HOUSE RESOLUTION No. 6016 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.
