Pope Pushes For Return Of Dark Ages

What the Pope and Linda Blair Have in Common by Tommi Avicolli-Mecca‚ Jan. 03‚ 2008
I have to admit it, Pope Benedict XVI is an atheist’s dream come true. Not only is he a former member of Hitler’s Nazi Youth, but he once headed up the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, the modern-day version of the Inquisition (as in the mass slaughter of Jews and heretics.) He also used to lovingly refer to queers as “intrinsically evil.” The former Joseph Ratzinger now has a new cause: Exorcism. As in the classic 1973 horror movie featuring Linda Blair as a young girl possessed by the devil. Obviously no one told the pontiff it was only a work of fiction.According to London’s Daily Mail, Benedict XVI recently ordered his bishops to form exorcism squads in every parish (even San Francisco?!) to combat the rise in the practice of satanism allegedly encouraged by “rock music and the internet.” It seems that demonic possessions are on the rise.Father Gabriele Amorth, who is billed as the Vatican’s “exorcist-in- chief” (I’m not making this up), explained it this way: “Thanks be to God, we have a Pope who has decided to fight the Devil head-on. Too many bishops are not taking this seriously and are not delegating their priests in the fight against the Devil. You have to hunt high and low for a properly trained exorcist.”
