Vatican Formally Recognizes Exorcist Association

Linda Blair—Next IAE Keynote Convention Speaker?
Recently, the Roman Catholic Church has been trying to promote a modern image—in fact, they even have a Vatican Astronomer. But, every once in a while, we are reminded that this venerable institution is nothing more than a haven for medieval mysticism. The latest example is the Vatican's formal recognition of the International Association of Exorcists, a group of 250 priests in 30 different countries. The group is now completely OK under church canon law. Pope Francis is reportedly always talking Devil-related stuff, so this really shouldn't come as a surprise. Personally, I'd love to attend the next IAE convention—think of the wild parties! And, Linda Blair could be the keynote speaker! Sadly, William Peter Blatty could not be reached for comment on this story.
