Well, does it count group exorcisms, or exorcism of the victims of gang-possesion?

But the teenxorcists would sell so much better in the US media market…

Ah, what we call a “legion scenario”.

Well, they are in Arizona, which I believe isn’t far from the US.

Does anybody else think Bob Larson looks like a somewhat chunkier version of Kurtwood Smith? “Now it’s time for the most important part of getting rid of your demon … my foot in your ass.”

Yeah, but he’s the chief exorcist. Probably spends all his time now reading reports, issuing permits and drawing up codes. That 70,000 is probably just the number of reports he’s had to file over the years.

Didn’t some of Sarah Palin’s daughters move to Arizona for a special project? Don’t two of the sisters looks like Palins? Hrmmmm…

Kind of feel sorry for the conserva-goth-Velma girl who was in a group shot but didn’t get her own photo like the rest. Lots of major warning signs going on with this lot. It appears that the demons of vanity and pride have already taken over the group.

“People who, like, read Harry Potter are embracing evil. For reading. But that Buffy show had the right idea, except she should have killed her friend when she started practicing witchcraft.”

I remember reading long ago (I mean 25 years ago or so) an interview of the exorcist of the archbishopric of Lyon who said he believed that a grand total of two of the cases he handled in his whole career were indeed demonic possession.

A bit more recently, the retiring exorcist of Paris mentioned he never saw any nor actually practiced the exorcism rites, his usual method being talking and praying together for a solution to whatever issue the person was having.  
So, do all demons congregate in Rome (and also around sexy teen-aged girls, but that’s a given)?
