(In the words of the modern day text.)
Just when I imagined that the catholic church could not be any more appalling in their bigotry and narcissism, we hear from "Fr." Gabriel Amorth, who apparently is the vatican's "chief exorcist" with, he boasts, 70,000 exorcisms under his belt ! Speaking at a recent conference on "people and religion", Amorth ,who lists his favourite film as "The exorcist" (no shit there Sherlock! ) Has in his sights that dire and wicked of human satanic practices - Yoga ! It transpires that practising this "dark art" will lead people to Hinduism, one of the "terrible eastern religions" that are based on "false beliefs"(unlike his own common sense religion!) And will wind us all up in hell ! It is, he says, nearly as bad as that other wicked satanic practice of — "reading Harry Potter books!" — "They both lead to magic, which leads to evil." His advice to young people is to "watch out for nightclubs-because the path is always the same: alcohol, sex, drugs and satanic practices" Unlike his own religion which is based on arrogance, bigotry, narcissism, grandiosity ,fear, shame, guilt, and subjugation of human beings.
The same religion that harbours and protects pedophiles, responsible for the rapes and sodomising of innocent children, that lies to uneducated people about condoms, condemning many of them to death, is one of the richest organisations in the world, does not pay taxes, and yet tells other countries that their economic problems are due to greed! The same religion that holds itself up as the moral benchmark for the rest of the world, while disregarding the laws of every country it has it's tentacles in. The same religion that ,scarily, our Prime Minister says he looks forward to a closer co-operation. with!! Like I said at the beginning
WTF!!!
