2/18/05 - Vatican University Debuts Satanism Classes

ROME (CNS) -- The devil is real and can possess people, but it does not happen as often as many people think, said two Italian exorcists.
When a person who thinks he or she is possessed approaches a priest looking for help, they said, the priest must know enough about possession to know whether a simple prayer is called for or whether he needs to refer the person to a psychologist or to the diocesan exorcist.

To prepare priests and future priests to help people in those situations, Rome's Regina Apostolorum university -- run by the Legionaries of Christ -- inaugurated a course on Satanism and exorcism Feb. 17.

Your post sounds very similar to the ones we receive from bitter anti-catholics who are angry that we are happily catholic. Unfortunately, in both case, we do not have the time to sit at the computer and debate/discuss because we have busy "offline" lives to live. I am sure there are sites, other than ours, that are more suited to your needs.

In other words, you want to prevent people from seeing other points of view and making up their own minds? What specifically "do you not agree with? The true reality behind the facade?"

Unfortunately, that is part of the Legion's strategy. Control the flow of information. Disagreement or debate are not possible because the LC is 'a priori' beyond reproach or questioning. Make use of "useful idiots." Lie, deceive, manipulate, all in the name of God and the Church. Don't let your conscience be troubled... the LC loves you.

I feel very sorry for you and your family and friends in the LC. Do ask them to summarize the steps of RC recruitment for you. Ask if rules can be bent or broken for wealthy members if you have the cash to spare. Make sure the visitation and contact rules are relaxed for someone so helpful as yourself - you deserve it.

Concerend, thanks for the tip but we prefer not to advertise a website we do not agree with. Sorry if you've been hurt but we've had the opposite experience - personally and with family and friends in LC.
