Some might see this story as a struggle between good and evil . . .
Sorry, but TKC watched this drama unfold just as closely as any other news outlet and it kinda seems like a fight for publicity with one side having A LOT more fun than the other.
Here's an update that's very far from the final word . . .
A lawsuit filed by an Archbishop of the Archdiocese of Kansas City, Kansas demanding sacred items in the possession of Michael Stewart, founder and president of the Satanic Grotto, be handed over to the Church was dismissed Thursday in the District Court of Leavenworth County.
In the filing, Naumann contends that any and all consecrated hosts and consecrated wine are property of the Catholic Church. Citing the rules dictating who may administer a consecrated host, how and when, Naumann claims the Defendants “wrongfully detained” the sacred items.
The response is also worth a look for avid news readers . . .
Stewart says he responds to those accusations the same way they did in court:
“We didn’t do it,” he told 13 NEWS in a phone call Thursday afternoon.
Stewart says he would’ve thought the accusations were funny “because they’re almost explicitly written after Catholic doctrine and not and U.S. law,” if not for what he calls collusion between the Archdiocese of Kansas City, Kansas at the legislature. He accuses both of attempting to exclude the Grotto from public spaces due to their disdain for the organization.
