Pssst. Where the devil is the exorcists convention?
Reuters, UK
VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - Orthodontists have national conventions, as do lawyers and computer salespeople. So, some might say, why not exorcists?

At the end of his weekly general audience on Wednesday Pope Benedict greeted Italian exorcists who, he disclosed, are currently having their national convention, presumably in Rome.

The Pope encouraged them to "carry on their important work in the service of the Church."

Problem was, that until the Pope spoke, few people outside the inner circle knew that a convention of Beelzebub busters was going on, presumably in Rome.

And where are they holding it? A church, a hotel, a graveyard?

"They try to keep these things quiet," said a Catholic professor who has dealings with exorcists.

1. Georgetown...
up a long flight of steps in a quaint old apartment building.

6. Whenever people come to visit me, the Exorcist steps is
one of the places they want to see along with the Air & Space Museum, White House, and Vietnam Memorial.

5. Yup. If I was in the process of looking like a fool I'd be quiet too. (nt)
