The Devil you say

There was quite a lot of talk about the Black Mass that was going to be celebrated at Harvard.  Most of it was anywhere but the mainstream media.  For obvious reasons.  The media is always nervous about pointing to extremes of those perspectives it tends to support.  By focusing on the extremists in opposing camps, the media is able to paint a portrait in which the only zealots and radicals are, in fact, in those ideals against which the media are fighting.  So you probably didn't hear much of that in most major national publications and outlets, save for Fox News.  

Nonetheless, the sheer evilness and Nazi-like contempt of the action was picked up on by Catholics, who had a variety of responses.  Praying wasn't bad, and the special Mass done in answer to this showed once more that prayer and worship are always acceptable alternatives, even if they take place around abortion clinics.  Here Thomas McDonald has an interesting take on the whole series of events.  That's good enough for me, and I don't have much else to contribute.
