Pope's Exorcist Squads Will Wage War on Satan

According to an article in The Daily Mail, "The Pope has ordered his bishops to set up exorcism squads to tackle the rise of Satanism."

Rather than make light of this critical problem facing the world, I thought I would point out some key quotes from the article:

"Each bishop is to be told to have in his diocese a number of priests trained to fight demonic possession."

"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."

"We are being bombarded by requests for exorcisms."

"The Vatican is particularly concerned that young people are being exposed to the influence of Satanic sects through rock music and the Internet."

Thank goodness the Vatican has decided to confront this menace!
