Life imitating art?

Edited on Thu Mar-11-10 08:02 AM by mgc1961

The Rev. Gabriele Amorth, the man who has served as the Vatican's chief exorcist for 25 years, says the signs are there: The devil has infiltrated St. Peter's.

Specifically, Amorth cites recent sexual abuse and pedophilia scandals as well as what he deems a cover-up in the shooting deaths of two of the Vatican's Swiss Guards and one of the guard's wives as proof that the Catholic Church's most famous site is less than pure.

A retired friend of mine once told me he isn't interested in reading novels because fiction simply doesn't measure up to real life. :popcorn:
