Dear Tony:

With all due respect, if what you are saying is that you think a demonic invocation is actually happening and this is so-called proof of it, or that you suspect it, then I think the real question is why you are listening to anti-Catholic bigots and idiots? This should not cause you any pause at all. It is obviously that website you referenced and their misinterpretation of the prayer are the work lunatic bigots and maybe even mentally ill. There is nothing to be shocked about other than such idiots as these people exist on the planet. I am glad to know about them, by the way, because I am putting together a website to identify websites that are hateful to the Catholic Church. They will be included.

Anytime, and I mean anytime you see such outrageous attacks upon the Church it will be 100% of the time coming from some bigot or idiot either outside or inside the Church. Do not listen to it and do not let your faith be shaken or shocked even to the weight of a feather.

These people do not know Latin and assert the absurd. This prayer in the Easter Vigil Mass is NOT, I repeat, is NOT an invocation to Satan. Sheesh. Somebody needs to knock the bajebees out of these numbskulls.

The prayer properly, and officially, interpreted into English is:

May the Morning Star, which never sets find this flame still burning: Christ, that Morning Star, who came back from the dead, and shed his peaceful light on all mankind, your Son who lives and reigns for ever and ever.

Ya, that sounds like a prayer to Satan, all right. Good grief. Lucifer is Latin for Morning Star. This lucifer, this morning star, is identified in the prayer as Christ.

By the way, before the Rebellion of the Angels, the Angel Lucifer, was a Godly angel of God. Lucifer was his heavenly name. When the angels were tested Lucifer rebelled against God, his name was changed to Satan, his fallen name.

Thus, there is nothing nefarious or evil about the word lucifer. It simply means "morning star". Satanas (Satan), by the way means, "the deceiver, the enemy," to which he certainly is.

Satan no longer has title to the name "Morning Star". He is no longer Lucifer. Satan tries to steal the name Lucifer by his followers sometimes using that name in order to confuse people (like the owners of that website), but, Satan has no right whatsoever to the heavenly name Lucifer. He lost that moniker when he rebelled.

Christ is the only Morning Star that "never sets" and whose flame burns forever. This Morning Star of Christ is the only one who "came back from the dead." It is crystal clear that this is a prayer about Christ.

Since "Morning Star" in Latin is lucifer, and the prayer is in Latin, the word lucifer had to be used. This is not rocket science, but these people at that website appear to be a lot of nuts short of a fruitcake.

God Bless,
Bro. Ignatius Mary

P.S. I have briefly look over that website. These people are part of the Fatima Nut Brigade who think they know more then the Magisterium (in otherwords, liberals). I believe, and I mean I truly believe, that in my opinion, all those so-called Catholics who are part of the Fatima Nut Brigade, like Fr. Grunar, Fatima Crusader,  and others in that ilk, desparately need to visit a psychiatrist or an exorcist, or both.
