Ending 35 Years of the Vilest Broadcasting on the Radio

We as faithful Catholics from New Jersey and around the United States are committed to ending the Satanic, anti-Christian and violently obscene broadcasting coming from Seton Hall University’s radio station, WSOU.

This problem started under the leadership of the former Archbishop of Newark, homosexual predator Theodore McCarrick, when WSOU adopted an extreme music format in 1986. Despite public outcry and two highly publicized bans over the years, Catholic Seton Hall and the Archdiocese of Newark have allowed this to continue and grow more extreme over 35 years.  After multiple internal reviews of standards in 2019 and 2020, which were driven in part by a letter and report to the Pope made available to Cardinal Tobin by the Apostolic Nuncio to the United States, Seton Hall’s radio station continues to regularly air satanic and violently anti-Christian material. Since Cardinal Tobin’s reception of the report, WSOU has aired material promoting Satanism, witchcraft, the occult, rape, genocide against Christians, blasphemy against the Eucharist, political violence, heinous violence against women and children, and the black mass. The university has bred a perniciously evil subculture at the station that is overtly hostile to Christ – one the university, its Board of Trustees and the Board’s Chair, Cardinal Tobin have been unwilling to remove. By continuing to air this material in New York City and northern New Jersey, America’s largest media market, Seton Hall has made itself once again a disgrace to Christ’s Church and a threat to many young souls inside and outside their university environment.  For that reason, through unyielding faith filled prayer and action and reliance on Jesus Christ, His Blessed Mother Mary and the power of the Holy Rosary, we are advancing our mission to ensure with persistently increasing chastisement, pressure and publicity, that the Archdiocese of Newark, Cardinal Tobin, the USCCB and the Vatican accept public responsibility for this long standing abomination and end it by shutting down WSOU, completely and permanently. Our campaign will not end until WSOU is gone.  Join us. Our Lady of Victory, pray for us.

Is Cardinal Tobin’s Flagship Diocesan Catholic University Really Broadcasting Satanism?

One would think Seton Hall University would have standards preventing the airing of Satanism on its radio station, WSOU.  But this is a university where its Seminarians were served up to Theodore McCarrick for sexual exploitation.  Organizations capable of this level of corruption are generally dominated by influences that upend norms of moral behavior.  Still it may be hard for some to believe this “Catholic” institution is regularly airing Satanism, more than two years after all the responsible parties were formally informed.

We’ve accumulated an extensive archive of WSOU’s broadcast history, including recordings.  Some of them are presented here on ShutDownWSOU.com.  Individual song recordings are accessed directly as part of hour long archived blocks which also include WSOU station identification.  These are available both on our evidence page and in the posts on our blog. Among the examples provided are Dimmu Borgir’s “The Serpentine Offering”, which is an explicit call to satanic worship by an openly satanic band and Myrkur’s “Måneblôt” (Moonblood), about ritual sacrifice of a newborn child. Other examples include Whitechapel “When a Demon Defiles a Witch”, Windhand and Satan’s Satyrs “Old Evil” which calls on the listener to kneel and surrender to evil, Candlemass “Bewitched” which starts out “Can you see the devil in me?” and goes on to describe the listener being lured into submission to Satan, Electric Wizard Black Masses, examples of transgressive deviance intended to defile the sacredness of the Holy Mass and Opeth “The Grand Conjuration” which is an explicit invitation to satanic possession.

Cardinal Tobin has refused to use his authority to stop this, as has Seton Hall President Joseph Nyre.  We are in a spiritual war to end this diabolical evil and shut down WSOU, one that will end when WSOU is gone.  The Cardinal’s position is untenable. St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle.
