Catholics and others showed up to pray and protest an event in which mask-clad self-professed satanists drew upside down crosses on the foreheads of participants and chanted ‘Hail Satan.’
TYLER, Texas (LifeSiteNews) — Local Catholics led by Bishop Joseph Strickland were among other Christians who came out to protest and pray in opposition to a Texas Pagan Pride Festival last weekend during which self-professed Satanists performed “unbaptism” ceremonies.
The Satanic Temple (TST) of Dallas-Fort Worth performed the “unbaptism” ceremonies on Saturday at the Pagan Pride Fest in the downtown square of Tyler, Texas, according to independent reporter Tayler Hansen.
Hansen posted a series of video clips to Twitter from his on-the-ground reporting at the event, including footage of the “ceremonies” taking place. In one of the videos, mask-clad self-professed satanists drew upside down crosses on the foreheads of participants and chanted “Hail Satan.”
People who participated in the event were reportedly given the opportunity to take home a certificate memorializing the ceremony for a $10 price tag.
