Pope's exorcist squads will wage war on Satan

[Foxy Brown]

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.

Hey, most of my family is catholic... and so are many of my friends. I'm supposed to be catholic, well baptised as one at least. I don't really agree with a lot of the things catholics preach about, I know enough to respect their faith.

When there's a large concentration of certain types of people, it's always strange for people who aren't used to the environment. But you can't call them all crazy since that's just the way they were brought up


Back on topic, I think the whole exorcist squad thing is pretty dumb. Just because people choose to be satanists doesn't mean they're possessed by demons... but I guess they believe that anything unchristian is the work of the devil...

that pic is hilarious though

Huuuiiiiii...Hot topic

I'm not in the church anymore, since the only reason to be in this "institution" is to pay taxes.
I had the feeling, my only role to be "oficial" christian was to pay for it, not more.

I was picked by some people for dropping out of church, so I have the right to pick back
Don't take my statement too serious. But people here still live in another period, thats what I meant.

"The devil is pure spirit, invincible. He is shown with the painful blasphemies coming from the person which he possesses. He can stay hidden. He can speaks different languages. He can transform himself," Amorth says.

Interesting.
Now if they could publish a book based on the exorcist squad members' experiences, it would be nice.

Am I the only one who thought "Ghostbusters" when I saw this?

The Pope's Exorcist squad. Are the Ghostbusters.

With exorcism booming in Poland, Roman Catholic priests have joined forces with a publisher to launch what they claim is the world's first monthly magazine focused exclusively on chasing out the devil.

"The rise in the number or exorcists from four to more than 120 over the course of 15 years in Poland is telling," Father Aleksander Posacki, a professor of philosophy, theology and leading demonologist and exorcist told reporters in Warsaw at the Monday launch of the Egzorcysta monthly.

Ironically, he attributed the rise in demonic possessions in what remains one of Europe's most devoutly Catholic nations partly to the switch from atheist communism to free market capitalism in 1989.

"It's indirectly due to changes in the system: capitalism creates more opportunities to do business in the area of occultism. Fortune telling has even been categorised as employment for taxation," Posacki told AFP.

"If people can make money out of it, naturally it grows and its spiritual harm grows too," he said, hastening to add authentic exorcism is absolutely free of charge.

I wonder what the first week of sales will be on the magazine
