Australian Satanist Lured Teenage Girls Using MySpace
24-year-old Daniel William Peckham created a MySpace blog titled Rookwood Gothic Society for the purpose of enticing young schoolgirls to the pleasures of Satanism. He has plead guilty to the charge of aggravated sexual assault and using the Internet to traffic in photos of nude underaged girls. He had managed to lure at least three girls to Sydney, Australia’s Rookwood Cemetery, the youngest of whom was 13-years-old. He wrote in his journal of his plans: “I’m going to turn Sydney into a big underage gang bang.” Even through his sentencing he remained unrepentant, saying he would “keep luring young girls into Satan’s loving embrace of carnal delights.”
You know, all it takes is one bad apple to spoil the bunch. As though it didn’t already have one, this news story gives Satanism a bad name. But you have to admire this guy’s commitment to being evil. Even while behind bars, he kept on communicating with young girls through e-mail. Such dedication! One wonders how he’ll apply himself once he gets to prison, where I understand the actual devils live. Where is your Dark Lord now, Peckham? Hey, maybe if you’re really lucky, you can pretend that you’re the 13-year-old! I’ll bet you’d be fetching in a tiny skirt. Of course, what exactly you’d be fetching is quite beyond me.

Founder of Catholic Opus Dei group focus of movie
By Mike Collett-White
LONDON (Reuters) - If Opus Dei had a rough ride in the blockbuster movie based on Dan Brown's "The Da Vinci Code," it looks set for an altogether more sympathetic portrayal in another film that deals with the Catholic organization.
British director Roland Joffe, renowned for Oscar-nominated "The Killing Fields" and "The Mission," is making "There Be Dragons," a film set during the Spanish Civil War that focuses in part on the life of Opus Dei founder Jose Maria Escriva.
Principal photography is complete, and Joffe is now in the editing room aiming to have the movie, which stars Bond girl Olga Kurylenko, ready for theatres by autumn next year.
Joffe originally intended to turn down a project which, owing to its religious theme and Opus Dei's controversial profile, promises to draw closer scrutiny than the average film.
In The Da Vinci Code, Opus Dei was cast as a secretive cult that resorted to murder to defend a fictional, 2,000-year-old Catholic cover-up. It has also been criticized by church liberals suspicious of its power and reach and by estranged members telling of coercion and corporal mortification.
But when he saw a video of Escriva addressing a large crowd, Joffe changed his mind.
The priest, who was made a saint in 2002, was asked by a Jewish girl if she should convert to Catholicism. Knowing it would upset her parents, Escriva told her that she should not.
"One of the things that impressed me a lot about Jose Maria was the fact that he saw that saintliness didn't require that you withdraw into a religious order, it didn't require that you become a priest," Joffe said on a recent conference call.
