Exorcisms

It is a curious thing that there are so many movies with Exorcisms as their subject matter. This could indicate any number of things. A likely reason is that Hollywood took note of the recent Conference on Exorcism. Although I would like to posit a better reason.

I think that the wisdom of Holy Mother Church is providing light to the world. The world is seeing the bleakness of sin. There is a concern for the souls of people building. Mankind needs to know that there is a way to get out of the dangers they encounter. We know that evil exists, we are able to name it. This is a very good thing.

On the other hand, Hollywood does not know how possession happens. We can help the world to be a happier and healthier place by involving ourselves in the process of writing these kind of films. They should have priests explaining how the possession occurred and there should be a caution against things which open man up to possession.

This is a plea. We should use the Bishops' guidelines on social media to help re-evangelize the world! Those of you who are better at language and writing than myself, bring faith into the pop culture.
