In this week’s Underground, Michael J. Matt looks at the resurrection of the Prince of Darkness in 2025. After a half-century of holy war, why did the Catholic Church surrender to the gods of wasteland? Pearce Morgan hailed Ozzy Osbourne as a cultural icon, but 25 years ago, the Cardinal Archbishop of New York warned the world that Ozzy’s music posed a diabolical threat to the common good.
So, what happened? Why has the world embraced the Prince of Darkness it once condemned to hell? What has changed, and is there a connection between the Modernist revolution in the Catholic Church and this 900-pound gorilla in the parlor?
