No one expects the Vatican exorcism! Our main weapon is surprise, holy water….. Wait, our two main weapons are surprise, holy water and an almost fanatical devotion ….. Ok, among our chief weapons are surprise, holy water and an almost fanatical devotion to our new modern pope. Now submit before I have to use the comfy chair!

Well this is from the same Church that blamed homosexuals for the child molesters in their clergy. Go figure. I'm wondering if they are going to be out and about trying to sprinkle holy water and do exorcisms on folks who are Satanists, or into the occult or simply non-Catholic.

This gives new meaning to the term "ghost-busters". And are they saying there is a dramatic increase in demonic possession?

I think they should start with our government, I can just see an entire army of Catholic priest exorcists showing up at the White House, fighting off the legions of Flying Monkeys...

So, the world's problems stems from the rise of occultism,eh? Can anyone say bull#? It is really apparent what the world's problems stem from. Gross materialism and religious fanatics are the actual culprits,but I'll cease and desist. By the way, occultism and Satanism shouldn't even be uttered in the same breath. They are diametrical polar opposites.

As silly and as outdated as his plans may sound he does have a point, there is an increased interest in the occult and Godlessness is indeed rampant, just look at many of the threads here.

There are those that experiment with things they know nothing about, contact meta physical entities and in the process end up opening up doors they don't know how to close. This can be dangerous.

It is weird how things happen to those who believe, I mean doesn't demonic possesion only occur among Catholics and not others?

In the Philippines people really believe in the dwende, little people or Filipino-leprechauns that live in open fields. Apparently if you trample the ant mounds the dwende will be disturbed and you will be possesed.
Why does this only happen to filipinos?

I know we are all victims of our own beliefs but even this can be both a blessing and a curse.

Alxandro, that has been going on from the beginning of time. To say that that is at the "root" of the problems in this world is preposterous. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see who the real culprits are of the degradation of this world, and it damn sure isn't occultists.

IF they go with this plan I just wonder how much time will have to pass for the word "occultist" or "satanic" to change to "unbeliver" ...

I love this. If they came up to me I'd totally play along with it. I'd make it as dramatic as possible!

OMG! Heeemala lotu wang ranga ZARGGGGG *Demonic tongues* then I'd fall to the ground in convulsions and rise as the spirit of Christ... touching and hugging others gently as they walked by me in a scurry to get to work.

Just wait until the army of Satan gathers its excorcists... oh God, here we go. The comedy pedestal of Earth. I can't even take any of this seriously anymore. I just laugh.

Yet another anti-Catholic thread via budski. No surprise there.

So this is what ATS has come to ... a bunch of people with no understanding of a subject, sitting around with nothing better to do then to ridicule a christian church for practicing it's beliefs.

Ya'll SPOUT errors about that which you don't understand.
Ya'll SPEW anti-Catholic bigotry.
Ya'll RIDICULE those who practice their faith without hurting others.

How very noble and enlightened of you all.
Ya'll go ahead and keep rolling around in the mud.
The filth on the outside matches the ignorance on the inside.

I also agree with FlyersFan,

Everyone has their own methods of RELEASING THE DEMONS!

At least the vatican doesn't push pills and therepy on people.. yet?
