How far this nation has slid, when a black mass is performed, unashamedly, in public. With the support of the public.

Daniels is a moron. Unless you have faith in God and have accepted Christ as your Savior, the host is nothing but bread and the wine is nothing but wine.

He can do as he likes but in the end he is doing nothing but desecrating mere bread and wine.

Fun and games, desecrating holy things for the publicity.

God gets the last laugh on Judgment Day.

It would be really cool if the host turned to actual flesh. That would freak them out!

I am an usher in my church. Maintaining security on consecrated hosts is at the top of our To Do List.

Yet another reason to end the abomination known as giving Holy Communion in the hand

If I were a Zoroastrian, I would be enraged by this as well.

The city government is providing a forum for the abuse and mockery of two different communities of citizens for the benefit of a third.

I am curious about one aspect of the wafers.

I did not grow up around Catholics nor do I really know any.

I understand the Satanists’ intent: They want to reject God publicly and insult and anger as many Catholics as possible in the process.
They are being deliberately disrespectful and blasphemous. That is their whole point.

But was completely in the dark about the security of the wafers.

I thought they were only sacred when given to the faithful by a priest during Communion.
I didn’t know they needed to be guarded.

I thought in any other case they were just cracker-like disks.
I mean, one can purchase them on Amazon.
Does that mean it would be sacrilege for me to have one?
Not that I have any interest in doing so.

Sorry for my ignorance on this.
I have no desire to insult anyone or be disrespectful.

So do I understand him to say that he didn’t expect some sort of Spanish Inquisition over this?

No one expects the Spanish Inquisition.

So Satanists say they have a consecrated host “mailed to them by a friend”. And we’re 100% sure it’s consecrated.

Setting aside the spiritual/religious side of the argument, it appears that this falls into the category of protest, like burning the flag or koran. Is the “black mass” truly a form of worship, or just a provocative move to incite violence? Will they be breaking any laws or city ordinances? If neither, let him put on his charade and ignore it.

The last thing that needs to be done is give him the free publicity he craves. There are certainly more productive things a Believer could be doing than wringing their hands about a religious ceremony that without all the free publicity, would probably have gone largely unnoticed.

Satanists are about as stupid as stupid comes. Must have been publically educated.

Encircle the destination with people praying the Rosary. The Satanists will NOT be able to enter through that shield.

pussies...

this is not even going to get them the attention they want

if they had a set of balls they should announce a mass koran burning, and watch as hilarity ensues (I love it when hilarity ensues)
