I'd rather not toss out names. Sorry I said anything. It's pretty well known, though.

I get that, and I appreciate your trying to dig in, but I'm just not tossing names out. I will say this: The only information I have was from threads on ATS. Like I said, I shouldn't have said anything.

And if anybody for a moment tries to suggest that I don't have the authority to call up the army and have them put a bullet in the head of every single person who has ever engaged in child sacrifice, then I'll challenge you to try my patience.
The catholic church and a few other denominations of Christianity have been sexually abusing minors for centuries and yet today they still stand as respected religious institutions.

Lambasting the Church in and of itself isn't the way to go about this, but we are of course expected to recognise its failures and to put them right.
For the most important of all the Blessings of the Holy Spirit, is to distinguish between that itself and the unholy efforts of evil forces to destroy it.
And they did little, if anything to stop it. in fact, they covered it up to protect their own.
So why didn't your Holy Spirit protect the children from the 'corrupt, power hungry' men in positions of power? Why did your Holy Spirit allow children to be abused? Seems very, very weird.

The catholic church and a few other denominations of Christianity have been sexually abusing minors for centuries and yet today they still stand as respected religious institutions. These predators were not satanists,they weren't "fake" Christians these were adherents to your faith. This doesn't by any means condone the actions of other religious groups by any means in regards to this,however your religion has no moral high ground to condemn these actions while many to this day in the church continue to protect the abusers.
I'm also not buying into the "satanic" tag line. Child abuse is child abuse,the only reason you added that is to deflect away from the church's similar crimes... But hey whatever,believe whatever BS you wanna believe. None of this gets down to the root of the problem as to why sexual abuse of minors continues to occur. This is just more religious fear-mongering from the Shepard to rally the flock around...
A church used to mean the whole group or body, of a particular denomination, belonging to the same city, country, nation, etc. That has changed over the years to mean a building where the group meets. Since the center and focus of the groups has changed for community to a small few that promote the construction of a building, the church has lost its soul. The church no longer feeds the community, it is expected that the community feed the church. They shut out the community and they shut out God.
Just as each of us has one body with many members, and not all members have the same function, 5so in Christ we who are many are one body, and each member belongs to one another.

Add to this Pizzagate and it is clear that you are spot on in your assessment of this being an ancient religion that has spread itself across the globe.
Disturbing does not even begin to describe it.
