A RESOLUTION denouncing the planned satanic worship ritual, the so-
called "black mass," on the grounds of the Kansas state capitol,
scheduled to take place on March 28, 2025.
WHEREAS, The United States of America is one nation under God,
founded upon principles that recognize the importance of faith,
morality and the common good; and
WHEREAS, The Kansas House of Representatives acknowledges and
respects that the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United
States guarantees all citizens the right to assemble and the freedom of
speech, even as it expresses its profound disagreement with actions
that mock or desecrate sacred beliefs; and
WHEREAS, The planned satanic worship ritual is an explicit act of anti-
Catholic bigotry and an affront to all Christians. It blasphemes our
shared values of faith, decency and respect that strengthen our
communities: Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives of the State of Kansas:
That we denounce the planned satanic worship ritual scheduled to take
place on the grounds of the people's house, the Kansas state capitol
grounds, on March 28, 2025, as a despicable, blasphemous and
offensive sacrilege to not only Catholics but all people of goodwill,
and it runs contrary to the spiritual heritage of this state and nation;
and
Be it further resolved: That we call upon all Kansans to promote unity,
mutual respect and the values that uphold our identity as one nation
under God; and
Be it further resolved: That we call upon Kansas Governor Laura Kelly to
condemn the stated activity and its implicit use of stolen property; and
Be it further resolved: That the Chief Clerk of the House of
