Abp. Cordileone condemns abortion as ‘satanic worship,’ LGBT ideology as ‘demonic’

  Attacks on the family are 'demonic,' the archbishop said.

The pagan worship of the false god “Moloch” is similar to the worship of abortion today, the archbishop of the Archdiocese of San Francisco said at the March 25 conference.

Pagan worship is “in a certain sense, in a new kind of way, reviving now, and it is part of satanic worship, the abortion and sacrificing [of] children,” the archbishop said. He noted that the Satanic Temple challenged Texas’ novel pro-life heartbeat bill that allowed for private lawsuits against individuals who facilitated abortions. It has also challenged pro-life laws in Indiana and Missouri.

Cordileone also called the the push by pro-LGBT activists to erase the differences between men and women “demonic.”

“So, see, this is wiping out the image of God from the face of the Earth. So it’s not kind of rhetoric or poetic exaggeration to call it demonic; it literally is. So we have to engage. We have to engage in other ways too: political activism and educational… All that, but most of all through our spiritual arms,” he said.
