Indiana priest astonished by skyrocketing demand for exorcisms: I get 20 calls a week!
That doesn't surprise me a bit considering there is so much promotion of that particular Catholic quackery, like in the popular TV show "The Exorcist" and generally there are few movies about exorcism every year - you know "Based on real events". It really should be outlawed to cheat people like that.
In the mean time pope Asshole 75th proclaimed that women will never be Catholic priests.

GREAT! Now if only he forbade it for men as well and we're finished with probably the most annoying religion forever!
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
