A Rumor of Devils: Allegations of Satanic Child Abuse & Mormonism - Dr. Massimo Introvigne | Ep 1318

As part of our ongoing series on claims of Satanic Ritual Abuse within the Mormon Church, today we interview Dr. Massimo Introvigne, an Italian sociologist and the author of some 70 books on religious pluralism and new religious movements.

Dr. Introvigne is author of the article: A Rumor of Devils: Allegations of Satanic Child Abuse and Mormonism, 1985-1994, a paper read at the Mormon History Association in Park City, Utah on May 21, 1994. In today's episode we review the highlights of this article.

He was until 2016 professor of Sociology of Religions at Pontifical Salesian University in Torino, Italy. He has written articles inter alia for Dialogue and BYU Studies. In 2011, he served as the Representative for combating racism, xenophobia and religious intolerance of the OSCE, the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe, in which the USA and Canada are also participating states.
