Running with the Devil

Written by Mark Baumgardner

While some will use this as yet another opportunity to mock the Catholic Church, I believe the Pontifical University in Rome is absolutely right on this one.

The university will hold a two-month “theoretical and practical” course for Roman Catholic priests on Satanism and exorcism.

The attitude toward Wicca in this country is that it is just one of many acceptable religions. Right here in Wisconsin, just a few years ago, we decided to appoint a Wiccan to be chaplain at the Waupun Correctional Institution.

Wicca is the single fastest-growing religion in America and it is also spreading in Europe. It is not fun and games, but downright dangerous. If the Church does not stand up to this, nobody else will.

Hey Religicon,

Perhaps you could explain why Wicca is dangerous. Although this would require you to make some sort of argument. What the HELL was your post about, and why should I care?
