  Loneliness, according to Italian professor Carlo Climati, who will teach the course at Regina Apostolorum -- the loneliness of the juvenile Internet surfer. Thus while the "Church of Satan," which advertises itself as a mix of hedonistic philosophy with the rituals of black magic, claims to liberate its adherents (from traditional stuffiness), Satanism really does not cater to a thirst for freedom, says the Rev. Herzog. "Instead, it aims at a desire for dependency and thus enslaves," he goes on.

  Carlo Climati
  ...
  Carlo Climati is an Italian journalist who is mentioned in quite a few of the news articles I've seen about the Vatican's course on "Satanism and exorcism."(See my collection of links to articles about Exorcism, the Vatican, and the current Italian Satanic Panic on my page about Exorcism, "spiritual warfare," and anti-occultism.)
  
  In Rome on June 25, 2004, the Catholic news agency Zenit in published 5 Phases of an Adolescent's Slide Into Satanism: Interview With Journalist Carlo Climati.About this Zenit interview, Geifodd has sent me the following comments in email:
  ...
  CLIMATI: Naturally, one must not fall into the error of generalizing and condemning all rock music.
  ...
  CLIMATI: The third phase is the young person's purchase of music magazines that talk about his favorite singer.Lately, in certain rock periodicals, there is not just talk of music, but also of Satanism and esotericism.
  
  GEIFODD: Which rock periodicals?
  
  CLIMATI: Sometimes even addresses are given of Satanic sects or Internet sites of singers linked to the world of the occult.
  ...
  CLIMATI: So, in order to know more, the fourth phase is entered: the search on Internet.Starting from simple curiosity for the sites of Satanic rock singers, there is the risk of going to the pages of authentic sects, or discussion groups frequented by Satanists.
  
  GEIFODD: He does not mention what the "risks" of contacting authentic sects or Satanic discussion groups actually are.For instance, if he were to claim that people on these pages seduce young viewers into commiting crimes, he could easily be proven wrong.However, he doesn't seem to state any particular reason as to why it is a "risk."
  
  CLIMATI: In analyzing this phenomenon it is very important to examine it in depth.One must not stop at incidents of violence or macabre rites that are carried out in forests.
  
  GEIFODD: True; but one must not fixate upon them, either.
  
  CLIMATI: I want to stress especially the "Do what you feel like" idea, an invitation to moral relativism and a life without rules.It is man with his presumption who wants to usurp God's place and live under the standard of his own egotistical pleasure.
  
  GEIFODD: He conveniently forgets to mention that most forms of Satanism teach that we are ultimately responsible for our own actions.We may believe in moral relativism to a degree, but "living under the standard of our own egotistical pleasure" does not translate into mindlessly killing people.Obviously, if you kill people, you are detracting from your pleasure in the long run via the likelihood that you will eventually be put in jail for your crimes.
  
  CLIMATI: Moreover, at the base of Satanism is the death of hope.The invitation to withdraw into oneself and believe in nothing - in the fact that life is only a jungle in which the powerful triumph over the weak.
  
  GEIFODD: Perhaps he is thinking of LaVeyanism.But there are plenty of Satanists who believe in hope; these are most likely usually theistic.
  
  CLIMATI: Unfortunately, many young people seem to be fascinated by certain terrible philosophies.
  ...
  CLIMATI: The solution lies in accustoming young people to have a greater critical sense.
  ...
  CLIMATI: Otherwise, Satanic rock singers, imperturbable, will continue to hold the top spots in the charts.
  
  GEIFODD: What???

  Interview With Journalist Carlo Climati
  
  ROME, JUNE 25, 2004 (Zenit.org) - What do certain rock music and Internet groups, adolescent curiosity, and moral relativism have in common?
  
  They are all doors of access to Satanism for young people, warns Italian journalist and writer Carlo Climati.
  ...
  In this interview with ZENIT, Climati describes how adolescents get involved in Satanism and proposes ways to detect and prevent it.
  
  Q: How widespread is the phenomenon of Satanism among young people?
  
  Climati: It is certainly a phenomenon that is growing rapidly and is difficult to control.
  ...
  Climati: It is a process that takes place in "phases" and that can be easily explained because of young people's great familiarity with the new technologies and means of communication.
  
  The first phase generally consists of the simple and banal interest in a Satanic singer.First, a young person buys his CDs and is passionate about his music.But then he feels the need to know more about the singer.
  ...
  Climati: In analyzing this phenomenon it is very important to examine it in depth.
  ...
  Climati: The solution lies in accustoming young people to have a greater critical sense.
