But, how is the Catholic church to combat a Pagan practice? The mainstream denominations do not condone the occult.
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).

At Maryz's request, I am going to answer, but privately.
