Back to the dark ages...

Monday 6th November. I opened a book I started last night and read a couple of chapters on how New Religious Movements are affecting people through brainwashing, in particular Satanism (which just as a matter of interest the book doesn't believe is happening!). I then spent the majority of the day flicking through the English newspapers online to find out what they say about exorcisms. I've just returned back to my computer and checked my emails which I haven't really read over the last four or five days. Amongst them was an email from Youth 2000, a Catholic Youth Group based near Ampleforth in England. I've included the links that they gave from media coverage, and also their statement on what happened:
Here are some examples of the coverage:

http://www.guardian.co.uk/religion/Story/0,,1939477,00.html
http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,2-2006510299,00.html
You can read their statement on the matter on the website:

I've had a few experiences of Y2K and with that and what I've been reading all week, I'm going to keep my opinions to myself- unless you ask me personally! But with pages and pages of quotes driven from newspapers today, who said evil, demonology and exorcisms are antiquated ideas amongst the general public?!
