Father McrBrien of Notre Dame Says Exorcisms Are Dumb

Editor: Perhaps this is proof positive that Father is not only heretical, but possessed as well. He's eager to remind his readers of the *real* problems in the world which make a conference on exorcism by the US Catholic Bishops a laughable thing.

One of Father's correspondents squeels, "exorcism in 2010?". It may be difficult at this point to distinguish the genuine fear and gayity with contempt for the Church's power over evil.

[National Catholic Reporter] Many years ago, when the [i]National Catholic Reporter[/i] was a young newspaper, it ran a feature in the left-hand column of Page 1 that highlighted embarrassingly dumb items that had recently appeared in parish bulletins and other ecclesiastical documents.

If that feature were still active, I would have an entry to submit.
