--- Begin Message --- -Caveat Lector-PrefaceLooking for Lucifer�s LodgeLucifer's Lodge: Satanic Ritual Abuse in the Catholic Church
by William H. Kennedy
2004
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.
