In May, conservative Catholics mobilized in response to an announcement of a Satanic black mass to be held at Harvard University. The black mass was cancelled and 1500 Catholics marched on Harvard Square. Conservatives have constructed a narrative of the event as a righteous defeat of the forces of evil. The opportunity to mobilize against self-described Satanists creates a kind of collective effervescence and its energy has already begun to transfer to other conservative causes. After decrying the black mass, Aletiea’s exorcist went on to condemn atheism, abortion, and gay marriage. [link]
