Satanism is a worship of the devil (Satan),
instead of God, and the belief that doing so
can bind a person to his power. The high
point of Satanism is believed to be the Black
Mass, a parody of the Christian Mass or
Eucharist. Accusations of Satanism are common
in times of social and religious
upheaval-such as the late 15th to late 17th
centuries in Europe when the authority of
first the Roman Catholic Church and then of
the various major Protestant churches was
questioned.
