It had to happen. A Catholic exorcist said he plans to hold a mass for Supreme Court Justice

Brett Kavanaugh next weekend after a group of witches announced their plans to gather in Brooklyn to publicly hex him. I posted earlier here how silly it was and its gone from silly to mauve.

Now a Catholic Exorcist said Conjuring up personified evil does not fall under free speech,” Father Gary Thomas, who serves as an exorcist for the Diocese of San Jose, Calif., told The National Catholic Register.

Im living in a world where the President of this country has talked about banning or censoring the media, pulling NBC off the air, has had a full-time war against the media. Then a journalist who was kicked out off of the kingdom not for writing about the Saudi Family, but writing about then President-elect Trump, and walks into a Saudi consulate and gets murdered.
Donald Trump threatens to shut down NBC and other TV news networks that criticize him

Then our President gives the same excuse to Muhammad bin Nayef as he did to Brett Kavanaugh, saying "well he told me he didn't do it, and I believe him." It may not have been 5th Avenue where he declared he could shoot somebody and nobody would care, but the fact is he may as well pulled the trigger himself.

Thought the priest was on our side and he planned to exorcise Kavanaugh's demonic personality.

The RCC has official exorcists. Because the problem apparently is that demons exist and infest people.

No one can assault me for it, and the government can't be used to shut me up.

Nyah.

...over my head, too. Thanks for the explanation.

Unlike RepubliCONS, I do not wish to be wilfully ignorant or uninformed.

The priest seems to have forgotten who is accused of committing a crime in this case. And he is too fucking stupid to recognise himself as a member of a cult - maybe of 2: the cult of Catholic exorcists, and the cult of Trump worship.

“This is a conjuring of evil—not about free speech,” Thomas said. “Conjuring up personified evil does not fall under free speech. Satanic cults often commit crimes; they murder and sexually abuse everyone in their cult.”

Witches, priests, take a side and join in!

Because that's what a hex vs. exorcism duel comes down to.
