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."

Action, ping!
I predict armed resistance.
Well, that’s just me.
This little pansy needs to try this BS on Islam. He wouldn’t last a millisecond.
Nothing will stop these acts until Catholics start cutting the heads of f of those the disrespect their religion..........anyway that’s how the muslims stop it.
Of course, he'd probably deny it, but he's on the same team as Islam.
He could perhaps wake up very far away, tied to a tree, before he could pull it off... Just saying...
How can one get a “permit” to desecrate a religious statue?
our country is sick
Perhaps it’s a permit to hold a public event in a certain area?
Who owns the statue?
If the city owns it, then I don’t consider it to be Sacred. So it can’t be desecrated.
If the Catholic Church owns it and regards it as Holy, then they should be able to stop this guy.
If the Satanist owns it, then it is already just a worthless piece of plaster. Again, it can’t be desecrated.
My humble opinion....
If 1,000 Catholics showed up with rifles, the event would be canceled and no one would even get arrested for fear of causing a larger problem.
I’m just saying . . .
I assume that the statue is on Church property which is private. Have a couple dozen young, fit men hold a prayer vigil surrounding the statue.
“If the city owns it, then I don’t consider it to be Sacred. So it can’t be desecrated.”
The secular government of France owns all the cathedrals in the country. Are they then not sacred?
“Nothing will stop these acts until Catholics start cutting the heads of f of those the disrespect their religion..........anyway that’s how the muslims stop it.”
Nobody needs to die. If several hundred or a thousand Catholics showed up with rifles, the event would be cancelled and no one would get hurt.
“The secular government of France owns all the cathedrals in the country. Are they then not sacred?”
In my opinion? No, they are not sacred. They are just buildings. But that doesn’t mean that Holy things can’t happen inside them.
I can’t see this happening anywhere 50 years ago, even if there wasn’t a Catholic within 200 miles. It just wouldn’t have gone down, in my opinion.

“I assume that the statue is on Church property which is private. Have a couple dozen young, fit men hold a prayer vigil surrounding the statue.”
I bet the Satanists own a statue and will bring it in for this sickfest. If it was owned by the Church, then this event would not be permitted because it would be private property of the Church. It’s probably a 3 foot high statue they’re going to carry in with them.
“In my opinion? No, they are not sacred. They are just buildings. But that doesn’t mean that Holy things can’t happen inside them.”
They are consecrated buildings on consecrated ground. The sacraments take place in them. Saints are buried within them. They’re sacred. Opinion has nothing to do with it.
” It just wouldn’t have gone down, in my opinion.”
Certainly not any sort of Satanic nonsense. People would have recoiled from the idea of an open display of satanism. Now it keeps popping up. We’re headed for dark times.
