Harvard To Host Satanic Mass

[Jaime]

A Harvard University student club set to host a satanic black mass reenactment to celebrate witchcraft and satanic worship announced on its website that it will not use a consecrated host during the event.

The Harvard Extension Cultural Studies Club has organized a May 12 black mass reenactment at the Queen's Head Pub, which is on campus. The announcement has drawn criticism because these masses typically mock Catholic teachings, MyFoxBoston.com reported.

"Our purpose is not to denigrate any religion or faith, which would be repugnant to our educational purposes, but instead learn and experience the history of different cultural practices," the club's statement said. The statement went on to say that the mass will use a piece of bread but will “unequivocally” not use a consecrated host. 

The performance will be conducted by The Satanic Temple, a group known to stir up controversy.

The Archdiocese of Boston fired back with this response, "The Catholic community in the Archdiocese of Boston expresses its deep sadness and strong opposition to the plan to stage a black mass on the campus of Harvard University in Cambridge."

"In a recent statement, Pope Francis warned of the danger of being naïve about or underestimating the power of Satan, whose evil is too often tragically present in our midst. We call upon all believers and people of good will to join us in prayer for those who are involved in this event, that they may come to appreciate the gravity of their actions, and in asking Harvard to disassociate itself from this activity," the statement said.

The Harvard Extension School says the school "Does not endorse the views or activities of any independent student organization. But we do support the rights of our students and faculty to speak and assemble freely."

ugh. ashamed.

my only comfort is its the extension school. university's weird and wacky stepsister. I mean they are all off the rails but extension is especially.

on the other hand if I had to guess it was probably kids from the college who gave them the idea.

also i just assume HBS has been having regularly scheduled black masses for centuries.

they also recently let a professor go because she made a ruckus about a sexual assault.

go Harvard, beat Fale.

What is the point of having religious services whose sole intention is to mock someone else's?  Why would you want some other religion to define you?  The Satanic Temple is ridiculous.

I wonder if it's any coincidence Diddy is coming to speak at graduation...

[Lilllabettt]

the commencement speaker this year is Michael Bloomberg.

I think you mean Howard university

honestly as far as Bloomberg is concerned at this point I would prefer P.Diddy

He spoke at my graduation.  He gave a really uninteresting and long-winded speech.  

 

 

Bloomberg, I mean.  Not Puff Daddy

Indeed.

 

Just because you can doesn't mean you should. But I suppose one must celebrate that one can.

"Any [i][color=#ff0000]beesh[/color][/i] n**** with a gun, can bust slugs

Any n**** with a red shirt can front like a blood
Even Puffy smoked the fluppery mupper up in a club
But only a real thug can stab someone till they die
Standing in front of them, staring straight into their eyes"
