Dear readers, Catholic Online was de-platformed by Shopify for our pro-life beliefs. They shut down our Catholic Online, Catholic Online School, Prayer Candles, and Catholic Online Learning Resources—essential faith tools serving over 1.4 million students and millions of families worldwide. Our founders, now in their 70's, just gave their entire life savings to protect this mission. But fewer than 2% of readers donate. If everyone gave just $5, the cost of a coffee, we could rebuild stronger and keep Catholic education free for all. Stand with us in faith. Thank you.

LOS ANGELES, CA (California Network) -- Fashion designer Dilara Findikoglu has caused scandal by booking a satanic fashion show at a London church. The show was part of London's ‽Fashion Week," and was held at the St. Andrew Holborn Church. The show featured women dressed as devils and vampires complete with upside down crosses and other satanic symbols.

Findikoglu is a Turkish designer. She told Vogue magazine that she has a fascination with the occult and with magic.


The former Bishop of Rochester, Michael Nazir-Ali warned that the show could mislead people causing them to "go where we don't want people to go."

He added that he thought Christians would be outraged, calling the show "blasphemous."

The church has apologized for the incident, saying it booked the show in good faith, and did not know the show was going to have a satanic theme.

The church added it would review its booking process to ensure something like this never happens again.

The designer has not made any apology.

All should understand that the devil is evil, and should not be glorified in any form.
