OKLAHOMA CITY (ChurchMilitant.com) - A satanist is planning to
protest the Mother of God's virginity by pouring fake blood on a Mary
statue outside a church on Christmas Eve.
The leader of the
Satanic Church of Ahriman, Adam Daniels, a registered sex offender that
has used the alias "Adam Smith," has titled the protest "The Virgin
Birth Is a Lie," and says he wants to expose the "lies of the Catholic
Church" by adding "another layer of corruption to Mary." He says the
Virgin Birth of Jesus is a "fraud."
Daniels obtained a permit to
protest on the sidewalk outside of St. Joseph's Old Cathedral on
Christmas Eve from 4:30 - 6:15 p.m. Daniels also sent a "Christmas gift"
to Abp. Paul Coackley of Oklahoma City. "We rewrote the Mother of Mary
thing and put it in a card and we also sent him a corrupted Rosary along
with a DVD of what our plans are."
"We want the public to be
aware that there are other forms of religion that are free from the
enslavement by the Catholic Church," Daniels said, adding that he wasn't
concerned about blacklash. "I don't care about outrage. ... [W]e feel
this is appropriate."
So far there has been no comment from the archdiocese of Oklahoma City.
