Lucifer's Lodge: Satanic Ritual Abuse in the Catholic Church
by William H. Kennedy

Preface

Looking for Lucifer’s Lodge

            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 that
the 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.
