Call to ‘Intense’ Prayer: Archdiocese of Boston Responds to Satanic Temple’s Convention

[Michie]

The Archdiocese of Boston is responding to the Satanic Temple’s “SatanCon” event in Boston with scheduled eucharistic adoration, Catholic devotions, and “intense prayer.”

“At the direction of the cardinal [Sean O’Malley], we are approaching it through a response balanced and focused on prayer,” archdiocesan spokesman Terrence Donilon told CNA April 17.

“SatanCon,” as the Satanic Temple calls the event, is sold out and is being held from Friday to Sunday, April 28–30, at the Boston Marriott Copley Place to celebrate the organization’s history and values.

The Satanic Temple, which, according to its website, denies the existence of God and Satan, is a political activist group known for protesting religious symbolism in public spaces and mocking Christianity by offering “unbaptism” and hosting “black masses.”

[Ave Maria]

This is so incredibly sad that the Satanic groups are at this again. We definitely need to engage in intense prayer, as the Archdiocese of Boston has requested. I live in a completely different diocese, but I would encourage Catholics worldwide to pray in reparation for this, even though it is occurring in the Archdiocese of Boston.

Fast and pray. They'll be defeated.
