Archdiocese of Oklahoma City files suit against organizers of black mass

Last month I wrote about a satanic black mass, which is scheduled to be held in Oklahoma City in September. Earlier this month, Archbishop Coakley called for prayer and penance to avert the planned sacrilege. In addition to Holy Hours, Eucharistic Processions, and Benediction, the Archbishop is asking all Catholics to say the Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel now though September 29 (the Feast of the Archangels). Please join us in this prayer

Today, the Archdiocese filed a Petition for Replevin against the organizers, contending that the consecrated host that the organizer claims to possess "must have been procured, either by that person or by another, by illicit means: by theft, fraud, wrongful taking, or other form of misappropriation." Here is a link to the Petition.

Michael Caspino of Busch & Caspino (Irvine, Ca.) and Chris Scaperlanda of McAfee & Taft (OKC) represent the Archdiocese. Yes, I'm a proud dad.
