A friendly reminder that not all Catholics have evil in their hearts. No doubt, there are wicked ones, but many truly seek holiness - in spite of horrible leaders.

For anyone who doesn’t know, Moloch was a god mentioned and referred to in the Old Testament. He may have belonged to the Canaanites, or to the Ammonites, or to any number of other early cults, but he was also one of the false gods that Israel would turn to during periods of apostasy.

Moloch’s sacramental base was in the Hinnom Valley which was pronounced in Hebrew as “Ge Hinnom” and was thus translated into Greek as “Gehenna.” It was there, just south of Jerusalem, that his cult worshiped him by human sacrifice.

And it was there that his followers built an altar-pyre containing his metal image: a human figure with an animal’s head. His arms were outstretched ready to receive children for sacrifice. A fire was started inside the image and the children sacrificed would roll from his arms into the fire pit below. During the sacrificial ceremony, flutes were played and drums beaten to drown out the cries of the victims as their mothers stood by.

God, the real one, wasn’t impressed. He told the Israelites in Leviticus (18:21): “You shall not offer any of your offspring to immolation to Moloch, thus profaning the name of your God.” A few lines later He warns about laying with a man as you would with a woman, but I digress; we’ll have to take that one up at another time.

When King Josiah halted the practice of child sacrifice and destroyed Moloch’s pyre at Topheth in the Hinnom Valley, it was written, “The king also defiled Topheth in the Valley of Ben-hinnom so that there would no longer be any immolation of sons or daughters by fire in honor of Moloch” (2 Kings 22:10).

Now it seems that God was not just unimpressed with child-sacrifice, He imposed a penalty on such activities. In chapter 20 of Leviticus he instructs Moses: “Tell the Israelites: Anyone, whether an Israelite or an alien residing in Israel, who gives offspring to Moloch shall be put to death. . . . If the people of the land condone the giving of offspring to Moloch, by failing to put the wrongdoer to death, I myself will turn against that individual and his or her family, and I will cut off from their people both the wrongdoer and all who follow this person prostituting themselves with Moloch.”
