I have yet to complete reading the novel but I have decided to read the entire introductory chapter with the description of the enthronement of Lucifer in two parallel rituals in 1963.

I may have more to say about the book when I have completed it.

Let me say at the outset that I am not a Catholic and am not comfortable with traditional Catholic dogma. I am also not a fundamentalist Protestant either.

But neither am I am humanist. Whilst I still find a lot in Fr. Martin that makes me uncomfortable the book itself I have found compelling and has gone a long way to help me to find answers as to how we could have found ourselves in the midst of such Darkness. 

Now I have to turn to other sources like the Book of Revelations in the Bible. For a few years I have been aware of videos that purported to be an invocation to Lucifer in the Catholic church.

For instance, one of Rome’s many prayers which is chanted at official gatherings is:

Flammas eius Lucifer matutinus invéniat
ille, inquam, Lucifer, qui nescit occásum
Christus Fílius tuus,
qui, regréssus ab ínferis, humáno géneri serénus illúxit,
et vivit et regnat in sæcula sæculórum.

Which translates:

His Flame dawning His own creation
May I say O’Lucifer, who knows no setting
Christ, your son,
Who came back from the dead and shed his peaceful light to the human race.
And is alive and reigns forever and ever.

The modern Catholic church explains that Lucifer is "a Latin word derived from the roots lux (light) and ferre (to carry). It means “light bearer” or “light bringer,” and it was not originally used in connection with the Devil."

Lucifer was also used "as a name for the Morning Star (i.e., the planet Venus), because this is the brightest object in the sky other than the sun and the moon".

All quite benign it would seem.

But that would beg the question why traditional Catholics such as Fr. Martin insist on referring to Lucifer as a fallen Angel - something that was always my understanding. 

Also, why would "the Morning Star"  be invoked in a ceremony that is described in the chapter from his book that I have read in full.?

Apparently, Lucifer's name appears  in Isaiah Chapter 14, but I have seen this as a mistranslation of the Hebrew.

After my reading of Fr. Martin I will go with the explanation of Lucifer as a proud and demonic spirit associated with the anti-Christ.
