(LifeSiteNews) — A “black mass” is planned to dedicate the Kansas legislature “to the glory of Satan” inside the state capitol on March 28.
“We will be performing rites to the Black Mass and indulging in sacrilegious blaspheme (sic),” The Satanic Grotto wrote on a Facebook event page. “God will fall and Kansas will be embraced by the black flame of Lucifer.”
Michael Stewart, a leader of the independent satanic group, posted to the event page a copy of a letter from the Kansas Capitol Events Coordinator addressed to him, stating, “Your request for the Satanic Grotto is approved. The Capitol Dedication to Satan will be held on Friday, March 28, 2025, from 10 a.m. — 2 p.m. in the SH 1st floor Rotunda at the NE Quad.”
State Senator Stephen Owens condemned the event in a statement as “hideous and terrible” but asserted that it must be allowed to take place as a first amendment right.
“Religious groups from various backgrounds come to the Capitol on a regular basis to preach, pray, and display. We cannot discriminate because we disagree,” wrote Owens, espousing an ideal of religious liberty that is ultimately masonic and anti-Catholic.
Black masses mock the Catholic Sacrifice of the Mass and often involve the desecration of a consecrated host — the Eucharist — that Catholics understand to be the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ. One satanic group admitted in 2019 to defiling the Eucharist during a black mass, boasting, “the consecrated host was defiled, destroyed, and swept into the trash where it belongs.”
Consecrated hosts must be stolen from a Catholic Church, and such theft is made significantly easier by widespread reception of Holy Communion in the hand, as opposed to kneeling and receiving on the tongue.
The Kansas Catholic Conference of Bishops issued a statement on Thursday decrying the planned sacrilegious “mass” and announcing that they are exploring “spiritual and legal responses” to the event.
