There has been a mass hysteria voodoo exorcism at a Catholic school in Trinidad Tobago. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1330492/Priests-called-17-female-school-pupils-possessed-devil.html
Who is behind this? Satanists could be, according to a leading catholic exorcist who has recently published a book on satanism and demonic influence in the church.

So are we to look forward to a movie release soon as a follow up to the ongoing exorcism publicity wave?
This medievalist revivalism in the church distracts attention from the victims of sex abuse by priests. It also exploits the primitive cultural roots of children and adults and is possibly a cover for continued sex abuse. Voodoo practises continue and are perpetuated alongside christianity unfortunately.
In Australia, Prime Minister Julia Guillard, an atheist, gave $1,000,000. AUD to a religious group to celebrate the canonization of an Australian nun. Of what benefit is this sort of financial frivolity when religion makes many Australians feel uncomfortable, cringe and is bad for Australia's image as a developed nation. The public crime, expense, unrest, civil disruption and visa violations consequence of the papal youth event had already proved religion is an undesirable retrogressive shambles visited upon the modern era.
As someone commented of Poland under exorcism-the thing that needs exorcising is religion itself.-
