I don't think they should include pictures and the oath to devil.
Yes, delete those pictures and delete the oath.

It seems clear that we are reaching the final stage of the revolutionary process, which is the step where man openly worships the Devil. The hippy revolution was a remote preparation for the reign of the Devil. It broke the final barriers of Christian Civilization, throwing out all restraints and the good customs so that man would enter a stage of new barbarianism, a new paganism, an order of things – I cannot call it a civilization – whose head is no longer Christ but the Devil himself.

When I use the expression the reign of the Devil, someone can object that these words are too strong. Twenty five years ago, when I first heard them in a talk by Prof. Plinio, who was explaining where the revolutionary process would end, the very concept seemed implausible to me. I thought: No one with good sense or religious spirit would stand for such a thing.

Today, I see that his prediction was true. More and more the Devil presents himself openly and asks to be adored. More and more ambiences, ways of being and dressing, dances and music are Satanic. And in the atmosphere of incoherence, indifference and contradiction that we inhale today, almost no one is shocked by things that would have caused extreme consternation in society even two decades ago.

Let me offer some examples to demonstrate the point.

Open worship of the Devil in Detroit

Not only is the Satanic Temple growing in all segments of society, and especially among the youth, but on July 27, 2015, its Detroit chapter had the audacity to unveil a 9-foot, 2,000- pound bronze statue of Baphomet, a goat-headed demon, for public worship in a rented warehouse.

Satanic Temple officials delivered speeches and a pair of shirtless men held candles on either side of the statue prior to its unveiling. Hundreds were in attendance, crying out “Hail, Satan!” as the curtain was lifted just before midnight. Then, the two shirtless men kissed each other in front of Satan. Statues of a smiling boy and girl in poses of adoration are on either side of the Devil, who reigns from a throne.

Meanwhile, at the event, the 700 who had tickets to enter were washed in red light shining down from the rafters as dark punk bands played from a stage set up under a lighted, upside-down crucifix. In front of the stage was a sign with the words “This is my body, this is my blood,” in a blasphemous referrence to the words of the Transubstantiation It is shocking, but there really is nothing new here. It repeats the dark Satanic theatrics and props used in so many rock concerts that attract millions (and not just the youth!) every year...

To keep “Christians” out, all present were required to sign a docuмent where they agreed to deliver their soul to the Devil:

“I agree that by signing this docuмent under any name, given or adopted, actual or pseudonymous, I am hereby avowing my soul to Satan (aka Abbadon, aka Lucifer, aka Beelzebub, aka The Antichrist) ...

“I do so knowing that He (aka The Fallen One, aka The Father of Lies) or any of his representatives may choose to collect my eternal soul at any time, with or without notice. I understand that my signature or mark representing any name, real or made up, upon these papers constitutes a lasting and eternal contract, and that there will be no further negotiations on the matter of my eternal soul.” (Original here)

Seven hundred souls – in jest or in all seriousness – willingly gave their souls over to Satan, laughing and dancing as they accept damnation as their eternal destiny. The Satanic Temple’s plan for the statue is to place it, on the claim of religious liberty, next to a Ten Commandments statue on the Oklahoma statehouse grounds.

Who could imagine that such an open demonstration of welcome for Satan could take place with a minimum of protest? There were some protesters, about 50 of them and mostly Protestant, at another site (no one was told where the unveiling would take place precisely to avoid commotion) praying for the city and denouncing the monument. A meek response to such an enormous evil.

The dominant media treated the event as a joke, an amusing story. The Archdiocese of Detroit declined to comment on the unveiling of Baphomet or the Satanic Temple. Nor should we expect any strong statement from the American Bishops denouncing the growing public expressions of Satanism. After all, following the new doctrine of Vatican II, every “faith” – including Satanism – has a right to freely express itself in the name of religious liberty.

If the public unveiling of the statue of Baphomet and the indifferent reaction is not a sign we are at the eve of the day where Satan could appear and be publicly adored by his followers, then I do not know what is.

Lucifer in the city of the Angels

We find another indication of the modern world's complaisance with the Devil in a more subtle sign of welcome. In the line-up for this FOX-TV’s new programs this season is a series titled Lucifer.

To many persons nowadays, who are accustomed to vampires, witches and other occult themes, the plot will seem mild indeed. Bored with Hell, the fallen angel Lucifer Morningstar decides to leave his kingdom and comes to Los Angeles to enjoy the good life of fast cars, women and luxurious living.

FOX presents a likeable Lucifer who can still be redeemed



After a while, he comes under the influence of a lawyer (lady, of course) who is oblivious to his powers. Why is this? Not because she is Catholic and follows the Ten Commandments, but simply because she is committed to social justice issues. It is the new type of “good person,” who, sad to say, the Conciliar Church also approves.

Finally, another devil named Amenadiel is sent from Hell to demand the return of its lord to the underworld. And so we have the big question: is the Devil redeemable and will he return to the world of Evil or he is good and should stay with us? It is a theme that would absolutely delight von Balthasar and his disciples John Paul II and Benedict XVI. The Devil freed from Hell because of a call of the “good.” Another conciliar theme set in a Hollywood script.

My reader may ask, "What is so wrong with this?"

Such programs move the tendencies of man to accept a new version of the Devil, a more palatable creature, who does not need to be rejected. In the back of minds is planted the idea that the “old way” of seeing the Devil is outdated and wrong; the new way reveals a reformation possible even for Lucifer, who is not such a bad fellow after all. All this is done in the name of humor and tolerance.

While the unveiling of Baphomet by the Satanic Temple is blatantly blasphemous and horrendous, the introduction of programs like Lucifer is a more subtle and insidious way to infiltrate the minds of man with an acceptance for the Devil and his reign. In my view, it is actually more dangerous, because once a man has entered this pathway, he is on the straight and easy way to acceptance of open Satanism in society.

The source website (The Daily Banter) has had (at least?) two other related articles in the past two years.  

The first one was in December 2013, when the topic of making plans for a contrasting theme, to provide balance to the display of the 10 Commandments, was put into print.  It went like this:

Quote of the Day: Oklahoma,
Where Satan Comes Sweeping Down the Plain

Chez Pazienza on December 09, 2013


FILED TO: Society and Culture

“The Satanic Temple, an established New York City-based religious organization, has offered to donate a public monument to Oklahoma’s Capitol Preservation Commission for display upon Oklahoma City’s capitol grounds. Described as an ‘homage’ to Satan, the purpose of the monument is to complement and contrast the Ten Commandments monument that already resides on the North side of the building. The donation offer has been submitted and is currently awaiting the commission’s reply.”

— From a statement released by the Satanic Temple, which has now filed the necessary paperwork with the state of Oklahoma to erect a monument next to the 10 Commandments monument on the statehouse grounds

The important thing to keep in mind whenever you hear people raging against the exclusion of prayer in schools or religious symbolism within government institutions is this: they’re only angry that Christianity is being given the short-shrift. I’m not divulging state secrets here by saying that when it’s, for example, an Islamic temple that wants protection or special dispensation by the law, the usual aggrieved parties fighting to blur the line between religion and the government are nowhere to be found. This is what they don’t understand: that when you screw with the division between church and state, an obvious byproduct is that you don’t just open the door to one religion in the public sphere — you open the door to all of them, even those you think are leading people down the path to hell.

Which brings us back to possibly the greatest organized ongoing troll campaign in existence, the Satanic Temple. Their plan, in keeping with legislation passed in 2009 that allowed for the Christian memorial, is to create a monument to Satan and put it within spitting distance of the infamously misspelled 10 Commandments rock on the Capitol steps. Technically, if the state doesn’t approve the Satanic monument, which may include an interactive display — you know, for kids — it’ll have shot holes in its own legislation. I’m not sure any of that will matter, though; they’ll figure out a way to deny the Satanists their counterpart memorial, hypocrisy be damned. This is, after all, Oklahoma we’re talking about. Stay tuned, I guess.

By the way, the teachings of Anton LaVey sound quite a bit like those of Ayn Rand, with Satanism really being nothing more than objectivism in its purest form and taken to its logical conclusion. Take LaVey’s work, throw in a little more aristocratic self-pity and laughably pompous and overindulgent sermonizing and, surprise, you’ve got Rand’s entire oeuvre. Although LaVey was cuddlier.

The second article[/url]]Here’s the Entire “Satanic Children’s Big Book of Activities” To Make Your Day

Chez Pazienza on September 17, 2014




Yesterday we told you about a plan by the Satanic Temple to pass out materials to Orange County, Florida students in response to a local Christian group that’s been allowed to do the same. For the uninitiated, the Satanic Temple is quite possibly the greatest ongoing troll campaign in the contiguous 48, constantly throwing conservative Christian hypocrisy back in the face of anyone who willfully lobbies to violate the separation of church and state. If Christians place, say, a garish stone monument to the Ten Commandments on the steps of the Oklahoma state capitol building, there will be the Satanic Temple, immediately constructing a giant goat-headed Baphomet statue to put right next to it. The message: you choose to bring your religion into a public space, violating the Constitution, then we get to bring ours.

The thing is, telling you about “The Satanic Children’s Big Book of Activities” isn’t nearly as much fun as showing it to you. And so, if you want to download it for yourself so that you and your family can play and learn, here’s the link to it.

This is what you’ll get:
