Catholic Bishop Thomas Paparazzi is going to exorcize evil,or the devil, or demons, from Lincolnland this Wednesday at about the same time the Governor signs the gay-marriage bill into law. Of course Bishop Paparazzi was bleating the usual silliness about the destruction of marriage, religious freedoms, and so on. This event will demonstrate the power of prayer, a bishop’s prayer no less. The bill will become a law and gay people will get married, and our dear bishop will have demonstrated the impotence of his prayers. This assumes that the devil is real, and that demons are real, and that prayer is effective, and evil can be exorcized by certain ancient rights. Of course, if the bishop really did manage to exorcize evil, how many pedophile priests would disappear from Lincolnland? At the same time some diocese here abouts was in the news for getting some relic, some piece, a bit of something gross, of a former pope, and thereby worthy of veneration. Zounds! Would someone please tell the Catholics what century we’re in?
