Oh my. Satanism is rising! We need to act now before all is lost! Thank our magical sky daddy our new pope super hero has come to save the day. According to these articles the vatican has issued a new era of exorcism.

Really, as devout Satanist I’m laughing my ass off. Of course I can’t be bothered with catholic nonsense but this sure is hilarious. Again, they’ve got it all backwards. Their primary motivation behind all of this is the renewed interest in the occult. I think Dan Brown has helped this impulse, too.
Quoting Father Paolo Scarafoni:

Interest in Satanism and the occult had grown as people lost their faith in the Church. People suffer and think that the Devil can help solve their problems.

There’s the backwards view of the chatholics in one quote.

It’s the other way around, friend. People suffer and think your all powerful bearded cloudman has all the answers. They turn to the occult, which is the catholic church, to seek answers from this fairytale being. When they realise they can’t grab any answers out of the sky they turn to what they can see, leaving the catholic church. This is translated to the exact opposite by the catholics.

This does not mean people turn to Satanism all of a sudden. They’ve pulled that fact out of their christian asses. Many people still believe Satanism is about demons, devils and dark evil magic and such, while in fact catholicism is the religion claiming all these things to exist. So these exorcists can only “help” catholics get rid of their own fantasies. Exorcism is actually just a way to keep those who loose themselves in catholicism from leaving the church.

The other use of exorcism can be found in the fear tactics used by the catholic church. They prey upon the mentally weak and blame their illnesses to some devil. This provides “proof” for the existence of the devil, hell, and after exorcism, god. The exorcism shouldn’t be underestimated. For the victim it’s an emotional experience which can be potentially dangerous for the mental stability of the victim. It shows many parallels with the Satanic ritual because it uses the strenght of an emotional experience to achieve goals. The big difference is that the participant doesn’t take part in the ritual willingly but is forced to participate. It’s also questionable if the victim of this ritual actually wants to be part of the ritual. Some people are just mentally too unstable to clarify their needs. People have been known not to recover from an exorcism, that’s why the catholic church has practically banned the practice. Until now that is.

If all the bishops do what they’re told we should have real exorcists here in the Netherlands really soon. I’d like a session myself. I’m the antichrist after all. I can even quote the bible:

Who is the liar? It is the man who denies that Jesus is the Christ. Such a man is the antichrist–he denies the Father and the Son.
Many deceivers, who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh, have gone out into the world. Any such person is the deceiver and the antichrist.

The only thing I’ve got to do is act possessed and call the exorcist-hotline. I’m sure they want to drive out my devil. But beware, it’s a powerful one. Would I fit the description? I’m a Satanist, I really, really hate the catholic church and I can scream really loud. I’m not kidding here, I’m going to try to get an exorcism. Let’s just hope I don’t have to kill some priests before they’ll give me one.
