Bill Summary
A RESOLUTION denouncing a satanic worship ritual on the grounds of the Kansas state capitol that is scheduled to take place on March 28, 2025.
AI Summary
This resolution strongly condemns a planned satanic worship ritual scheduled to occur on the Kansas state capitol grounds on March 28, 2025, which the Kansas Senate views as an act of anti-Catholic bigotry and a desecration of sacred beliefs. While acknowledging the First Amendment rights of freedom of speech and assembly, the resolution denounces the ritual as offensive and contrary to the spiritual heritage of Kansas and the United States. The resolution further condemns recent vandalism at St. Patrick Parish in Wichita, including damage to statues, candles, and an American flag, and calls upon Governor Laura Kelly to condemn the activity. The Senate also urges all Kansans to promote unity, mutual respect, and shared values that uphold the nation's identity as "one nation under God". As a formal legislative action, the resolution was sponsored by multiple senators and will have an enrolled copy sent to specific senators, serving as an official statement of the Kansas Senate's position on this matter.
