Long known as Satan's Vatican, though massively more wealthy than the one in Rome, Harvard is hosting a Black Mass, or at least its Extension Cultural Studies Club is. This blasphemous parody of the Eucharist is set to take place on Monday, at Memorial Hall.

But don't worry, Christians, the devil-worshiping ritual that will be performed by the Satanic Temple of New York, isn't being held in order to scorn your faith but as an exercise in historical comparative religion. It's not really an act of worship but, well, you know, super-realistic performance art. Its promoters had this to say:
Our purpose is not to denigrate any religion or faith, which would be repugnant to our educational purposes, but instead to learn and experience the history of different cultural practices. This performance is part of a larger effort to explore religious facets that continue to influence contemporary culture.
It's just a performance. So that's alright then. A performance in which Christ and the Sacrament of the Altar are mocked and despised, all the while being watched over by the privileged leftist elite of what McCarthy called the "Kremlin on the Charles."

I'll leave you to consider if that's truly diabolic or not, but imagine the outrage that would roil the hallowed hall of academe if a similar performance was held against, say, feminist gender identity politics, or the prophet Mohammed.

The real Vatican's endowment stands at $1 billion and its annual budget at $300 million. Harvard, which is the Devil's Vatican, is endowed to the whopping tune of $30.7 billion and boasts a hefty budget of $3.7 billion.
