Their At It Again

Last Monday, members of a New York group called the Satanic Temple joined Harvard students to hold a "black mass" at a Chinese restaurant in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The absurdity of the event belies the controversy that led up to it, as the ceremony - a quasi-religious parody of a Catholic Holy Mass - was originally scheduled to be sponsored by a Harvard University student organisation and held on campus. About 50 people, mostly dressed in black and some wearing face makeup, and a woman in lingerie  were present for the ceremony.  Welcome to America.
