Online Christian Website Tries To Distance Vatican From Real Exorcism Conference (And Fails Somewhat!)

Online Christian Website Tries To Distance Vatican From Real Exorcism Conference (And Fails)

On April 11th, a long and overly boring article appeared on a website called cruxnow.com, the author attempts to put the upcoming exorcism conference in Rome in context whilst also trying to distance the Vatican from the event.

Cruxnow.com advise us that the course 'covers a lot of ground, from the anthropological and social context of “Satanism” through the nitty-gritty of what an exorcist actually does.' It then goes on to explain that the media coverage of the annual event always includes 'a few mistaken assumptions and over-hyped conclusions.'

Whilst it may be true that people draw erroneous conclusions of exactly who attends the exorcism conference and also who is behind the organization, it is fairly obvious that this event draws undesirable elements from the Catholic Church and Vatican officials are often in attendance.

The viewpoint of our website is that exorcism within the Catholic Church and others is tantamount to nothing less that abuse of vulnerable adults.  Whilst of course some exorcists may be sincere in their wish to ease the discomfort that distressed individuals are experiencing, however, the conclusion that people are possessed by the devil is quite frankly ludicrous and the pursuit of Exorcism attracts thrill seekers from throughout the Church looking for excitement and also a honeypot for abusers, sexual, psychological and physical.

Our website actively campaigns for the abolition of such practices as the scope for abuse is just too huge.

One interesting morsel that the article in cruxnow.com throws up is that the exorcism conference is run by a group called  'the “Sacerdos Institute,” a program of priestly formation operated by the Legionaries, in partnership with a private Bologna-based foundation called the “Group of Socio-Religious Research and Information” that tracks New Age movements and the occult.'

A quick google search of  the “Group of Socio-Religious Research and Information” throws up results for 'scholarly articles' by said research group.  Among these 'intellectual papers' one finds titles such as
'The Socio-Religious Beliefs and Nature of the Contemporary Vampire Subculture,' 'Deviant Leisure: Rethinking “The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly,” and also Adolescent television viewing and belief in vampires.

At £25 GBP per article, your probably not going to bother purchasing such drivel, but for your average aspiring Catholic Exorcist, with options for stashing grot mags somewhat limited, they may find plenty of material in such articles to satisfy the needs of their onanistic pursuits!
