He said the Pope wants to restore a prayer seen as protection against evil that was traditionally recited at the end of Catholic Masses. The prayer, to St Michael the Archangel, was dropped in the 1960s by Pope John XXIII.

Part of the Leonine prayers, instituted in 1884 by that champion of democracy, Leo XIII, who also authored "Testem Benevolentiae Nostrae"

It's that psychic picture impression thing. Past positive results in the supremely evil category are Alberto Gonzales, John Yoo, Leo Strauss. Recent positives in the good guy category are Chris Dodd, Ron Paul and that new congressman Webb.
However the evil emanating from that man surpasses all of those previously mentioned in the evil category.

I also think they wouldn't know true evil as it manifests itself through todays technology.

but it'd probably make a decent game and sell well. The Vatican should definitely hire Bioware to do it.

As you can see, one enthusiast for exorcisms does not a Papal mandate make. Podblack.

Have you looked at the guy?

Golly, it seems like this call to arms is a lot stronger than the reaction to priests buggering little boys; but I guess that's nothing to do with sin, satanism, ungodly behavior and what not. I mean did they have specially trained priests to spot abuse in every diocese? Did they institute any special prayers to stop the perps? Obviously, buggering little boys and girls by "celibate" priests is not a problem for the church because the Church has lawyers to take care of that! Lawyers, however, are no match for the threat of unchristian/non-catholic spiritualism; fighting that kind of thing can only be done by specially trained priests and specially resurrected prayers.

Planned Polish Exorcism Center Sparks Interest in Germany

Catholic Church officials in Poland have given their blessing to a new exorcism center. While the topic's been taboo in neighboring Germany, it looks like the center might get quite a few visitors from across the border.

When Polish daily Gazeta Wyborcza reported in December that the country's Catholic Church had approved plans for an exorcism center in the town of Poczernin near Stettin, the news was gleefully pounced upon in Germany.

Andrzej Trojanowski, the Stettin-based Catholic priest behind the project, insists that there is nothing unusual about the center, which he says is still only in its planning phase.

"The media call it an exorcism center, I call it a spiritual retreat," he said.

But while dismissing the newspaper reports as sensationalist, he conceded that he was indeed a practising exorcist, and said he did not rule out the possibility of visitors to the center who believe they are possessed by Satan.

"Then I would pray with them for their spiritual liberation," he said.

Meanwhile, German daily Märkische Allgemeine quoted Father Marian Piatkowski, the regional coordinator of Polish exorcists in Stettin, as saying that Poland most definitely needs more exorcists.

"Ideally, each deanery would have one," he argued.
