Vatican increases excorcisms?

December 29th, 2007 by Chris

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.

    Are you all aware of the fact that it was these same Catholics who were the guardians of your dogma no matter which Christian cult you belong to? These were the nuts that decided which material was inspired by the “good demon” and which came from the “bad demon”. It is all too much; shall we see a return to the dark ages or will we see a return to sanity?

    Wow. Wish I could make head or tail out of that comment.
