Pope Says: We Need More Exorcists

The Pope has ordered his bishops to set up exorcism squads to tackle the rise of Satanism. Vatican chiefs are concerned at what they see as an increased interest in the occult.

They have introduced courses for priests to combat what they call the most extreme form of "Godlessness." Each bishop is to be told to have in his diocese a number of priests trained to fight demonic possession.

The initiative was revealed by 82-year-old Father Gabriele Amorth, the Vatican "exorcistinchief," to the online Catholic news service Petrus.

"Thanks be to God, we have a Pope who has decided to fight the Devil head-on," he said.
Phew... At last the catholic church are using their money for "good". None of that praying crap that costs nothing, I want to see millions spent training Priests to cast out imaginary demons from people who are more than likely either attention seekers or mentally ill!

I wonder, Will people be subjected to this nonsense voluntarily? Or will the local priest decide who gets "exorcised"?

  2. I doubt they're joking, I mean I've met a pair of camp counselers who were saying that one of the innocent kids they were taking care of had been possessed by the devil. So they took her outside and made her say Jesus's name to exorcise the demon, when in reality she was just throwing a tantrum. It's what kids do people, not devil work.
