Looking for a new career?

Trying going to Exorcism school! Travel, meet people with very interesting problems, battle Satan, provide much needed help to those who are possessed, and best of all, the school has been approved by the Catholic Church (so you know it must be right)!

Ritual of Dealing With Demons Undergoes a Revival

...

The Rev. Andrzej Trojanowski, a soft-spoken Pole, plans to build a "spiritual oasis" that will serve as Europe's only center dedicated to performing exorcisms. With the blessing of the local Catholic archbishop and theological support from the Vatican, the center will aid a growing number of Poles possessed by evil forces or the devil himself, he said.

...

About 70 priests serve as trained exorcists in Poland, about double the number of five years ago. An estimated 300 exorcists are active in Italy. Foremost among them: the Rev. Gabriele Amorth, 82, who performs exorcisms daily in Rome and is dean of Europe's corps of demon-battling priests.

...

"This is a service which is sorely needed," said Jankowski, who holds a doctorate in spiritual theology. "The number of people who need help is intensifying right now."

...

Exorcists said the people they help can be in the grip of evil to varying degrees. Only a small fraction, they said, are completely possessed by demons -- which can cause them to display inhuman strength, speak in exotic tongues, recoil in the presence of sacred objects or overpower others with a stench.

...

Trojanowski is a priest in the northwestern Polish port city of Szczecin. He said that he sees as many as 20 people a week who are under the influence of evil spirits, but that he needs more space to treat them properly. At his exorcism center, he said, people could check in for a few days and receive ministrations.

Speaking in tongues again?
 
In a world where mental health care is almost absent, religion steps up with to fill in the vacuum with a perspective that there are evil supernatural entities out there that are trying to enter our bodies and make us do things. I hate them.

...Don't get on that ship! The rest of the book, "To Serve Man", it's... it's a cookbook!
 
I'm just having a hard time visualizing this stuff in a classroom setting.

"The power of Christ compels you...TO DO YOUR HOMEWORK!"

Satan! Get thee hence.

In the Name of the Father, I command you!
 
Even for religions, this is an embarrasing religion.

I can always take comfort in how close we are to the rest of the apes, the chimps, cats, and dogs.
 
Unreal. To think people were getting pissed off at me in one of the Scientology threads for suggesting they still did crap like this. How dare I compare a major religion to a cult!
