I know. And I have the greatest respect for His Holiness...but “Ratz” fits better with the “Zero Wing” parody.
Democrats, listen up!

I just found this at Catholic World News:
Vatican, Dec. 28, 2007 (CWNews.com) -
The Vatican has denied a report that Pope Benedict XVI (bio - news) plans a new emphasis on exorcisms.
In an interview with Italy's Petrus web site, which concentrates on Vatican affairs, Father Gabriele Amorth, the official exorcist of the Rome diocese, said that the Holy Father would soon undertake a new campaign to combat demonic possession.
"Thank God," said the Italian priest, "we have a Pope who has decided to confront the devil head-on."
Father Amorth-- who has gained a worldwide reputation as an expert of the subject, and the author of a popular book on exorcism and demonic possession-- told Petrus that a new Vatican document would call for the designation of exorcists in every Catholic diocese around the world. He also said that Pope Benedict would restore the tradition of reciting the prayer to St. Michael the Archangel, composed by Pope Leo XIII, at the end of every Mass.
But Father Federico Lombardi, the director of the Vatican press office, flatly denied the Petrus report. The papal spokesman said: "Pope Benedict XVI has no intention of ordering local bishops to bring in garrisons of exorcists to fight demonic possession."
The topic of exorcism commands considerable public interest in Italy, and Father Amorth has frequently generated attention with his warnings about the unchecked spread of diabolical influence. In a new course on the topic, being offered by the pontifical university Regina Apostolorum in Rome, Father Paolo Scarafoni has warned that Satanic cults are making inroads in Italian society, and cautioned that the influence of the devil is real-- although he has also reported that most suspected cases of demonic possession can be explained by other factors.

yes, but those demonic attacks come to all of us in our daily life. We just may not recognize them and think they are our thoughts sometimes. The fhu.com has a simple be still cd that helps so many people to separate from the evil in our minds and become free.
Kewl. Where do I sign up for training?
Did you hear about the dylexic devil worshipper? Tried to sell his soul to Santa.
Remind me to never look through your dvd collection.
The Pope has to do what he has to do. What can or would they do to him?

You don't need a login or anything to store them over at Image Shack.
Always admired Roy from college days but thanks for the link. I had the cassette but the download will be very useful.
This my friends is the door that opens inner peace. I’m overdue to get back.
Now I hope this prayer about St. Michael is true. I really do as our world needs all the help that prayer can muster.
Besides, I heard Boortz talking about it one day. :\
PUDDY: (pounding the hood) Hey, what are you doing?! Watch where you're driving, man! (He approaches the passenger side window) Don't mess with the Devils, buddy. We're number one, we beat anybody! We're the Devils! The Devils!! Haaaa!!!
(Puddy runs away, leaving the old priest shaken.)
FATHER HERNANDEZ: El Diablo! Dios mio! El Diablo!!
