The only thing I can tell you is that the rituals Satanists use are taken verbatim
from the Roman Catholic
mass, but as I said, turned upside down and inside out...so you have a mass, replete
with high priest offering
a host, etc. This is why you find Satanists breaking into churches -- usually
Catholic -- and consecrated
graveyards, to steal religious objects, especially items used in conducting mass. And
just as in Roman
Catholicism the priest is considered a necessary intecessor between the worshiper and
God, so too in Satanism
one needs a priest to act as intecessor between the worshiper and Satan...
This is only one of many differences between Satanism and pagan/Wiccan religions; in
the latter religions,
while a priest and/or priestess is often used in rituals, their role is one of
facilitator, and never is the
claim made that one can only reach the diety of choice via the priest or priestess,
rather it is stressed that
each and every worshiper has the ability to contact the divine on their own (albeit
usually via some
ritualistic process)...

CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list. Proselytizing propagandic
screeds are unwelcomed. Substance—not soap-boxing—please! These are
sordid matters and 'conspiracy theory'—with its many half-truths, mis-
directions and outright frauds—is used politically by different groups with
major and minor effects spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought.
That being said, CTRLgives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and
always suggests to readers; be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no
credence to Holocaust denial and nazi's need not apply.
Let us please be civil and as always, Caveat Lector.
