It seems that the Satanists at Harvard have chickened out. Students had planned to hold a black mass, with the New York–based Satanic Temple acting as consultants. A black mass, in case you didn’t know, has some mythic roots in the late Middle Ages but is basically a 20th-century bit of fakery, intended to mock Christians, particularly Catholics.
Reports as of this writing remain sketchy, but it seems the students hadn’t planned on a backlash, or for that matter nailed down a reliable venue, so when things got too heated, they ended up having drinks at a bar rather than conduct their ritual, which reportedly would have included a sacramental chalice full of semen.
