Pope Benedict encourages growing exorcism/church involvement
"The Pope encouraged them to "carry on their important work in the service of the Church."

<snip>

"A Vatican university announced last Thursday that for the second year running it will hold a course on exorcism and Satanism for Roman Catholic priests.

The course starts next month at the Regina Apostolorum, one of Rome's most prestigious pontifical universities, and this year participants can take it not only in person at the Rome campus but via videoconference from other Italian cities.

This, a university statement said, was because of great interest after last year's course, which was attended by nearly 130 people."

3. There's a procedural problem with your idea
First, you need a subject with a soul.

Clearly, Fuckface is a soulless creature, rejected even by Satan.

So, see?

2. I once dated an exorcist
Yes, he was a priest, and no, they're not really supposed to do what we did. Big deal.

His minor was in exorcism. As he said, "I don't get much work."

8. More like the Church inner circle has its priorities out of whack
as this is not meaningful in the day to day life of parishes.

9. The Vatican announced
a purge of Homosexuals and dissenters of American Priests and an increased interest in exorcism. What’s next... Witch trials?

Those filthy rich elitist bishops and the Pope are so out of touch with reality, they think they're living in the middle ages, or wish they did. I bet they fantasize about doing just that.
