LATEST IN EXORCISMS
  Re-release of the 1973 movie "The Exorcist" in September is but one event
fueling a recent flurry of Satan-dispatching attempts.  The Catholic
Archdiocese of Chicago revealed in September 2000 that it had, for the first
time, appointed a full-time exorcist.  And the Vatican revealed in 
September that Pope John Paul II had failed in his own exorcism of a 19-year-
old woman after the church's chief exorcist had also failed.  And in July
investigative, the New York Post reported that the $1 billion annual
donations worldwide to the Universal Church of the Kingdom of God (Brazil-
based, but with 15,000 members in the United States) are made largely under
the church-created fear that such giving is the only way to obtain 
exorcisms.


- Obviously the Order of St. Cecil has some designs on the occult hotspot of
Chicago.
- Also, is there a con-man plutomancer running this church?
- What do you all make of this???
