Oklahoma City is getting hundreds of complaints about the “black mass” being staged by satanists Sept. 21 at Civic Center Music Hall.

Mayor Mick Cornett’s office received more than 450 e-mails and calls between Wednesday and Sunday opposing the event, and the Civic Center fielded about 200 complaints, said Kristy Yager, the city’s spokeswoman.

Catholic Archbishop Paul Coakley criticized the event last week, calling it “a satanic inversion and distortion of the most sacred beliefs not only of Catholics, but of all Christians.”

Coakley said city leaders should reconsider allowing the presentation in a public building.
