Exorcism on Demand
Reading through some news on the net and I found an interesting article about the increasing demand of exorcism around the world. There was a meeting of the Roman Catholic Church for people to learn about the practice of exorcism. The news stated that there were a decreasing amount of faith, especially in youth, which would most likely lead to idolatry. A priest by the name of Gabriel Amorth said he himself has done over 40,000 exorcisms! I mean, C'mon, are there really that many individuals who have just absolutely let themselves go in terms of being close to God? This story leads me wonder if this world is just going to crap! Have demons, devils, evil or whatever you may call it, taken over our world that much? I think it's time we step back and look at the things that cause all the hate and filth in our world and see that a lot has to do with the media and the laziness we have developed through new technology. I'm not saying that we should halt the progress of our civilization, but just analyze what went wrong when 10 year old kids started cursing out their elders or when some teenagers thought it was cool to smoke crack and rape some innocent girl. Our role models in our world need to go back to the simplicity of just plain goodness and do their responsibility of instilling those values in our generations to come. The media has allowed easy access for our young generations to see the hate and filthiness of our world, and telling them its funny or okay to do bad things, especially to others. Again, we need to look at the values that we used to have back in the "good, old days" and put them to practice...And turn off the television and the computer from time to time!
