[Still Waters]

With exorcism booming in Poland, Roman Catholic priests here have joined forces with a publisher to launch what they claim is the world's first monthly magazine focused exclusively on chasing out the devil.

Ya gotta be kidding me ......

A whole magazine ....

[Super-Fly]

LOL, some fruit will buy it.

Maybe the shiny african berry will subscribe?

[Grandpa Greenman]

Anything to make a buck.

[schizoidwoman]

Free holy water with part 2?

[Neognosis]

I'm embarassed to be both an ex catholic and of polish descent.

[ThickasaBrick]

How many polish people does it take to keep an exorcism magazine in business? Couldn't resist it, sorry people of polish descent, nothing offensive is intended.

[Lady Llayne]

Hey it goes to show that even the church is going for job creation now days.

I’m sorry but I think that this whole thing is a bit silly. All it does is enforce the idea of it, which creates a belief in something. The mind is a powerful thing that will cause us to create our own demons.

Take note, get a first edition of this magazine and keep it perfect condition. People 30 years from will look to collect it for giggles, and prolly will pay big bucks for the nonsense it was spreading at this time.

I must be alone in thinking this is fine. Not every culture has to mirror our own and every should grow at its own pace without the opinion of Westerners who know better.

More interested to know exactly the social conditions required to make a part of society there turn to exorcisms on the scale it requires its own publication.

[King Fluffs]

I'm going to look for this on eBay.

[Keel M.]

Since there is such a huge interest in it, I'd be interested in knowing what the qualifications are for a good exorcist. Priests only? Does he have to have been a man of the cloth for many years or is a newbie acceptable? Are there special classes? I don't think there's anything wrong with having a magazine. It's just another way of making resources available to all involved in this work.

If I could read polish I would buy it.

[Boss-Hog]

subscribe for 12 months and get a free exorcism

[brothers]

Were there as many exorcism done during the Communist takeover??.Would be interesting the numbers and then check to see the reason who.

[Jinxdom]

Would rather read this then a magizine trying to prove the morals of child pornography. I do like the fact it mentions priests working with shrinks though to avoid mistakening mental illness. I would nab a copy if I could read polish just to see that part of it.

If I could read polish I would buy it.

I read Polish but wouldn't buy it... take that back I'm going to Poland on business in Octobre will buy couple issues to make fun of it on my blog

Edit to add: to read Polish you remove all the czsz, cz, sz, rz z with a dot on top, n with a coma and it reads like N'glish

Great response!

It's fascinating to see people who look so critically for truth speak with so little love. If there isn't love to be found in it, truth is irrelevant to me.

Priests capitalizing on human gullibility just like Hollywood...how unsurprising.
