(00:00):
Imagine, if you will, a kind of hidden history flowing just
beneath the surface of the institutions we, well, we often
take for granted. A dark current, maybe of secret
societies, ancient rituals and some deeply unsettling
allegations. Today, in this deep dive, we're
pulling back the curtain on claims that are so provocative,
(00:20):
they really challenge our understanding of faith, power,
and, well, the very nature of what some people might call evil
itself. That's right, our subject today
is truly intense. We're plunging into excerpts
from a book called Lucifer's Lodge, Satanic Ritual Abuse in
the Catholic Church. And this is not a light read,
not by any stretch of the imagination.
It gives a really unfrenching look at claims ranging from, you
(00:41):
know, white for child abuse cover ups all the way to the
alleged infiltration of major institutions by occult
practices. So our mission today, like
always, is to really unpack the extraordinary claims that are
presented in this source material.
We're not here to endorse them or refute them, but just to
understand precisely what this author is alleging.
(01:02):
We'll explore the historical threads the book tries to weave
together, the psychological theories it puts forward, and
the the specific cases detailed within its pages.
The goal here is to allow you, the listener, to grasp the full
scope of this pretty disturbing narrative.
It's about being informed, even when the information is,
frankly, deeply uncomfortable. Absolutely.
And just to be clear, we're working with a single
(01:24):
comprehensive source today. That means we'll be following
its narrative and its details very, very closely.
It's dense, it's full of shocking specific claims, and
our job is really to navigate itfor you, trying to provide some
context and clarity on just whatthe assertions are within this
text. OK, let's start unpacking this
then the author. He begins by introducing a
concept he calls Satanic apologetics.
(01:47):
This is, as he describes it, an attempt, often by people
involved in occult interests or you know, self identified
Satanists, to refute criticisms that their beliefs are
inherently Satanic or Luciferian.
What's interesting right off thebat is how the book presents
these two contrasting views of Satanism.
On one hand, you've got the common interpretation,
particularly from groups like, say, the Church of Satan.
(02:09):
Now, this view, he often notes, is largely atheistic, sort of
relegates Satan to an archetype representing intellectual
rebellion and self empowerment. And these apologists, as he
calls them, often actively try to debunk notions of human or
animal sacrifice or even Satanicritual abuse, SRA arguing that,
well, those practices just aren't part of their philosophy.
Right. So on the other hand, the author
(02:31):
directly counters this this modern interpretation.
He asserts that ancient traditions, which you know,
would most certainly be perceived as satanic today, did
in fact include human and animalsacrifice.
He points to things like hundreds of murders annually in
Africa for traditional gods, countless animal sacrifices, and
practices like vudon and Santeria.
(02:53):
And he claims these practices involve worshipping, in his
words, demonic beings, regardless of how the
participants might label themselves.
And this then leads us into the author's claims about the origin
of sex magic, what he calls abominations.
The text claims that these sex magic rites and sexual
aberrations have been part of certain occult sciences right
(03:14):
from their inception. He points to practices of
priests in ancient places like Babylon, Egypt, Greece, Rome,
India, alleging that these all involved sex rituals along with
many other cultures. It's interesting the contrast
the author draws here, though. He presents Judaism,
Christianity, Confucianism, Buddhism, Islam, Taoism.
He calls them a comparatively small minority of religious
(03:35):
traditions in the ancient world that didn't overtly include
human sacrifice or or sacred sex.
The Old Testament he knows really highlights this desperate
struggle of Israelite priest trying to keep their people pure
of the religious taint of the heathen gods, especially, you
know, when sons of Israel made wives or concubines of the women
of heathen nations. Even King Solomon, for all his
(03:55):
wisdom, is noted for, well, dabbling in magic and having
this exceptionally large harem of foreign women.
Yeah, and the author claims thatthe sex practices of these
ancient cults rarely stayed within what we'd consider
acceptable by modern standards. He listings like homosexuality,
bestiality, incest, group orgiesis common, he asserts.
There were certainly no age restriction on the participants
(04:18):
nor any requirement that the participants be consenting.
Rape, the author alleges, was common.
Even murder of the victim. Infanticide or abortion, the
text claims, were not uncommon ends for children born from
these unions. Those some children, he adds,
were apparently raised with privileges as divine offspring
of whatever God the ceremony wasdedicated to.
(04:38):
OK, here's where the author makes a really striking
connection. I think he links this tradition
of sex magic directly to the myth of mating between gods and
humans, specifically citing the sons of God and daughters of men
from Genesis 6. Right.
The book elaborates on this using things like the Book of
Enoch and other apocryphal texts.
These sons of God are identifiedas the watchers described as
(04:58):
fallen angels. The Book of Enoch paints them as
being just consumed with lust when they saw human women.
He asserts these Watchers or Nephilim had a quote much higher
level of sexual potency than humans and taught human females
how to enjoy multiple orgasms. And the consequences?
According to this narrative for Pretty Dire, the watchers were
(05:19):
accused by God of teaching womensexual abominations, introducing
makeup, jewelry for seduction. This allegedly led to widespread
promiscuity fornication, forcingGod to bring about the flood.
The author also tries to link this belief system to the angels
visiting lot in Sodom, suggesting that the inhabitants
desire to sodomize the angels was actually inspired by the
(05:40):
angels. So Fast forward to the present
day. The author claims that these sex
mysteries are still embedded within the rights of witchcraft,
Satanism, certain Gnostic sex and secret orders.
He mentions groups like the OrdoTemplate Orientis, the OTO, and
the Dragon Order. The core concept, according to
the text, is basically the same,the union of man and woman
mimicking intercourse with divine beings.
(06:03):
He alleges the repertoire includes, quote, every sexual
act imaginable, homosexuality, bestiality, incest, pedophilia,
sadomasochism, all supposedly having value within the rights
of sex magic. So what's the motivation behind
these these sexual abominations and occult rituals?
According to the author? Why do them?
One reason he claims is this belief that Lucifer's fall, the
(06:25):
deluge, even the curse itself, we're all precipitated by such
an abomination, specifically theinterracial mating of gods and
men. So this is then re enacted in
sex magic as a kind of sacred act aiming supposedly for a semi
divine race. And the other concludes that any
child forced to participate or even just witness these rights
might feel, upon reflection, that he has been a victim of
(06:45):
satanic ritual abuse. OK, and all of this seems to tie
into the author's larger claim, right?
This idea of a conspiracy for world domination.
Yeah, he states pretty clearly that evidence points to a
concerted effort for world domination, what modern
conspiracy theories often call the New World Order plot.
And he alliances perfectly with the traditional idea of Satan as
(07:09):
the Prince of this world. And again, the author notes this
is something the Satanic apologists deny.
They claim Satanists don't seek power, just, you know, freedom
for all mankind. Or, they argue, a huge
conspiracy couldn't possibly be kept secret, or that Satanists
are just rebellious teenagers. But the author directly counters
this. He states that quote texts
published and embraced by Satanists actually reveal a
(07:32):
value placed on the possession of worldly power and contain and
allusions to a global Luciferianempire.
He does acknowledge that most ofthe personal testimonials
floating around today by those who have supposedly seen an
action, the Satanic Illuminati that controls the world, are
indeed questionable. But he asserts the overall
notion of the Satanic conspiracymost likely is not.
(07:53):
He goes on to claim that it is well known that many powerful
people, both today and throughout history, have been
members of a cult, secret societies practicing Luciferian
traditions believed by them to derive from fallen angels.
These groups, the author alleges, appear to embrace a
long term plan for the restructuring of the world's
institutions along the lines of their own religious ideals,
(08:15):
ideals that are, at bottom, Luciferian.
And what's particularly chillingis his assertion that the world
they seem to be creating shockingly resembles the
biblical description of the Antichrist Kingdom.
The ultimate goal, as he presents it, is to put
descendants of a Luciferian bloodline, people who believe
they're descended from fallen angels, in control of a global
government. Wow.
(08:35):
OK, so if that's the supposed ultimate goal, then a necessary
element for building this Antichrist Kingdom would be,
well, creating a Satanic church and converting the world to a
Satanic religion. But the author claims they
wouldn't want to start a new church like Anton Lavey did.
Instead, the strategy would be to infiltrate and exercise
(08:55):
control from within a church that is already in existence and
that has already solidified its power base globally.
And no church, the author argues, fits this description
more perfectly than the CatholicChurch.
He references Malachi Martin, who in his book Windswept House
claimed that forces with world domination as their goal had
already made deep inroads into Roman Catholicism.
(09:16):
Right. And this brings brings us to a
really provocative interpretation.
The author puts forward St. John's Revelations chapter 17,
the description of the great whore that sitteth upon many
waters, her fornication with kings of the earth, dressed in
purple and scarlet, with MysteryBabylon the Great, the mother of
harlots and abominations of the earth, written on her forehead,
(09:37):
drunken with the blood of the Saints.
The author presents this as a direct prophecy that's relevant
to the Catholic Church today. So how do priests get involved
in Satanism? According to this book, the
author suggests 2 main paths. Some priests, he claims, join as
part of this overarching conspiracy, just part of the
plan. Others though, might originally
join as devout Catholics, but then later get involved after
(09:59):
maybe their faith falters or they develop a fascination with
the occult. Then, upon confessing this to a
fellow priest, specifically a priest with alleged Satanic
connections, they might be invited to join one of these
secret cults that many believe are operating within the
Catholic priesthood. The text suggests a particular
vulnerability for priests here. They perform rituals daily,
(10:20):
right? So they might be tempted to try
and manipulate the powers of demons in the same way they
believe they manipulate angels or God.
And those involved in exorcism are described as particularly
vulnerable, having supposedly seen the power and reality of
demons first hand. This could lead some, the author
suggests, to wonder what it might be like to use that power
for their own desires. So the author paints a pretty
(10:43):
grim picture of the current state as he sees it.
Satanism is like a dark cloud overshadowing the church,
overwhelming it with its power and taking control.
Meanwhile, he claims Satanic apologists and includes church
spokesman in this are working overtime to deny Satan or any
conspiracy, urging people to just ignore the sulfurous odor
(11:03):
that lingers around the current church child abuse charges.
This attitude, the author warns,could potentially allow Satan to
take control of the papacy itself.
Malachi Martin's claims are really central here, aren't
they? The author recounts Martin
having solid information that Boston's Cardinal Bernard Law
was actually complicit in the operation of a ring of pedophile
priests, some of whom were practicing Satanists.
(11:26):
Vatican sources apparently told Martin about a major cover up
happening in Boston involving paying victims for silence using
intimidation tactics. Martin also claimed to have
received letters from actual devil worshipping Catholic
priests. He and his colleague, Father
Charles Fiore, were apparently trying to gather a central list
of these offending clerics and the superiors who were
(11:47):
complicit. And the author admits at first
he was extremely skeptical of Martin's suggestions.
You remember the philosopher John Humes dictum?
You know, an extraordinary claimrequires extraordinary evidence.
He believed the church redid these people out and thought
Martin was just receiving hoaxesbasically.
But then something caused a pretty significant shift in
perspective for the author. After Martin died in 1999, the
(12:10):
author initially thought the whole thing was, well, dead.
But then, after January 2002, when the Boston Globe reports
broke the ones leading to cardinal laws, forced
resignation, Bishop Dupree's resignation and criminal
charges, the author attended protests, met victims who
actually confirmed Martin's picture of things he heard about
a black room or devil's room in Catholic boys homes in Boston
(12:32):
and Ireland, noting this networkof these ad hoc ritual chambers
supposedly used by Catholic priests all over the world.
This, he says, was very hard to assimilate.
Yeah, it was apparently after more and more cases of what can
only be described as Satanic ritual abuse emerged and the
complicity of the church hierarchy made it a full blown
cabal, that the author decided to write this book focusing
(12:54):
specifically on Catholic SRA cases that came to light after
2002, mentioning the Boston Archdiocese, Father Sean
Fortune, the murder of Father Alfred Coons, and brainwashing
techniques. The book does take care, though,
to make a crucial distinction. It clarifies that most modern
Satanists are what he calls harmless Satanists, often
deriving from Anton Lavey's Church of Satan people who harm
(13:16):
no one and should be free to practice their religion.
The book's focus, he stresses, is only on priests of the Church
of Rome who have brought together elements of Satanism
and Catholicism in the rape of women and children.
These are the individuals the author refers to as Satanists
and Luciferians in this specificcontext.
Right. The author specifies that these
particular priests invoke Satan's name in magical hexes
(13:39):
and offer sex actions of Luciferand invert Christian rights with
perverted sex rituals. The book is described pretty
bluntly as not for the faint hearted.
It details what he claims is a real world of devil worship and
arcane sexual rites practiced bypriests of the Church of Rome
who have formed their own Lucifer's Lodge.
OK, let's pivot now. Let's talk about the phenomenon
(14:00):
known as the Satanic Panic. The author defines this,
especially early on, as an irrational and unfounded belief
in a widespread devil worshipping conspiracy involved
in abusing unwilling victims. He labels it a current day witch
hunt that really proliferated inthe 1980s and 90s and LED to
convictions of apparently innocent people like childcare
(14:23):
workers, even a policeman. And the media's role, according
to the author, was pretty significant in all this popular
media figures he mentions. Geraldo Rivera, Oprah Winfrey
actively promoted the hype in Hysteria.
They featured these fantastical stories of physical and sexual
maltreatment, human sacrifice, bizarre ceremonies supposedly
offered to Lucifer, occult police detectives the author
(14:44):
claims were spinning yarns aboutan organized conspiracy
targeting youth through things like heavy metal, music and
drugs. He links this whole panic to the
neoconservative milieu of the 70s and 80s, mentioning figures
like Jerry Falwell, the Reagan era at the 700 Club, evangelical
ministers like Pat Robertson andBob Larson, who he says
especially pushed the idea of this devil worshipping, cult
abusing children. And this is where the concept of
(15:06):
false memory syndrome becomes really critical.
In the book's analysis, it states that most of these
stories were pure fiction. These detailed narratives, the
text claims, were often merely planted into the victim's memory
by the counselors through thingslike subtle suggestions, body
language, tone of voice, and just leading questions.
(15:26):
Victims, he alleges, often sought to please the therapist
by answering in ways that seemedappealing.
Yeah, the author describes how answers that did not fit it.
The counselors preconceived theory prompted the accusation
of being in denial and the quote.
The victim was then treated withcontempt until he or she
answered correctly. He highlights how vulnerable
children are, stating that giventheir dependency on adult
(15:47):
authority figures, it's no wonder that a very young child
can be programmed with false memories.
But adults can be vulnerable too, he argues.
There are Mr. Pastors can becomethis kind of weigh station of
reality, sometimes accepted overactual memories.
And the consequences, he points out, were massive, huge social
problems, long term improvement of innocent people and the
(16:08):
exploitation of so-called victims.
Let's dig into some of the key cases of the Satanic Panic that
the author details. The Mcmartin Preschool trial,
which ran from 1983 to 1990, is presented as a prime example.
It started when a woman diagnosed with paranoid
schizophrenia accused a childcare provider, Ray Buckey,
and the situation just escalateddramatically when a police chief
(16:30):
mailed these letters to parents asking them to question their
kids. This got leaked to the media and
suddenly allegations began flooding.
The Children's Institute International, or CII, claimed
there were 360 victims. Yet the author points out none
of the physical evidence normally seen with sexually
abused children was found. He alleges some parents actually
coerced their children into making false claims of abuse.
(16:51):
May be motivated by hopes of lofty insurance settlements.
CII interviewers, he claims, usethese leading, suggestive and
repeated questions, techniques that psychologists now say
almost guarantee the implantation of false memories.
The outcome? Prosecution eventually stopped
in 1990 after just too many false accusations surfaced.
After six years, $15 million spent, no convictions were won.
(17:15):
He explicitly compares it to theSalem Witch Trials.
Another major case he discusses is the Fells Acre preschool case
in Malden, MA, starting in 1984.Here, a child's initial claim
led to really intense questioning and accusations
against Gerald Amaro, his motherViolet and his wife Cheryl.
The allegations revolved around a supposed secret magic room.
(17:36):
And the author describes the police and social worker tactics
as highly coercive. They shut down the school, told
parents things like go home and question your children and don't
take no for an answer. Warn them against showing any
support for the accused. Interrogations involved multiple
people, including a pediatric nurse who used Sesame Street
puppets and anatomically correctdolls.
(17:57):
Any failure by a child to disclose was just dismissed as
denial, the author stresses. No Fellsacre Child ever made a
spontaneous accusation of satanic ritual abuse.
Social scientists, he says, havesince demonstrated conclusively
that evidence obtained under these circumstances is
worthless. Studies apparently replicated
how these techniques could extract false accusations from a
(18:18):
high percentage of young kids. Then there's the case of Paul
Ingram in Olympia, WA from 1988.Ingram was a policeman,
apparently well respected and active charismatic Christian.
His two teenage daughters accused him and other prominent
men in the community of SRA. This was apparently influenced
by a woman in their church who claimed the gift of prophecy.
(18:38):
His evangelical church, the author notes, taught that Satan
could wipe memories clean and that any recovered memories
would be accurate because God wouldn't allow false ones.
This caused him quote incrediblelegal problems.
Ingram initially denied everything, but encouraged by
the sheriff and the psychologistto affirm that memory loss by
abusers was common, told the confession would bring memories
(18:59):
back. He started to pray and what the
author calls an act of pure faith.
Ingram began seeing mental flashes and images of abusing
his daughters in satanic ceremonies.
Detectives persuaded Ingram to visualize an exhaustive picture
and Ingram compliantly gave as much detail as the police
requested and confessed to satanic crimes that were
allegedly committed over a 20 year period.
(19:21):
End Quote. The author notes these
visualization methods were laterto be completely rejected by
academics who specialized in thestudy of memory functions.
Anger was convicted, sentenced to 20 years without parole based
solely on the visualizations deduced by the police.
He was finally released in 2003 after 14 years, but only by
agreeing to register as a sex offender.
(19:42):
So this whole phenomenon of recovered memory really came
under intense scrutiny. The book The Courage to Heal by
Bassin Davis, according to the author, all but demand that all
women conclude that they were sexually battered as children
even if they have no clear memories or any forensic
evidence. They insisted on the reality of
devil worshipping cults and SRA even as the understanding of
(20:03):
false memory syndrome was emerging.
Right. And the FBI, specifically
Special Supervisory Agent Kenneth Lanning, conducted a
major study. Lanning initially believed in
SRA, but by the late 1980s he became weary.
His investigation found none of the alleged SRA victims
exhibited any physical scars or signs of rape, and that times,
places and sequences of events did not add up.
(20:25):
Crucially, he found no evidence of a single legitimate instance
of SRA. Among thousands of cases
reviewed. An academic study by Goodman,
Kin and Bottom similarly found no unequivocal evidence for a
single case of satanic ritual abuse.
So the conclusion, the author states, was that SRA was
consequently deemed an urban legend and consigned to the
lunatic fringe. The term confabulation was
(20:47):
coined, this idea of fantasies unconsciously replacing facts
and memory often induced by therapists.
As a result, authorities largelystopped taking these accusations
seriously. The mental health community
stopped endorsing recovered memory therapies.
Geraldo Rivera even apologized on national TV for his role in
the scare. But here's the irony.
And this is really the author's central thesis kicking in.
(21:09):
One would think, he writes, thatthe Satanic Panic scare would
have ended all accusations of SRA.
However, he says new media reports of behavior that may be
defined as Satanic ritual abuse emerged as the new Millennium
approached, though the emphasis he notes was more on the legal
aspects, not using the term SRA itself, perhaps, he suggests,
due to accusations against Catholic priests and bishops.
(21:31):
Right, so the author score argument is that various forms
of SRA did in fact occur in the Catholic Church and that the
Vatican was complicit. And he posits this idea that the
Satanic Panic itself may in facthave been an elaborate ruse,
acting as a smokescreen to coverthe truly Luciferian activity
engaged in by Catholic clergymenand their Vatican protectors.
(21:52):
OK, so let's turn now to the core allegations of the book
itself, what the author terms Lucifer's launch.
He states very explicitly that there are priests of the Church
of Rome who have brought together elements of Satanism
and Catholicism in the rape of women and children, and that is
the specific focus here. These are the individuals he's
labeling Satanists and Luciferians within this
particular context. And again, he relies heavily on
(22:14):
the claims of Malachi Martin, who he says he collaborated
with. Martin asserted he had solid
information about a quote malignstrength operating within the
Vatican and bishops chanceries, which he called the superforce.
He claimed satanic pedophilia rights and practices was already
documented among certain bishopsand priests as widely dispersed
(22:34):
as Turin in South Carolina. This, according to Martin, was
considered the very culmination of the fallen Archangel's
rights. Martin claimed that during John
Paul the Second's papacy, the Roman Catholic organization
carried a quote permanent presence of clerics who worship
Satan and liked it, of bishops and priests who sodomized boys
and each other, of nuns who performed the black rites of
(22:55):
Wicca and who lived in lesbian relationships.
He alleged that everyday acts ofheresy and blasphemy and outrage
and indifference were committed and permitted at holy altars by
men who had been called to be priests.
And the scoop of this? According to Martin, as cited by
the author, it was a minority, anything from one to 10% of
church personnel, but crucially,many occupied astoundingly high
(23:18):
positions or rank. Martin also asserted there were
systematic organizational links and a network established
between certain clerical homosexual groups and Satanist
covens, and that this network possessed inordinate power and
influence. He also mentioned Mother
chapels, describing them as Satanist covens operating
secretly in the Catholic Church.The author claims the Black Room
and Devil's Room cases point to this being fact.
(23:41):
So Lucifer's Lodge, as the author defines it, is this small
cabal within the Vatican that supposedly controls certain
aspects of Church policy and hasset guidelines allowing for wide
scale sexual abuse by Catholic clerics, a small number of whom
are involved in satanic ritual abuse.
This faction, he states, is a component of a greater
(24:02):
conspiracy that operates within and outside of the Roman
Catholic Church. But he has a crucial disclaimer.
The vast majority of Catholic clergy never break their vows of
celibacy, and the average Catholic cleric who sexually
abuses helpless victims is not an overt Satanist or Luciferian.
However, he concludes that a very small number of priests do
engage in SRA and have caused a huge amount of damage while
(24:24):
enjoying the full backing of their respective bishops who
bent over backwards to enable them to continue ritually
abusing innocent boys and women.OK, let's turn to a specific
case study. The author uses Father Sean
Fortune in Ireland, whom he explicitly describes as a
Luciferian priest. He claims that even before
Fortune was ordained in 1979, the church knew he had a
(24:46):
malevolent side, citing an incident where he molested a Boy
Scout in front of others. The scouts apparently banned
him, but church officials ignored the reports and he was
ordained anyway. His first assignment brought
more complaints to the Chancery,yet the church, the author says,
simply transferred him without treating his compulsive sexual
behavior. The author recounts Fortune's
Draconian tendencies clashing with parishioners, putting a
(25:08):
curse on the trustees from his pulpit, coercing the elderly for
payments for blessings. Community leaders complained to
Bishop Brendan Comiskey and the papal nuncio Luciano Storrero
multiple times over six years, but the villagers apparently
never heard back. Fortune even burned all parish
financial records before leaving.
Despite knowing about Fortune's sexual misconduct, Bishop
(25:31):
Comiskey finally removed him, sent him to London for
treatment, and then appointed him director of the National
Association of Community Broadcasting, the highest media
office for the Catholic Church in Ireland at the time.
And during this period in London, Fortune allegedly
molested a 15 year old boy from his parish.
The author claims Comiskey was fully aware of Fortune's sexual
(25:52):
misconduct, money making schemesand his practice of satanic
sorcery, yet still reassigned him.
After Fortune left a later parish, parishioners found a
stash of child pornography. Victims eventually came forward,
but church lawyers, the author claims, began delaying the
trial. One victim even secretly
videotaped a sex session with Fortune to try and blackmail
(26:12):
Fortune into leaving him alone. The Bishop and papal nuncio
apparently kept telling the victims the matter was being
investigated when in reality absolutely nothing had been done
and the tragic impact included four youth suicides in the areas
around Fortunes parishes during his time there.
OK, our next case study is Father Paul Shanley, often
called the hippie priest, whom the author links directly to
(26:33):
Satanism and NM Belay. Ordained in 1960, Shanley was
initially seen as this modern priest eager to work with
children. However, the author alleges
there was a nefarious side to Shanley that the church ignored.
In the late 1960s, a priest apparently wrote to the Chancery
detailing Shanley molesting a young boy and taking teenagers
(26:54):
to a cabin for sex, but the Chancery quote did nothing to
investigate. The author claims Shanley
actively combed areas where alienated young people gathered,
enticing them into sexual acts at his Back Bay flat.
He would allegedly arrange for boys to meet other older gay men
and used a casual approach to tempt scores of homeless and
troubled kids into sexual encounters.
(27:15):
The author also alleges connections to the Process
Church, citing a youth worker who claims Shanley regularly
spoke to and shared information with processions concerning
homeless boys at a place called Cardell's Cafe, supposedly A
recruiting ground for the Process Church.
And then, maybe most shockingly,in 1977, Shanley publicly stated
he could think of no sexual act that caused sexual damage to
(27:36):
children, including incest and bestiality.
And he also stated that it is the child who seduces the adult
in pedophile relationships. These public proclamations, the
author notes, did not stop his youth ministry.
Cardinal Maderos apparently did nothing to deter Shanley until
finally transferring him in 1979.
Shanley then threatened to expose the depraved activities
(27:57):
of the archdiocese but accepted the reassignment.
No psychiatric treatment was suggested.
And the author directly links Shanley to and be lay the North
American Man Boy Love Association.
Despite transfers, Shanley apparently merely began to
molest the young boys who were church members, even allegedly
in the confessional, and the hierarchy continued to protect
(28:18):
him. According to the text, Cardinal
Law and Bishop John McCormick removed Shanley from terrorist
work, transferred him out of state, but he remained a priest
in good standing, receiving a full salary.
Shanley later ran gay Inns in California and was transferred
to New York City as acting director of Leo House, a church
run guest house, which the author claims turned out to be
another front for gay sex and man boy love.
(28:40):
Yeah, and in a really striking instance of alleged ignorance,
Shanley joined the San Diego Police Department's voluntary
senior patrol supervising crosswalks for children, never
mentioning he was a priest. His downfall finally came in
2002 when he was exposed by the Boston Globe, leading to his
extradition. Doctor Edwin Kassim, the
psychiatrist who evaluated priests for the church, is
(29:01):
quoted calling Shanley A notorious dangerous pedophile
and a scumbag, saying castrationwas too good for him.
Kassim was apparently stupefied that the archdiocese withheld
information about Shanley's Namboli ties and his belief that
boys were generally the aggressors.
OK, let's move on to Father Bernard Jay Lane and the
allegations surrounding his black room.
(29:21):
The author claims that in Littleton, MA back in the 1970s,
a wayward boy's home called the Alpha Omega House, run by
Reverend Bernard Lane, a Catholic priest, might have
hosted A satanic cult where ritual sexual abuse allegedly
occurred in the black room. This room, painted black, was
supposedly where boys were forced into sexual acts with
(29:41):
Lane and others, including Paul Shanley.
Victims claim there was an inverted cross and face down
crucifix in the black room whilesex occurred.
The Archdiocese of Boston, the author states flatly, was well
aware of the occult practices and sexual abuse, but allowed
Lane to continue his vile activities for decades.
Lane apparently justified practices like rolling around
(30:02):
naked on the floor and on each other while making moaning
noises as some kind of Primal Scream therapy.
Despite state inspections finding unusual treatment
practices in a report detailing Lane fondling a boy, which led
to his firing from Alpha Omega, the protection allegedly
continued. In 1996, Cardinal law actually
put Lane in charge of elderly priests at a retirement home.
(30:23):
The author notes that Lane and Shanley were seminary
classmates, old friends, both focused on youth counseling,
both accused of raping young boys and sharing a strong urge
for ritual sex. He proposes that Shanley and
Lane may have borrowed or fused elements from de Grimston's
theology that's the founder of the Process Church of the Final
Judgement into their own mystical sexual practice.
(30:46):
The Process Church, founded in 1965, apparently turned into a
Satan worshipping cult. And the author points to what he
sees as direct links. The Process Church used the term
alpha for its public rituals andOmega for its highest rank.
Lane's organization was named the Alpha Omega House.
Lane also employed strange formsof therapy that had sexual
(31:06):
overtones, similar, he claims, to the Process Church's
alternative counseling methods. And both groups, the author
notes, have these ceremonial chambers, the Alpha ritual room
for the Processens, and the black room for Lane's cult.
He concludes the given Shanley'salleged contact of the processed
church and his strong urge for ritual sex, it's not too hard to
speculate that Lane and Shanley may have been operating a
(31:28):
processed church offshoot at Alpha Omega.
Right next, let's explore the case of Father Robert V Meffen,
who apparently called himself a Messiah and LED a group known as
the Brides of Christ. The author starts by explaining
that within Christian theology, the ultimate sin is seen as
Lucifer's rebellion, his attemptto overturn heaven and become
God. Satanism, he claims, involves
(31:50):
the belief that humans should mimic Lucifer's rebellion and
seek to overturn heaven and become God, referencing Isaiah
14. The author alleges that Muffin,
along with another priest, Father James Foley, who's
discussed later, tolerated and encouraged 2 priests who
sexually abused young girls and woman and even claimed to be
Jesus Christ. They allegedly sought to usurp
the divine order and become God and strange rituals that they
(32:11):
incorporated into their ministry.
MFAN, ordained in 1953, apparently recruited girls aged
1417 to become nuns in the late 1960s and then repeatedly
sexually abused these young women, telling them he was Jesus
Christ. A 1993 church report cited by
the author stated Mfan taught these girls they were brides of
Christ. In July 1964, at a cottage on
(32:31):
Cape Cod, Mfan revealed that a Mystic had told him he was the
Christ of the Second Coming. He then allegedly had sexual
relations with all four nude girls present in the same bed,
telling them sex with Him is what awaited them when they went
to heaven. The girls apparently worshipped
and adored Maphan as the Messiahwhile taking turns engaging in
oral sex with Him. Mahan, the author states,
(32:53):
overtly claimed to be Jesus Christ, thought he was God
Incarnate. From 1965 to 1969, Mahsan
apparently visited these and other novices and nuns having
ongoing sexual relations at Sacred Art Convent, a high
School for Girls aged 13 to 19. He allegedly brainwashed them
into thinking he was Christ and that sex with him was some form
of divine growth, linking stagesof spiritual development with
(33:14):
these sexual acts. The author calls this a form of
initiatory sex magic and states Dafon regularly performed these
carnal rites. And despite having full
knowledge of Mafon's messianic claims and sexual perversions,
Cardinal Law, according to the author, never sent him for
cogent psychological help. Nor did the cardinal ever
confront Mafon. Mafon was just reassigned,
(33:36):
continued abusing girls as youngas 15.
Law eventually put him on sick leave in 1993, apparently
fearing a media nightmare. Mahfan continued recruiting
until retirement in 1996. Law wrote him a grateful letter
making no mention of his messianic claims or the abuse.
In a 2002 Boston Globe interview, Mahfan stated he
still believed his sexual relationships with teenagers
(33:58):
were beautiful spiritual experiences.
The author then raises the question, who was this Mystic
who supposedly informed Mahfan of his divine status?
He suggests it points to a sex magic ring.
Sex magic, he explains, is presented as a spiritual
practice, combining arcane rituals, hypnotic techniques,
and sexual encounters to induce a state wherein the participants
(34:18):
identify with and even become the deities they worship.
He claims ancient origins and things like tantric yoga and
Pagan cults. And Methens claims the author
asserts directly echo the occultteachings of Ali Stir Crowley,
described as a sex magician. Crowley 1875 to 1947, called
probably the most famous or infamous occultist, formed what
(34:39):
the author terms Crowley Anity. His rituals allegedly involved
elaborate incantations, drugs, liquor, participants visualizing
the deity they sought to become,believing the frenzy of orgasm
combined with ritual actually makes them become the deity.
He apparently did this with bothJesus and Satan, which the
author calls clearly a form of Luciferian religion, mimicking
(35:00):
Lucifer's attempt to usurp Heaven.
Crowley's famous axiom was Do what I will shall be the whole
of the law. The author draws a direct
comparison between the Fawn and Crowley.
Like Crowley, Miffon considered himself an incarnation of Jesus
Christ. Like Crowley, he recruited
young, emotionally disturbed women.
Like Crowley, he offered these girls unique mystical
experiences for participating inoccult ceremonies.
(35:23):
Like Crowley, Beffon employed visualization and sex rituals to
confirm his own divinity. The Mystic, the author
speculates, might have been a Catholic sex magician who
initiated method into these weird rites.
The author then introduces this metaphor of the underground
sewer to try and understand historical precedents from
Ifan's alleged actions. He cites St.
Thomas Aquinas from the 13th century comparing prostitution
(35:45):
to a palace sewer, arguing it was necessary to prevent filth
from bubbling up into the fine palatial rooms.
Saint Augustine apparently also supported its necessity.
In the early Christian period, the author claims there was a
Corinthian sex cult around 80 57where false teachers told
Christians they could do whatever they wished, including
fornication and sex with temple prostitutes of the goddess
(36:06):
Venus. Believing these really didn't
mind, they claimed all things were lawful, referencing First
Corinthians 6, which the author suggests might be where Crowley
got his axiom. He posits that some section of
the Corinthian Christian sex cult may have ignored Paul's
letter that they continue to combine elements of Christianity
with Pagan sex rituals involvingsacred prostitutes.
(36:27):
Such a cult, he argues, could have existed as a secret society
within the early church and flourished covertly, with
priests being worshipped as the body of Christ by brides of
Christ during sex rituals. This, he states, is the
underground sewer. He also brings in the Despacini,
describing them as descendants of Jesus cousins.
They apparently believe they should run the church by blood
(36:49):
and we're obliged to procreate to pass on leadership.
He notes they were blood relatives of Jesus and believed
they were the body, blood and spirit of Jesus Christ with the
right to marry and run the church.
He suggests this heresy may havebeen where Celsus received the
notion that Jesus was a sex fiend.
Although Malachi Martin believedthat Despozini died out in the
4th century, the author suggestssome may have survived and their
(37:13):
congregations could have easily kept these sexual teachings
alive in the church by going underground.
He also points to a connection with the Mayor of Indians, where
Pope Paul first designated the Mayor of Indian House of France
Minister day using Translatio and Perry.
This medieval idea of a transferof divine authority to grant
them divine right rule. This might have been, he
(37:33):
speculates, due to disposing theintermarriage with Mayor of
Indians. Since Jesus's bloodline was
Davidic. This is presented as the root of
the medieval belief that the European royal houses were of
the House of David. So the author argues that this
odd idea that Jesus was married,promiscuous, and practice
sorcery evolved into a hereticalcult in that really medieval
(37:54):
period. End Quote.
And this cult, he claims, likelyhad branches among both the
aristocracy and the underprivileged, and may have
survived within the confines of the church as it moved into the
Middle Ages. It's presented as an established
fact that the medieval church actually owned and operated
brothels in Europe. Bishoprics regulated them, and
the Christian sex magic cult mayhave survived within these
(38:16):
bordellos. The author lists several
examples of allegedly corrupt copes from the medieval period,
including Benedict the 9th, described as a child Pope who
was supposedly bisexual, sodomized animals, ordered
murderers, dabbled in witchcraftand Satanism, and even sold the
papacy. He states that Catholic nuns ran
these houses of ill repute and exploited helpless women with
money flowing to the Bishop's coffers.
(38:38):
He claims it was in these sorts of convents, whore houses, that
elements of the sex magic cult from the Apostolic age survived.
The author then traces this underground sewer to Boston in
the 19th century. In 1832, Rebecca Reed, a charity
people at the Ursuline Convent in Charlestown, Massachusetts,
escaped. She spread stories of sex
atrocities, claiming she was forced into weird sex acts and
(39:00):
prostitution. Her book Six Months in a Covent
apparently sold 200,000 copies and LED to a Protestant mob
burning the convent down. Yeah, and Rebecca Reed's
testimony was apparently backed up by a Canadian woman named
Maria Monk. Monk wrote an even more lurid
book called Awful Disclosures ofthe Hotel du Nunnery, also in
1832, which convinced many readers the mob had done well.
(39:23):
Well, these are often interpreted as just anti
Catholic propaganda. The author argues that the
recent revelations in the Churchpresent these claims in a
different light. The author describes this weird
ceremony called Coronation Day, devised by the Ursuline Superior
Sister Saint George Marianne Moffitt.
He calls it a cult or even Free Masonic Rosicrucian in nature.
Moffitt and Bishop Benedict Fenwick apparently sat in throne
(39:47):
chairs representing God and the Virgin Mother.
A building on the nunnery grounds, the Bishop's lodge
where Fenwick kept his library investments, is speculated by
the author to have been most likely a frankest ritual chamber
where nuns were forced into strange sexual rights.
He also alleges Fenwick forced Reed to prostate herself and
lick the floor, and suggests Fenwick might have fathered a
(40:09):
daughter named Maria with Ursuline Mary Barber.
Maria Monk's accounts in her book described meeting Moffett
after the fire. She also described another
ritual claimed to be Masonic like where aspiring nuns were
placed in coffins then propped up after death, which the author
calls a version of the third Degree right of Freemasonry.
Monk claimed rape by priests andnuns, alleging priests regularly
(40:31):
used nuns for sex in a private room reserved for holy retreats,
which he claimed were in realitysex magic rituals.
The author then raises the question of whether the Sisters
of Saint Joseph, SSJ, the order that later included Miffan and
Foley, continued the sex magic practices of the Ursulines and
Sisters of Charity. He speculates that Foley and
Miffan might have attended Catholic schools run by the SSJ
(40:53):
and could have been recruited aschildren into some sort of
secret Francas cult within the Sisters of Saint Joseph and then
later ordained to recruit young women into this cult.
The archdiocese and SSJ, the author claims, were aware of
Miffan's recruiting efforts and merely shuffled him about.
And to support this idea of a Francas cult surviving in
Massachusetts Catholicism, the author points to Louis Demitz
(41:14):
Brandeis, the first Jewish US Supreme Court justice.
Brandeis was descended from Francis.
Families apparently kept a miniature portrait of Eva Frank,
Jacob Frank's daughter, on his desk, and the author claims he
was a practicing Francis. Jacob Frank was this
controversial 18th century Jewish figure who declared
himself Messiah and advocated for mystical practices,
(41:34):
including sexual liberation, which critics labeled heretical.
The author concludes the Archdiocese of Boston was most
likely protecting the remnants of a Frankish cult that survived
within the church. This, he states, is another
branch of the underground sewer.OK, now let's look at the
problem of what the book calls degenerate priests and the
Church's response, or maybe lackthereof, regarding their
(41:55):
treatment. The author highlights the case
of NHL player Chris Nealon, who admired his Catholic High School
chaplain, Reverend Frederick J Ryan.
Neil and Layer learned Ryan was a child molester whose abusive
children had satanic overtones. 1 Victim David Carney revealed
Ryan paid for him to get a tattoo of a red devil like
creature wearing a sailor's cap and a pair of diapers before the
(42:17):
abuse. This tattooing or branding, the
author notes, is common among Satanists, historically called
the Devil's Mark. The author states pretty bluntly
that the Vatican refused to endorse a 0 tolerance policy on
abusive priests, saying it was confusing, ambiguous and hard to
reconcile with church law. He notes that priests like a
Father Mullen accused of molesting a boy 22 years earlier
(42:39):
were sent to church run clinics like Saint Luke's Institute,
which apparently had a huge collection of child pornography.
Mullins seen the large number ofpriests there apparently began
to gradually realize how widespread the problem really
was. The author really details the
ineffectiveness of this treatment.
Since the 1970s, psychiatrists used things like 12 step support
(43:00):
groups, female hormone injections, and aversion therapy
without any success. They'd estimate a relapse risk
and then release the priests. This allegedly cost the church
at least $50 million. Priests like John Jogan were
treated again and again, but just slid back into their
predatory behavior. Victims, the author notes, were
left wondering exactly what was going on inside the costly
(43:21):
psychiatric centers. And psychiatrist from respected
institutions like Johns Hopkins and McLean Hospital, who
actually worked with the church,accused leaders of ignoring
their advice and rushing dangerous priests back into
ministry. Leslie Lotstein from the
Institute of Living is quoted saying they rarely followed our
recommendations. Doctor Edwin Kasim, who
(43:42):
evaluated priests, said he was stupefied that the archdiocese
withheld documents suggesting Shanley's and ballet ties and
his belief that boys were the aggressors.
He said he would have recommended Shanley be laicized
and jailed. Next, the author delves into the
murder of Father Alfred Coombs, suggesting it might have been a
kind of Satanist calling card. Coombs is portrayed quite
(44:03):
differently, as a normal, untainted man of God, a decent
man, and a dedicated cleric. He's an expert on Canon law,
performed exorcisms, fought for the old Latin Mass.
The altar claims Koons, Father Fiore and Malachi Martin were
collaborating to gather information on pedophile priests
who were practicing Satanism andthe church leaders who protected
(44:24):
them. They apparently faced harsh
resistance, gag orders, priests being constantly reassigned,
huge payments made for silence. Koons, Fioria, Martin all
received anonymous death threatson a constant basis.
Martins threats supposedly increased after radio
appearances where he exposed thepedophile ring.
Then on March 4th, 1998, Coons was found murdered, his throat
(44:46):
slashed from ear to ear. This happened the very night
Fiore took over the Catholic Family Hour radio show, and
Fiore apparently feared for his life.
In a really chilling detail, theauthor notes that a mutilated
calf growth slash, blood drained, was found on a farm
just 15 minutes away from Koons's body, within nearly the
exact time frame of Koons's murder.
(45:07):
The author states bluntly, calf mutilations are the calling card
or signature of Satanists. So who killed Koons?
The author suggests the killer was likely employed full time,
had at least a high school education and no extensive
criminal record, implying maybe not a professional hitman.
The nature of the fatal wound also bore the characteristics of
(45:27):
a satanic cult murder, he claims.
He gives the example of Captain William Mork in a Freemason
whose throat was slit after he allegedly exposed the fraternity
secrets. Malachi Martin, just six weeks
after Coons's murder, apparentlyswore he had inside information
that the killing was the signature work of Luciferians,
believing Coons was killed in hatred of the faith, as
punishment and as an example forthe rest of us.
(45:48):
OK, let's dig into the psychological aspects the author
outlines now, particularly SRA and brainwashing, which he
frames as a kind of psychological weapon.
The Elizabeth Smart case from 2002 is used as a vivid
illustration. Remember the 15 year old girl
kidnapped, found walking with her abductors, yet seemed to
want to stay with them? Right.
Her abductors were the excommunicated Mormon Brian
(46:10):
David Mitchell and his wife. Mitchell apparently saw himself
as a prophetic and at times Messianic figure, believing
Elizabeth was divinely ordained to be his second wife.
The author uses this case to illustrate Stockholm Syndrome,
where victims bond with abusers as a survival mechanism.
The captive feels relief, gratitude after a threat is
averted. Start seeing the captor as a
(46:31):
good guy or even a savior. And then there's brainwashing.
In mind control. Brainwashing is defined here as
intensive, forcible indoctrination aimed at
destroying a person's basic convictions and replacing them
with an alternative set of fixedbeliefs.
The term, he notes, was coined by journalist Edward Hunter in
1951 regarding Korean War Pows. It involves torture, sleep
(46:54):
deprivation, hypnosis, drugs andthreats, as well as rewards.
Isolation is key. Mind control, as allegedly
pursued in the CIA's MK old TRA program, went even further.
This program supposedly aimed toalter minds, extract info,
create agents who couldn't reveal secrets.
It involved LSD, ketamine, electrodes, lobotomy, shock
therapy, truth serum. The goal?
(47:15):
The author claims to program subjects to act against their
will or even sacrifice their ownlife.
He connects this to earlier rumors about Hassan Al Saba
using drugs on his assassins, and even sacks Roemer's Fu
Manchu novels depicting mind control, suggesting this
knowledge existed earlier. So how does the author apply
this to Catholic SRA victims? He states that Stockholm
Syndrome and recent indications that priests use techniques
(47:39):
similar to brainwashing to control the behavior of children
demonstrates how susceptible humans are to programmed
conditioning by authority figures.
He speculates that cult leaders might be particularly adept at
programming people into being Manchurian candidates, noting
that deprogramming attempts often result in suicide
attempts, suggesting a self destruction program implanted by
(47:59):
the cult leader. He points to Patrick Mcsorley, a
victim of Father John Giogan. In 2003, Mcsorley nearly drowned
in Pope John Paul the Seven Park, having no memory of how he
got in the water. The author links this to a
possible mind control program oran unconscious program where in
the memory of the event was deleted, suggesting the parks
name was perhaps some sort of mental trigger mechanism.
(48:21):
Mcsorley was later found dead ofan apparent drug overdose.
There's also mention of a new form of brainwashing, described
as subtle brainwashing observed in recent SRA cases where
victims need not be completely isolated.
The priest allegedly used low level threats and bribes to keep
children silent. This subtle process builds up
over years and may eventually culminate in the victim's
(48:42):
impression that he at fault. This induced shame led to
decades of silence. A victim's testimony in the
Father Ronald Picken trial illustrates this powerfully.
You brainwashed me as your sex slave.
You created a world for me whereI believe that it's normal for
sons to shower with their fathers.
A world where fathers and sons are supposed to share these
sexual acts. Right now, let's explore these
(49:04):
intertwining sewer churches, thehistorical conspiracy branches
the author tries to connect. He introduces the Mormon branch,
noting Joseph Smith's initiationinto Freemasonry in 1842.
The author claims that some of the well dressed young men who
come to their door to preach believe that they are direct
descendants of Jesus Christ and quote.
(49:24):
This notion that certain men areof the bloodline of Jesus, he
argues, prompted early Mormons to practice polygamy, believing
they were spreading the seat of Christ.
He also points to reports of a Mormon pedophile crisis that
apparently mimics the situation in the Roman Catholic Church and
highlights Jeffrey Lundgren, a Mormon who had a vision of
himself as Jesus Christ on the cross and demanded female
(49:45):
followers worship him as Jesus in deranged sex rituals.
Then there's the Masonic Branch revisited.
The author claims Freemasonry absorb this heretical theology
from the medieval Brethren of the Free Spirit.
He alleges Lucifer is in fact worshipped in Free Masonic
rituals as the Morning Star and members are called Sons of the
Morning Star. He quotes Albert Pike, a
(50:06):
significant figure in modern Freemasonry.
Lucifer the Light Bearer, Strange and mysterious name to
give to the spirit of darkness. Lucifer, the son of the morning.
Is it he who bears the light? Doubt it not.
This Masonic sewer stream, the author claims, has another
branch flowing from the Knights Templars down to Elector
Crowley. Crowley's occult groups
(50:27):
influenced Jack Parsons, whose protege L Ron Hubbard founded
Scientology. From Scientology, the author
traces lineages to Robert Moore to Grimston Process Church
founder and Charles Manson. Both Moore and Manson, the
author states, had their followers worship them both his
Jesus Christ and Satan's sex rights.
This branch, he alleges, intersected with Father Paul
Shanley in Massachusetts in the 1970s.
(50:48):
And finally, the Roman Catholic branch is re emphasized.
The author argues that despite the Church's efforts, beliefs of
the heretical Brethren of the Free Spirit kept re emerging,
perhaps through oral tradition. He points again to the Francis
link with Jacob Frank, the falseMessiah who allegedly practice
sex magic, noting the virtually identical ideas and rituals
(51:09):
between Frank's cult and Mephon's Messiah cult.
And here's where the author claims a really significant
concession occurred at Vatican 2A concession to Lucifer's
lodge. Even though the church banned
Catholics from being Masons, several prelates maintained
strong links to the launch. A secret internal Vatican
document from 1962 written by Cardinal Alfredo Ataviani, known
(51:31):
as the Ataviani document, was leaked to CBS News.
It was described by a lawyer quoted by the author as a
blueprint for deception, instructing bishops to handle
sexual assault committed by a priest in the most secretive way
under penalty of excommunication.
This lawyer called it an instruction manual on how to
deceive and how to protect. When CBS reported on this,
prelates claimed it only appliedto sex crimes revealed in
(51:54):
confession, But the author notesthey never explained how brute
animals fit into the equation. He asserts this policy
effectively protected Satanist priests.
The author claims that by 1982, the seminaries were so packed
with gays and pedophiles that potential priests quickly fled
their priestly formation, and that Luciferians who ran the
(52:15):
seminaries would harass and ridicule those who refuse to
engage in homosexual activity ortolerate pedophile priests.
So the author concludes that thepapal policy enacted at the
Second Vatican Council set the stage for Lucifer's Lodge to
take over the Boston Archdioceseand the rest of the Roman
Catholic Church. This peripheral movement, he
argues, was essentially granted a license to operate freely by
(52:37):
the 2nd Vatican Council and would enjoy the full protection
of the Patrina office until it was exposed in 2002 by the
Boston Globe. He reiterates his suggestion
that the Satanic Panic might have been an elaborate ruse, a
smokescreen to cover the truly Luciferian activity within the
church. Finally, the author highlights
the sexual abuse of nuns, framing it as an even larger of
the less reported problem. A 1996 survey of US nuns, never
(53:01):
published by the church but apparently leaked, reported a
minimum of 34,000 Catholic nuns.About 40% of all American nuns
claim sexual abuse. Three of every four claimed they
were sexually victimized by a priest, nun or other religious
person. A 1994 Vatican study, the author
reports, even linked alleged sexual abuse of nuns in Africa
to the spread of AIDS. Pope John Paul the Second did
(53:23):
publicly apologize in 2001, but the apology was apparently one
paragraph long and buried within120 page message.
The author claims that while male child abuse got wide
coverage, the sexual abuse of nuns and women by clerics is a
far larger problem. Suffering from a media blackout,
victims face humiliation and church officials allegedly asked
female victims questions like were you in love with them?
(53:44):
Did you initiate contact, treating them more as
seductresses than as people who were victimized?
Wow. OK, we've navigated a truly
complex and frankly disturbing landscape today.
We've traced these claims of ancient sex magic cults, their
alleged survival within and alongside major institutions,
and the, well, the very dark andhuman cost described in these
(54:05):
practices. Yeah, from the the controversial
Satanic Panic of the 80s and 90s, where we know false
accusations led to really grave injustices, all the way to these
persistent and deeply troubling allegations of Satanic ritual
abuse and massive cover ups within the Roman Catholic
Church, this deep dive reveals Anarrative, at least according to
this source, of profound institutional failure and
(54:29):
alleged malevolence. We've seen how the author
connects figures like Aleister Crowley and Jacob Frank to
alleged practices within the Catholic Church, how
psychological techniques like brainwashing and Stockholm
Syndrome might, According to him, play a role in victim
compliance. And how this underground sewer
of alleged historical heresies is said to have flowed through
various movements, even impacting prominent political
(54:49):
figures and seemingly innocuous community roles.
It's important to stress the material we've explored today
presents a really extreme perspective on these issues.
It alleges these deep seated conspiracies and dark practices.
Our goal here has just been to lay out these claims as they are
presented in the source, allowing you to wrestle with the
the intricate web of historical,psychological, and institutional
(55:12):
elements that make up this highly controversial narrative.
So maybe the final thought to leave you with is this Given the
author's assertion that the Satanic Panic might have been a
diversionary tactic to conceal truly Luciferian activity, and
given the documented instances of institutional protection for
accused abusers, what does this ongoing struggle for
accountability truly reveal about the nature of power and
(55:34):
secrecy, even within supposedly sacred institutions?
And maybe more fundamentally, how does one truly separate fact
from fiction when faced with such profound allegations of
systemic deception?
