"All the same, it's a mean subject to handle." "It certainly is, but happily the documents are abundant. Satan was terrible to the Middle Ages " "And to the modern." "What do you mean?" That Satanism has come down in a straight, unbroken line from that age to this." "Oh, no; you don't believe that at this very hour the devil is being evoked and the black mass celebrated?" "Yes." "You are sure?"
Now, having regard to the narrative of Dr Bataille, and having regard to the statements set forth in my second chapter, it is obvious that Miss Vaughan is a witness of the first importance as to whether there is a Masonry behind Masonry, which, more or less, manages, or attempts to manage, the entire society, unknown to the rank and file of its initiates, however high in grade; as to whether its seat is at Charleston, with Albert Pike for its founder, and as to whether its doctrine is anti-Christian, and its cultus that of Lucifer, supported by magical wonders, concerned with sacrilegious observances, and either a disguised Satanism, or drifting in that direction.
Shall we grant Satanism? Well, gross as it is, it seems a sure thing. And if it is, and one is consistent, one must also grant Catholicism for Buddhism and the like are not big enough to be substituted for the religion of Christ." "All right. Believe." "I can't. There are so many discouraging and revolting dogmas in Christianity "
"To think that a century of positivism and atheism has been able to overthrow everything but Satanism, and it cannot make Satanism yield an inch." "Easily explained!" cried Carhaix. "Satan is forgotten by the great majority. Now it was Father Ravignan, I believe, who proved that the wiliest thing the Devil can do is to get people to deny his existence."
"Unless a community is rotted by a superior given over to Satanism, which, thank God, is rare, the filthy stories told by that writer are false, and there is moreover a good reason why it should be so, for there is a sin which is the very antidote of the other, the sin of zeal." "What?"
The Satanism which he exhibits in Masonry is an imputed Satanism, and as to any actual Devil-Worship he reproduces as true the clever story of Aut Diabolus aut Nihil, which appeared originally in "Blackwood's Magazine," and has since been reprinted by its author, who states, what most people know already, that it is entirely fictitious.
"I have promised myself to return every month to register the slow but sure progress of these people toward the tomb." "Oh!" cried Mme. Carhaix. "And you will claim," said Durtal, "that you aren't Satanic?" "See, Carhaix, he's at it already. He won't even give us time to get our breath, but must be dogging us about Satanism.
He remained awed by the turn the conversation had taken. He sought, mentally, a way of getting back to the subject from which Hyacinthe had diverted him, of the Satanism of Canon Docre. "Well, let us think of that no more," she said, coming very near. She smiled, and was once more the Hyacinthe he knew. "But if on my account you can no longer take communion " She interrupted him.
He very fairly fulfils the presumption which is warranted by his name; he does not pretend to have come forth from the turbid torrent of Satanism and Masonry which is carrying multitudes into the abyss and effacing temples and thrones in its furious course. He has been content, like a sensible person, to stand on bank or brink and watch the rage and flow.
"They cut children's throats and mixed the blood with ashes, and this paste, dissolved in liquid, constituted the Eucharistic wine." "You bring us right back to Satanism," said Durtal. "Why, yes, as you see, I haven't strayed off your subject." "I am sure Monsieur Des Hermies has been saying something awful," murmured Mme.
