I witnessed firsthand the most extreme hatred for the Catholic Faith and Our Lord Jesus Christ in the Holy Eucharist I’ve ever seen in our country.
On March 28, 2025, Kansas state authorities permitted members of “The Satanic Grotto” to conduct a satanic Black Mass ritual at the Kansas State Capitol Building.
While over five hundred faithful Catholics were praying the Holy Rosary in reparation, I approached the east side of the Capitol Building with my camera and my prayers.
About thirty black-clad satanists stood facing a fold-up table where Michael Stewart, head of “The Satanic Grotto,” vociferated “Hail Satan” cries and blasphemies.
At about 11:00 a.m., in mock imitation of the elevation of the Eucharist in the Catholic Mass, Stewart lifted a large white host above his head as he spewed vile insults to Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament.
Breaking the Host, at a certain moment, he threw it on the ground and proceeded to stomp on it as the satanists began to cheer.
Furious, I was praying for God to intervene in some way to stop this sacrilegious outrage. After stomping on the Host twice, a bearded man in a black t-shirt who was standing off to the side adroitly approached the area, dove on the ground and secured the fragments of the Host.
A struggle ensued as the satanists tried to take the host fragments away from the brave man, who was presumably able to consume them since they could no longer be seen.
Michael Stewart began punching the gentleman violently with full force on the back of his head. The modern-day Saint Tarcisius covered his head and neck as best he could with his hands.
A fully masked satanist tried to drag and turn the man, who was face down on the ground. At this point, the police arrived and separated the satanists from the Eucharist defender.
Stewart was mobbed by reporters and tried to play the victim, saying that the man tackled him. Another reporter asked him what he was doing with the Host, to which he replied that he was “desecrating the Eucharist.”
As I stepped away from the scene, I was overcome with both indignation and gratitude. The indignation was caused by the fact that Our Lord could be thus outraged again on the steps of a State Capitol Building like He was on the steps of Pontius Pilate’s Praetorium two thousand years ago. I felt gratitude for the several hundred faithful Catholics who were there to make reparation for this unprecedented attack on the Faith and for the brave modern-day Saint Tarcisius who bravely rescued the Blessed Sacrament.
