The Devil Made Me Do It


Feeling a bit peevish lately?  Well, the Catholic Church is expanding its help to the masses.

If you live in Milan there is now a new hotline for folks who need exorcism advice, and not only that, the number of priests who perform exorcisms has doubled from six to twelve.

Monsignor Angelo Mascheroni is the diocese's chief exorcist and apparently quite a busy guy.

At least he knows that the parents calling about their possessed children are really just experiencing youthful rebellion.

Nevertheless, we find it alarming that in the twenty-first century parents automatically assume their teenagers are possessed by the devil when they smart mouth mom and dad.


Wondering if the number of mental health professionals in Milan has also doubled ....
