem to think Christianity is a case of arrested development, like a fly immobilized in amber ca. 98 A.D. (or even before.)
