The Devil is living in the Vatican, says the Pope’s chief exorcist

[Emit]

You can’t make this stuff up.

At one time you might have thought what you’re about to read was an extreme looney-toon statement, but given the vortex of evil coming to light—the criminal pedophile priest protection enterprise sitting at Benedict’s door of responsibility, the pimping out of undocumented immigrants, members of the Vatican choir, Papal Gentlemen and seminarians...it’s like a bad novel come to life.

Well, this story is like a novel, The Exorcist. The Vatican’s exorcist-in-chief, who was the basis for the priest in the film, thinks there’s evil inside those walls and he’s not shy about saying it.

In the last few months, the Catholic Church have been rocked by a series of sex scandals in Ireland, Holland and, most recently, Germany.

Even the Pope’s brother, Father Georg Ratzinger, has admitted he hit choir boys.

Italian priest Fr Amorth said: “His Holiness fully believes in casting out evil.

”The Devil lives in the Vatican. Naturally it’s difficult to find proof but the true consequences are visible.

“We have cardinals who don’t believe in Christ, bishops connected with demons. Then we have these stories of paedophilia. You can see the rot when we speak of Satan’s smoke in the holy rooms of the Vatican.”

Does this mean the Devil really does wear Prada!?

UPDATE: This story is traveling like wildfire. It’s in the New York Daily News with a photo of the exorcist that is truly frightening, as in “the power of Christ compels you” creepy.

1. Religion is responsible for so much pain and suffering in human history as it

continues to be today.

2. Damn!

I was just enjoying a nice, hot bowl of green pea soup. When I saw that picture I spewed a whole mouthful on the floor and walls.

3. Exposing the true corruption of Rome has been 1700 years coming

and I hardly dare to hope it's finally here.

Their strategy of cursing women to remove scrutiny from themselves does seem to be breaking down, though.

4. I wonder if Bobby Jindal will be called in as a consultant.

6. I'm sorry, but the nose hair is off-putting.

Just sayin'.

[Jackpine Radical]

10. That's not nose hair.

It's an in-nostril demon filter.

[saltpoint]

12. LOL.

[Jackpine Radical]

15. I confess I'm not sure whether it's intended to keep the demons out

or in.

17. lol!

Demon hair.

9. Everything is the fault of the devil

Yeah, but of his 70,000 exorcisms the questions are what is the recidivism rate and how many of those have to have do overs?

The devil dances on

11. You know what happens when you don't pay the exorcist?

You get repossessed.

[lunatica]

13. Hahahaha!

But... but... but.... the check is in the mail! Now I'll have to do another dispossession...
