Over 37,000 people especially Catholics have signed a petition against a planned satanic black mass in Oklahoma City.
The Catholic archbishop of the city is also protesting against the mass by Satanists.
play "The black mass is an attempt to rip God out of the fabric of our nation. That's why more and more people are joining the protest," said John Ritchie, the Student Action Director for the American Society for the Defense of Tradition, Family and Property (TFP).
"The sole purpose of the black mass is to attack God, the Catholic Mass and the Holy Eucharist in a most obscene, indecent and hateful manner. Satanists typically steal a consecrated host from a church to desecrate in unspeakable ways."
Reports say the black mass is due to take place on September 21, at the city’s the local civic center and organised by by local Oklahoma City satanist Adam Daniels, who says he is the high priest of a local satanic group.
However, Daniels explained that a satanic mass contains similar themes to a Catholic mass, but participants worship Satan instead of God.
A petition against the mass by TFP has been signed by 37,877 people, and has a goal of 50,000 signatures.
"With my whole heart and soul, I express full, complete and vehement rejection of the satanic 'black mass' scheduled at the Oklahoma City Civic Centre on Sept. 21. I urge you to cancel this event which offends 1 billion Catholics worldwide, 200,000 Catholics in Oklahoma and countless more God-loving Americans. Sacrilege is simply NOT free speech," the petition reads, addressed to Stephen Sharpe of the Oklahoma City Civic Centre, Mayor Mick Cornett and Governor Mary Fallin.
Paul Coakley, archbishop of Oklahoma City, has also urged city organizers to intervene and stop the black mass from taking place.
"We're astonished and grieved that the civic centre would promote as entertainment and sell tickets for an event that is very transparently a blasphemous mockery of the mass," Coakley said in a statement.
"The 'black mass' that is scheduled for the civic centre in September is a satanic inversion and distortion of the most sacred beliefs, not only of Catholics, but of all Christians."
