Next week, once Gov. Pat Quinn signs the gay marriage bill in Illinois, Bishop Thomas John Paprocki will perform a special exorcism against the homosexual demons in the state.
Yes, Bishop Poppycock is going to save the sinners of Illinois with his prayers of Greyskull. He even released a statement about it. Here's some of it:
Bishop Paprocki noted, “The pope’s reference to the ‘father of lies’ comes from the Gospel of John (8:44), where Jesus refers to the devil as ‘a liar and the father of lies.’ So Pope Francis is saying that same-sex ‘marriage’ comes from the devil and should be condemned as such.”This is some Flaming mess. Really, Bishop? Exorcism? I hope Pzuzu comes for him.
The prayers for “Supplication and Exorcism Which May Be Used in Particular Circumstances of the Church” are taken from the Appendices to the 2004 Latin edition of the Rite of Exorcism, the introduction to which explains, “The presence of the Devil and other demons appears and exists not only in the tempting or tormenting of persons, but also in the penetration of things and places in a certain manner by their activity, and in various forms of opposition to and persecution of the church. If the diocesan bishop, in particular situations, judges it appropriate to announce gatherings of the faithful for prayer, under the leadership and direction of a priest, elements for arranging a rite of supplication may be taken from [the texts provided in these appendices].”
You have to remember while Pope Francis may be looking for reconciliation, the Bishops and Cardinals of which he is one, were mostly all appointed by either John Paul II or Benedict XVI, both rather conservative popes.

Any prayers of exorcism for thousands of priests? No? Damn.
