Exorcism Today by Sarah Fulton

Our Prayers have been answered: Now you too can have an Exorcism performed on you! Roman Catholic Bishops and Priests have created a "mens only" club to plot against women and all others deemed as "possessed." Closed to the media, over 100 priests and bishops gathered for a conference that will teach them how to properly perform the religious rite after receiving over 400 inquires this year. It is interesting that with the state of our nation, and the amount of ridicule the Catholic Church has faced...forever, that this peculiar assembly was funded. Exorcism dates back to the beginning of Christianity itself, and along with its method and ideas, should never have gotten past the 1st Century. In every film containing exorcism, a young girl is always deemed as "damned." It began in 1973 in, you guessed it, "The Exorcist." It depicts its main female character as a rebel. She becomes open about sexuality and is reluctant to obey any authority figure or conform to any form of religion or law (Johnson). The theme of specifically obeying male authority runs rampant throughout the film. Every other movie made on Exorcism portrays almost this exact same thing. My overall question to the creators of this conference is WHY? Why are we concerned with bronze-age traditions that have no relevant meaning to our lives? Has the feminist movement meant nothing?
