Monster Mondays: Demonic Possession

Did you know…

“I speak with the devil every day. I talk to him in Latin. He answers in Italian. I have been wrestling with him, day in day out, for 14 years.”
-Father Gabriel Amorth, World-Famous Exorcist

1. There is an International Association of Exorcists? It was founded in 1993, it’s very difficult to become a member [damn darn damn], and there’s an annual conference held every year. In 2004, 500 members attended the conference held in Mexico. [Fly-on-the-wall-powers, *activate!* Shape of: a fly. Form of: a spy.]

2. Italian is The Devil’s Tongue.
“I speak with the devil every day. I talk to him in Latin. He answers in Italian. I have been wrestling with him, day in day out, for 14 years.” -Father Gabriel Amorth, World-Famous Exorcist [Italian? I thought for sure it would be something more romantic, like... oh I dunno, Dagonese? What, you've reserved that language for me alone, oh Infernal One? Ia! Ia! Kutulu Zi Kur!]

3. Not necessarily a piece of demonic trivia-nuggetry, but quite possibly one of the best article names I’ve ever read, ever:
SO YOU WANT TO PERFORM AN EXORCISM: HERE IS WHAT IT TAKES

4. Exorcists will not be out of jobs any time soon. Again, feeling a bit bummed that it’s so difficult to join the *IAE. [*Abbreviation = I'm all savvy and insider-y about exorcists professional exorcists now].

5. Hell is in Michigan. This means that Hell freezes over at least one season a year.

And now, I leave you with a final demonic image. While frolicking about the interwebs searching for a deeper understanding of exorcism and demonic possession [with great Monster Mondays comes great responsibility], I found it in black-and-white. Google’s *deal* with You-Know-Who [yes, Yahoo and Satan] for world domination revealed through Ad Sense [Is that a yes or no question?] ——>
