Atlanta archbishop calls for prayers of reparation in face of satanic temple’s ‘black mass’

Archbishop Gregory J. Hartmayer of Atlanta has called on all Catholics to counter — with prayers of reparation and penance — the sacrilege of a so-called “black mass” being organized by the satanic temple of Atlanta and scheduled to take place Oct. 25.

“Even though tickets are being sold for this event as if it were merely some sort of dark entertainment, this satanic ritual is a serious sacrilege,” he said in an Oct. 8 memo to clergy, religious sisters and staff of the archdiocese. “It is a blasphemous and obscene inversion of the Catholic Mass.

“Using a consecrated host they claim they obtained illicitly from a Catholic church and desecrating it in the vilest ways imaginable, the practitioners offer it in sacrifice to Satan.”

Archbishop Hartmayer said that “this terrible sacrilege is a deliberate attack on the Catholic Mass as well as the foundational beliefs of all Christians. It mocks our Lord Jesus Christ, whom we Catholics believe is truly present under the form of bread and wine in the Holy Eucharist when it has been consecrated by a validly ordained priest.”

I have no intention of attending a black mass, but I assume it is intended to be a parody of itself. And it was a lie that they are "desecrating" anything.

^ Yup, right there with blasphemy.

I get brown masses in the backyard every day, there is no celebration.

Since Jesus is not enough, the Vatican has created a new more likable idol, oops, I meant mascot to draw some new sheep and its name is Luce

The mascot, named Luce — which means “light” in Italian — is intended to engage a younger audience and guide visitors through the holy year.

The mascot will debut this week at the Lucca Comics and Games, Italy’s celebrated convention for all things comics, video games, and fantasy, where the Vatican’s Dicastery for Evangelization will host a space dedicated to “Luce and Friends.”

Luce’s yellow sailor’s raincoat is a nod to both the Vatican flag and to journeying through life’s storms. The mascot’s muddy boots represent a long and difficult journey, while her staff symbolizes the pilgrimage toward eternity.

Legno, who admitted a lifelong love for Japanese pop culture, said he hopes that “Luce can represent the sentiments that resonate in the hearts of the younger generations.”

And if you think this thing looks like something that Catholic priests would grope, then you're not so far off.

This sounds like a Christian saint in the making.

A nurse suffering from schizophrenia who claimed that her colleagues at the hospital adhere to Satanism is not allowed to work in the healthcare sector anymore.

The case came to light when the woman handed in a disciplinary complaint in 2020, claiming that the doctors she worked with were threatening and assaulting patients.

This led to the inspectorate starting an investigation. She is said to have subsequently stated to the inspectorate that she had also tried to "pull plugs out of sockets because invisible wires had been installed to torture patients through those sockets". She is also said to have sometimes used "her gifts" to assess situations. For example, she is said to have sometimes known in advance when someone would have breathing problems or die.

The inspectorate did not investigate these comments further. There was no further fact-finding investigation into this by the inspectorate. However, due to her psychological problems, she is no longer allowed to work in healthcare.

Meanwhile, words from a "sane" Christian

The real-life ‘exorcist’ who investigates the unexplained

The Very Reverend Canon Dr Jason Bray is an Anglican priest and the Dean of Llandaff Cathedral.

He also happens to be a deliverance minister – more commonly known as an exorcist.

“We’re the people that go out and deal with the paranormal," said Dr Bray, who has spoken to BBC News about the work that he does.

"A bit like ghostbusting, that sort of thing, and a bit of an exorcist as well. Although, we don’t very often do the exorcism, certainly not of people."

“What I deal with is haunted houses, people who think that Auntie Brenda is lurking in the airing cupboard and she really shouldn’t be there,” said Dr Bray.

He said he also dealt with reports of poltergeist activity, which is the belief held by some people that a spirit or force can move furniture or throw objects around a house.

"Things go missing or things go bump in the night, or doors open. Or the TV turns itself on and off, that’s another thing we deal with – poltergeist activity.”

“We occasionally deal with people who come along and say ‘help me, I’m possessed’ so they’re looking for an exorcism,” he said.

“That’s one of the things we never do because the chances are, if you come and say ‘I’m possessed’, if something has taken over your entire being, your will, your entity, it’s not going to let you speak to your local vicar to say ‘throw me out, will you’.

He became interested in exorcism after moving into the curate’s house at his new ministry, Dr Bray said he and his wife noticed that the house was unusually cold, even in the summer.

“While we were there, our first child was born, Thomas, and we noticed that his room was actually colder and darker than the others. We thought that was a bit strange," he said.

The couple noticed a draft coming down the stairs, which they said appeared to be coming from nowhere.

Dr Bray said he then had a "frightening" experience in the middle of the night.

“I was standing at the bathroom door and it was like this sensation of knowing that there was somebody standing on the other side of the door,” he said.

“I felt really, really frightened.”

Dr Bray asked his boss, the local vicar, for help, who subsequently came to the house.

“The vicar came around and he said some prayers, some of them I think were in Latin,” he said.

“He splashed some holy water around the place, we said the Lord’s prayer together, and the house just returned to what it should have been. It was then warm, it was sunny – it was quite a pleasant place to be.”

Tucker Carlson says he was physically attacked by a demon in bed at night: “I had four claw marks on either side underneath my arms and on my left shoulder. And they’re bleeding.”

When asked if the demon attack happened “in the milieu of journalism,” former Fox News anchor told John Heers of the “Christianities?” YouTube channel, “No, in my bed at night and I got attacked while I was asleep with my wife and four dogs in the bed and mauled, physically mauled.”

“In a spiritual attack by a demon?” asks the interviewer. “Yeah, by a demon,” Carlson says.

So Iranian woman was arrested after she stripped partially naked on a university campus, and quickly afterwards a 4.2 earthquake hit Iran.

This reminded me of when, in 2010, Hojatoleslam Kazem Seddiqi, an Iranian cleric, announced that women dressing immodestly cause earthquakes. He even used the fear of divine wrath to threaten Iranian people with death "under the rubble" if they didn’t get on board with the theocratic policy of oppressing women.

So, no doubt, the Muslims in Iran think this quake was caused by a woman who rebelled against her oppression.
