Catholics from around the nation are calling upon officials in Oklahoma City to revoke a permit that will allow a Satanist to publicly desecrate a statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary on Christmas Eve.
TFPStudentAction.com is reporting on a petition drive that is asking the city to rethink its plans to permit Adam Daniels, the same Satanist who staged a black mass in the city last year, to pour stage blood over a statue of Our Lady. The event will take place on December 24 in front of St. Joseph Old Cathedral in Oklahoma City.
"The purpose of the blood is to add another layer of corruption to Mary, which is an emblem of the Catholic Church," Daniels recently told The Oklahoman.
News of the blasphemous presentation has sparked ire in Catholics around the nation as they prepare for one the holiest feast days in the Church.
"This public attack against the Mother of God on Christmas Eve is more than a morbid cry for media attention and should be called out for what it really is: religious persecution with City Hall approval," the TFP says.
"To dismiss this satanic desecration right in front of St. Joseph Old Cathedral as a simple publicity stunt is to ignore the grave nature of this public sin and its consequences for our nation as one nation under God."
As a result, they have launched a petition drive addressed to Mick Cornett, the mayor of Oklahoma City, asking him to revoke the permit.
"With Oklahoma City’s apparent stamp of approval, satanists will desecrate a statue of the Virgin Mary, the Mother of God, in front of St. Joseph Old Cathedral on Christmas Eve," the petition reads. "I respectfully urge you to revoke the permit issued for this public sacrilege which will only incite hatred against God and His Church, injure the name of Mary, disturb the peace and harm the community. Stop this religious persecution."
TFP Student Action is planning a peaceful protest outside City Hall on Wednesday, December 23, at noon where they will recite the Holy Rosary.
" ... [W]hat better Christmas gift can we offer the Infant Jesus [than] a robust defense of His Mother’s good name."

What is it with Satanists in Oklahoma City? That town seems to have more than their share.
It’s a hate crime. An act of terror intended to instill fear. To intimidate Christians.
The Satanists have been given a permit to commit a hate crime.
It’s irrelevant who owns the statue that will be defaced.
When the KKK burns a cross on someone’s front lawn, don’t they bring their own cross and gasoline? Does that make it ok?
On this basis, Catholics in that church, at the very least, have standing to sue the city until it bleeds.
Please see my post # 42.
Oh ok then shoot his ear off.
But you prolly aren’t going to be there anyway.
“Have a couple dozen young, fit men hold a prayer vigil surrounding the statue.”
That or 1000 old fashion nuns with big rulers!!
I'm just saying . . .
Too bad the flipping bishops are so opposed to private gun ownership. And this isn't one of my usual slurs, Vlad; you know how the bishops are. I suppose it's a combination of being primarily urban in this country and sucking up to the government to keep the money rolling in.
America's Catholic bishops are a disgrace.
I can assure you that if it were Fundamentalist Protestants threatening to do such a thing every single liberal politician--including the ones who are usually so loud in their criticisms of the Church--would be screaming bloody murder about "hate crime" and "religious bias (and the nation's Catholic leaders would be talking about how awful it is not to accept that all religions are equally valid). But because it isn't Fundamentalist Protestants all the same liberals will now defend it.
Fundamentalist Protestants are the only people left who can't get away with this type of anti-Catholicism.
That would probably be more intimidating!
“Oh ok then shoot his ear off.”
No shots will need to be fired.
“But you prolly aren’t going to be there anyway.”
Wrong state.
“Too bad the flipping bishops are so opposed to private gun ownership.”
Not all are. Sadly too many are.
By making the idiots of westboro baptist “church” the face of opposition to the homosexual movement, the left and its allies in the media were able to make any opposition to homosexuality seem fringe.
The right should do the same to this moron. Make him the face of the democrat party. Make an ad showing him doing this and show the booing of God at the Democrat convention
