Well then you're in luck, because Baphomet is not Satan. Baphomet, in the form the statue depicts, is the Sabbatic Goat, which is a figure that has no relation at all to any biblical figure.
Not all horned goat-men are Satan, CL:
Look out, it's the prince of lies!
You really have to expect that Catholic priests are going to mate with goats and stuff when they commit themselves to "celibacy." When with the goat-men not be blamed for what their fathers did?
