Even though over 200,000 residents of the Oklahoma City area have signed petitions asking the government to not allow a “Satanic Mass” aimed to mock the Catholic church and Christianity from taking place in the public Civic Center Music Hall, the city is not relenting in allowing the Satanists to mock Christians.

The Archbishop of Oklahoma City has released a scathing indictment of city leaders for allowing the event to continue, saying that they do not understand the spiritual forces at work when events like the black mass take place.

“Even though our city leaders apparently do not take this threat seriously, I do. As a Catholic priest and bishop I have witnessed in my ministry the battle between forces of good and evil in both ordinary and extraordinary ways,” Archibishop Paul S. Coakley wrote.

“It is not merely a struggle rooted in human weakness and ignorance, though these are certainly the source of much suffering and mayhem in our lives and in our world. Demonic activity and the chaotic forces of evil are very real. The madness of war accompanied by increasingly brutal acts of terror, the violence in our schools and communities are all evidence that something is terribly wrong.”

The group is planning a series of events including a “satanic exorcism” where they have agreed to modify the procedure to use vinegar instead of urine to stay in compliance with health codes.  The action is to “pull the Holy Spirit” from the body of the subject.
