Luke 17:28-30 “Likewise as it was also in the days of Lot: They ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built” but on the day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all. Even so will it be in the day when the Son of Man is revealed.
The planned Satanic ceremony at Harvard University was canceled after an outcry from students and alumni.
The Harvard Extension Cultural Studies Club announced on Monday it would not hold the event because negotiations between themselves and the bar where it was scheduled broke down without an agreement. The Club says they were unable to find another suitable location.
The Club said the New York group Satanic Temple would still hold a mass because they wanted to “reaffirm their respect for the Satanic faith.”
The ceremonies held by the Satanic Temple are parodies of the rites of the Catholic Church.
Almost 400 Harvard students and over 100 alumni had signed a petition opposing the event being held on the campus.
“This form of satanic worship not only ridicules the central practice of Catholicism, the Mass, but it also mocks and offends all who have faith in Christ,” the petition reads. “Far from being an event that promotes an understanding of “cultural practices,” it, in fact, promotes contempt for the Catholic faith and religion generally. We are Catholics, other Christians, and supporters of genuine tolerance and civility, and we are offended and outraged this event has been permitted to take place at Harvard.”
The key here (besides the active prayers of many Christian groups across the country!!!) was the alumni. Universities actively go after their alumni for support of their various programs. I imagine the list of 100 alumni contained names of many significant donors, and economic reality set in!!!. Blessed be God for hearing the prayers of the faithful of all religions who opposed this, and to the alumni and students that were willing to put their name on the petitions that helped bring an end to this particular offense on the part of Harvard.
