A group of self -written Satanists plan to organize a “black mass” within the Capitol of the state of Kansas, Despite the recent attempts of the governor and a group of bipartisan legislators to block it.
The satanic grotto, a non -profit organization registered that describes itself as an “independent and non -confessional satanic church”, is intended to celebrate its manifestation in the State Capitol on March 28. According to the founder Michael Stewart, the event initially attracted little attention, until the accusations arose that the bread of a local Catholic Church was stolen for use in the “black mass.”
The governor of Kansas, Laura Kelly, a Democrat, issued an order on March 12, which prohibits the satanic grotto entering the House of Representatives for her manifestation planned on March 28. This order was subsequently followed by a modification of the construction and land policies of the State Representatives Chamber, led by a group of bipartisan state legislators.

“There are more constructive ways of protesting and expressing disagreements without insulting or denigrating sacred religious symbols “ Kelly said in an announcement about the “Black Mass” event of the satanic grotto.
In Satanist traditions, a “black mass” ceremony sometimes implies the desecration of the consecrated Eucharist, as the Monsignor Roger J. Landry, a priest of the Diocese of Fall River, Massachusetts, told online, in 2014 of the black Mass of the Catholic Catholic, and has the website of the satanic tempeine of New York. The consecrated host are “corrupted by sexual fluids” during the ritual.

A demand filed by the bishop of the Archdiocese of Kansas City, Joseph Naumann, claimed that Stewart admitted in social networks To steal the consecrated Eucharist. The lawsuit also claimed that the members of the satanic grotto sent threatening letters to the legislators.
“The first amendment does not protect criminal behavior,” the president of the Senate, Ty Masterson, He told Kansas’s reflector this week. “The recent statements of an organization, which promised to participate in this conduct, required a reflexive review of the policies to guarantee the safety of all those who visit our state capitol.”
Stewart, in an interview with Fox News Digital, did not deny the accusations that he was the owner of a social media account that he admitted to having taken the host. Stewart said that while he and his group may have sent rude letters to legislators in the past, none of them threatened. A probative hearing in the case took place on Thursday, and was finally dismissed after Stewart denied the accusations, he said.

Stewart promised to proceed with his demonstration in the Capitol on March 28, despite the orders that try to block it, even if he leads to his arrest. He hopes that he joins two other or three members of the satanic grotto, but has urged non -affiliated supporters seeking to face public officials or APPLICATION OF THE LAW To be left behind.
“It has emerged a lot lately that we are going to assault the Capitol. And because (critics) see that one of our specific laws of the cave speaks of violence, that we are a violent organization. None of those things is true,” said Stewart. “We go to the Capitol in a non -violent way. This is not going to be on January 6. This will be a civil rights law of the 1960s. We will not literally launch fecal matter on the walls.”

Stewart said that the idea of the demonstration of “black mass” in Topeka was derived from the group that wanted to “build a church that coincides with how Kansans define Satanism.”
“Part of that is activism,” said Stewart. “We begin to follow different groups and counterprotets, and inevitably all ended in the Capitol, in one way or another.”
However, Stewart said, the groups use their first Amendment rights When protesting in the Capitol, mostly all Christian groups “held images of mutilated babies inside our Capitol, holding sentences, with praise and worship sessions, very openly, very bold, constantly.

“Rarely, if ever, I have seen someone else do something. And it occurred to me, I realized: ‘Man, these guys are the only ones who take advantage of your rights’ “.
Kelly’s office declined to comment on the situation when he was contacted to comment, pointing to Fox News Digital to a March 12 statement about the event.
