Lucifer's Lodge: Satanic Ritual Abuse in the Catholic Church
by William H. Kennedy
In early 1996 I found myself in the New York City living room of
the
famous theologian and novelist Father Malachi Martin. I had come
to
gather information on the aging priest's life for a book on
traditional
Catholic curates, which I was considering writing. The idea for
the book
had been suggested to me by Dr. Rama P. Coomaraswamy, MD who then
arranged a meeting with his close friend Martin, who would be
prominently featured in the proposed book. In the course of the
interview, Martin made a suggestion for a further writing project
that I
found quite stunning at the time.
Martin told me that he had solid information that Boston's
prelate,
Cardinal Bernard Law, was complicit in the operation of a ring of
pedophile priests, some of whom were practicing Satanists. In the
course
of the next 15 or 20 minutes Martin outlined the evidence he had
obtained concerning Law and other prelates in the American
Catholic
Church. Martin said that some of his sources in the Vatican
reported
that a major cover-up was afoot in Boston involving the Church
which was
paying off former victims for their silence and using forms of
intimidation to quell others who suffered under these vile
priests. He
told me of the letters he got from victims in Boston, some of whom
had
suffered under the nefarious activities of a group of
Devil-worshiping
Catholic priests.
Martin went on to mention that he and his colleague Father Charles
Fiore
were gathering a central list of offending clerics and their
complicit
superiors and he said that he wanted to network out in order to
have
some investigative contacts in each city where the heaviest
reports of
satanic pedophilia among priests were originating. Martin
suggested that
I begin researching this cult in Boston as I was from
Massachusetts and
could "get a better pulse on the situation."
My first impression of this odd suggestion was one of extreme
skepticism. I remembered philosopher John Hume's much used dictum
that
(in my paraphrase) "an extraordinary claim requires extraordinary
evidence" and stated that such a cabal could never be kept secret
in
Massachusetts where gossip (good, bad and ugly) is the order of
the day
in the lives of the faithful. I claimed that the Archdiocese in
Boston
has had a few sick priests who abused children, like Father James
Porter, but the system eventually weeded these people out of the
Church
and away from ever being near children again.
Martin asked me to make some inquiries in Boston on my own,
claiming
thatthe over-arching nature of this Catholic cabal of Satanist
pervert
priests would reveal cracks in the walls of what he referred to as
"Lucifer's Lodge". He asked me to suspend judgment, search out the
facts
for myself, report any findings back to him and, if I found enough
hard
proof, write a book on the subject. Martin offered help me promote
the
book on a variety of nationally syndicated radio shows if I chose
to
write a book on this seemingly odd topic.
After returning to Massachusetts and undertaking some very casual
investigative reporting, I could find no one who had heard of such
activities in Greater Boston. I relayed this to Martin in various
phone
conversations to which he always replied that the cover-up was
still in
play and that the situation was so bad that the pedophile cult in
the
church would soon explode into the popular media. Although I
doubted the
possibility that a large-scale cover-up was possible I suspected
that
Martin's theory might be true on a far smaller scale among a few
sick
clerics. The Chancery, so I thought, would not allow such a large-
scale
operation to exist and the moral implications of such a cover-up
would
compel Cardinal Law to destroy any such cult he found in his
archdiocese.
To be perfectly honest, I thought various pranksters were sending
Martin
false letters about Satanism. This often happens to Christian
clergy who
specialize in anything demonic, such as the radio evangelist Bob
Larson
who was constantly hoaxed on his live show.
Over the next few years I kept in regular contact with Martin by
phone
and paid him a few more visits in New York. Martin at first
considered
expanding my chapter on him into a full biography but later
decided to
abandon the project. He told me he did not want to spend his
twilight
years defending his life and would rather put his energy toward
writing
a final book concerning the New World Order. He asked me not to
write
anything about him while he was alive but did request that I write
a
response to any critics who tried to smear his reputation after
his
passing, using the biographical materials he had given me.
I greatly respected the elderly priest but did not agree with his
assessment of the Satanist priest ring in the Church at that time.
I
feared probing too deeply into Church affairs, recalling the
Satanic
Panic, which erupted in Massachusetts in the 1980's. I had watched
in
horror as members of the Amirault family were sent to prison for
practicing Satanism and child abuse at their day care center in a
Boston
suburb. I trembled when I recalled the talk of restoring the death
penalty in Massachusetts for satanic ritual abuse and thought that
the
witch hysteria that plagued Salem in the 1690's was returning to
the Bay
State.
I thought that the sort of cabal that Martin spoke of was too big
for
any group of conspirators to keep a guarded secret for very long.
After
Martin died in 1999, there was not much talk of this satanic
ritual
abuse cult in the Roman Catholic Church. I thought that the matter
was
dead. I was sorely mistaken.
The morning of January 6, 2002, began as a normal enough day. As
an
early riser I generally retrieve the morning newspaper just after
its
delivery at my door. After I settled down to read /The Boston
Globe/
with a cup of tea the headline I read made my jaw drop: /Church
Allowed
Priest Abuse for Years./ The article recounted how Father Paul
Shanley
sexually abused boys and reported that an active conspiracy was in
play
to protect a variety of sexually degenerate priests. This was not
some
underground rag or conspiracy newsletter -- this was /The Boston
Globe/,
one of the most respected newspapers in the world. The paper later
won
the 2003 Pulitzer Prize for public service for its coverage of the
priest crisis.
The next year saw a whirlwind of media coverage concerning Law and
his
complicity in the protection of over 100 alleged degenerate
priests in
his archdiocese. News from other nations revealed the
international
scope of the priest pedophile ring, which operated with the
protection
of the Vatican. Law was forced to resign within two years of the
initial
/Globe /report and Bishop Thomas Dupre of Springfield,
Massachusetts was
likewise forced to resign and faces criminal charges for the rape
of two
children.
I attended a few of the spontaneous protests that began outside
the
Cathedral when Law was conducting services inside and I got to
know some
victims. A few began telling me of their experiences, ones that
fit the
picture Martin had outlined. One fellow told me about being abused
in a
Catholic boy's home in what he called "the black room", a ritual
chamber
used by priests to rape young boys. Another man who also lived at
this
home told me about certain devilish practices that occurred in the
black
room. After reading the Irish journalist Alison O'Connor's book /A
Message from Heaven/ (2000) about the priest crisis in Ireland, I
learned that a certain Irish priest used what victims (who like to
referred to as "survivors") called "the devil's room" to molest
children.
There seemed to be a network of these ad hoc ritual chambers being
used
by Catholic priests all over the world. This was all very hard to
absorb.
As more and more reports of sexually abusive priests came out in
the
popular press, more and more cases of what can only be described
as
satanic ritual abuse emerged in the popular media. The complicity
of the
Church hierarchy made it a full-blown cabal and the cases of
ritual
abuse revealed this conspiracy was satanic in nature.
After over a year and a half of collecting data and interviewing
victims
and social workers, I decided I would heed Martin's advice and
write the
book you now hold in your hands.
The first chapter deals with the Satanic Panic, which began in the
1980s
and sent innocent men, like Gerald Amirault, to prison on
trumped-up
Satanic Ritual Abuse (SRA) charges. For those who want to know
"where's
the beef?" on Catholic SRA,
they can skip this chapter and go straight to the second chapter
on
Father Sean Fortune where their hunger will be satisfied. Chapters
three
through seven deal with SRA cases in the Boston archdiocese that
have
come to light since January 2002. The murder of Father Alfred Kunz
is
covered in chapter eight, and chapter nine deals with the dynamics
of
brainwashing and SRA. Chapter ten reviews the nature of this cabal
by
employing some of Martin's accurate analysis of the situation we
face
concerning satanic ritual abuse in the Catholic Church.
My primary sources for the information I have accumulated for this
study
are:
/The Boston Globe/, /Boston Herald, Boston Phoenix /and /Irish
Times/
newspapers. I conducted interviews with seven verified victims in
August
of 2002 whom I had met at the protests in front of the Holy Cross
Cathedral in Boston. Because of legal and personal reasons, these
victims have asked to remain anonymous and I will respect this.
Their
testimony concerning the abuse they faced merely back-up
established
facts from mainstream news agencies. One former Protestant church
youth
social worker I interviewed concerning a satanic cult called the
Process
Church likewise wishes to remain nameless as members of this sect
still
live in the vicinity of his home and he wants no conflict with
them.
Another source who contacted me concerning the Process Church's
activity
wishes to remain anonymous as well.
My theory concerning the history of this cult that appears
throughout
this study is certainly within the realm of conjecture and is not
offered as being absolute. It acts more as a vehicle to initiate
debate
on the origin of this strange sect within the Church of Rome.
It must be categorically and emphatically stated that this study
does
not comprise a blanket indictment of Catholic priests. The vast
majority
of Roman Catholic curates /keep /their vow of celibacy and never
have
sexual relations. Father Malachi Martin -- himself a lifelong
priest of
the Church of Rome -- claimed satanic pedophile priests constitute
only
about one to two percent of all Catholic clerics worldwide, an
estimate
based on a secret Vatican sex study conducted from 1994-96 and
which
also concludes that well over 90 percent of Catholic clergy have
never
had sexual contact in their clerical lives. That is the vast
majority of
the world's priests. Consequently, this examination exonerates
these
innocent clerics and has nothing but sympathy for the way they are
now
made to suffer for the actions of a small number of their deviant
brother priests and the prelates who protected them. Let us all
remember
to treat these innocent servants of Christ with the utmost
respect.
A few words must be said about the modern Satanism movement.
Modern
Satanists all more or less derive from Anton LaVey's Church of
Satan and
its offshoots. These groups comprise harmless Satanists who, for
varied
reasons, choose to offer their spiritual allegiance to the Devil
either
as a metaphor or as a supernatural being. Such Satanists harm no
one and
it is not the intention of the author to suggest that all
Satanists are
pedophiles anymore than it is my intention to say all Catholics
are
pedophiles. The vast majority of those espousing Satanism as a
creed are
as harmless to society as the vast number of people who espouse
Catholicism as their faith. The major precept of a truly free
society is
its tolerance of spiritual beliefs even if those beliefs are
offensive
to others or oneself. It is in this spirit that I believe that
harmless
Satanists should be free to practice their religion without
interference
from those who are offended by their purview.
However, there are priests of the Church of Rome who have combined
elements of Satanism and Catholicism in the rape of women and
children
and it is these individuals I am focusing on in this book. In this
regard I refer to them as "Satanists" and "Luciferians" and I
should
point out that I am only referring to the Catholic priests who
were
involved in SRA cases. Basically, Satanist priests invoke Satan's
name
in magical hexes and offer sex rituals to Satan. Luciferian
priests are
those priests who mimic the actions of Lucifer and invert the
Christian
rites with perverted sex rituals. Both sorts of Catholic priests
have
been well aware of each other and have sometimes shared
information.
I am not in any way, shape or form referring to the harmless
Satanists
mentioned above. The only Satanists I name as being linked to
child rape
are Roman Catholic priests who have adopted diabolical practices
into
their ministry. I am stating categorically that I do not mean to
suggest
any other Satanic or occult group mentioned in this book are
involved in
any kind of rape or criminal activity of any kind.
This work is not for the fainthearted and is certainly not for
children.
It constitutes a world far more morbid, sadistic and frightening
than
anything that the creative imaginations of an H.P. Lovecraft or a
Stephen King could ever hope to conjure. It is the real world of
Devil
worship and arcane sexual rites practiced by priests of the Church
of
Rome who have formed their own /Lucifer's Lodge/.
