Assemblymen, Remove Satan!
A total of Thirty-two people stood outside the Kenai Peninsula Borough Building in Alaska to protest and make reparation for the abominable Satanic invocation given during the borough assembly meeting on January 18, 2022 at 6:00 p.m.
Eight Knights of Columbus participated, bringing along their families, while other local Catholics resolved to join in prayer from their churches and homes. The Holy Rosary was the spiritual weapon of choice of all present. At the time, the weather was mild by Alaskan standards, being twenty degrees Fahrenheit (above zero) and calm. The gathering of Catholics was heartening and resolute. There were no counter protests to be found.
A few Catholics, including a priest, bravely gathered inside assembly chambers to oppose the invocation. A Catholic eyewitness relayed that several citizens got up and left before the invocation, a number stood and turned their back to the invocation— probably twenty or more individuals, while others refused to stand (as is the custom) to show their opposition. There appeared to be no one supporting the invocation.
A national petition in opposition to the invocation was delivered to the Borough clerk’s office on behalf of Tradition, Family and Property. The petition, signed by 41,530 individuals, urgently requests the assemblymen to remove all Satanic invocations from their assembly meetings. The petition fervently states, “. . .This is offensive to God and numerous Christians who understand the danger that promoting Satan brings,” and ends with the cautionary words, “Better to offend the sensibilities of men than to offend the eternal, all-powerful God.” ■
