On May 1, scores of demons descended upon Baltimore, Maryland.
It was there, at the Mobtown Ballroom, that The Satanic Temple held an event called the “Satanic Revival.” This was their first national event since the SatanCon back in 2023. The program featured several blasphemies, including:
- A talk titled: “The Satanic Pulpit: Sinful Testimonies.”
- A Ceremony of Infernal Pride
- A drag performance
- A concert by the Pentagram String Band
- A study session about the “Satanic religion.”
All of these things gravely offend God and demand acts of reparation.
That is why faithful Catholics also showed up to make sure that reparation was made and the wicked serpent’s head was crushed.
The rosary rally was organized by the American Society for the Defense of Tradition, Family and Property (TFP). The TFP volunteers were joined by local Catholics who were upset that Satan had been invited into their city.
In addition, the St. Louis de Montfort Academy sent a busload of students to join the rally. These students frequently join TFP protests throughout the year, and their youthful enthusiasm always brings vitality to these demonstrations.
The TFP’s prayerful protest began at 3:30 p.m., just 30 minutes before the Satanic Revival was set to take place. The protesters gathered at the intersection diagonally across from the Mobtown Ballroom, providing optimal visibility and safety.
There was a heavy emphasis on prayer throughout the rally. The attendees realized they were battling a preternatural force and that angelic assistance would be crucial. As a result, the Saint Michael’s Prayer, the Litany of Saint Joseph and the Holy Rosary were recited incessantly.
Furthermore, the TFP’s Holy Guardian Angels marching band was present in full force. The beautiful Marian and patriotic hymns they played could not have contrasted more with the Pentagram string band, which was scheduled to play only a few hours later.
This contrast was even more stark once the Satanists began to arrive. Most were dressed in all black and wore accessories, including pentagrams and devil horns.
It was saddening to hear them enraged at the prayerful protest. Many of them screamed “Hail Satan” and made demonic gestures with their hands.
However, the rosary rally participants were not perturbed by this. They knew that Saint Michael was vigilantly watching over their efforts, and that the devil would be powerless against the sons of light.
As they were mocked by the Satanists, their prayers only became louder. Additionally, they gave slogans like “Satan has no rights” and “Down with Satan, the Eternal Loser!”
This made it clear to everyone passing by that our rally was not an admission of defeat – it was a declaration of victory.
Satan Always Loses
Some might object that, since the event took place as scheduled, the protest failed.
However, this perspective fails to grasp the nature of this battle. This campaign was a victory for one main reason: every time faithful Catholics take a stand, Satan always loses.
The Satanic Temple’s end goal is to normalize the occult in America. They want to present themselves as just another acceptable voice in the public square. As soon as they are allowed to blaspheme without backlash, they have achieved their goal. That goal depends on silence.
But on May 1, there was no silence. There were bagpipes, drums and megaphones. There were rosaries and anti-Satanic slogans. There was an online petition drive that collected over 22,000 signatures.
This protest affirmed that Satanism is not a religion, but is an intrinsically evil doctrine that has no place in our country.
