...taste left in the mouth after a perusal of the Process' current Death Issue magazine, which reprints part of an "article" written by Manson, is not in the least pleasant. Robert DeGrimston, the founder of the Process, has published three books on war, supposedly based on the words of Satan, Lucifer, and Jehovah. Their violent language was carefully toned down in later editions after public pressure got a little too heavy...
Shakespeare probably intended Iago to be a kind of human devil in this play, but Ralph Pachoda's Iago, at times running away with the show, stretches his role almost into that of a Miltonic Satan, a villain so persistent in his rebellion, so singleminded in his misconceived passion for revenge, that he steals part of our sympathy almost against our will.

The services consist mainly of prayers, spontaneous dialogues and hymns, punctuated by guitars, gongs, drumbeats and incense. In the candlelit worship room, the goat's head and the cross share equal prominence. Christ's enmity with Satan, say the Processeans, will eventually be overcome by Christ's own dictum to "love thine enemy." For Processeans, that eventuality is near at hand, for they believe in the imminent end of the world...
