Promiscuity, as well as homosexuality and pornography, says 73 year-old Fr. Jeremy Davies, is a form of sexual perversion and can lead to demonic possession. Offering what may be an explanation for the explosion of homosexuality in recent years, Fr. Davies said, "Among the causes of homosexuality is a contagious demonic factor."
thought that was a given.
That's rather ironic considering the recent payout by the Catholic church to victims of this apparent 'demonic contagion' to which certain members of the Church seem to have been afflicted.
My views on this tend to be rather strong, so I better not say anymore. Except that, aside from the fact I consider homosexuality to be a natural aspect of existence, not a perversion, the church and its representatives would do well to remember the words: "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone."
I believe that most Christians today haven't a clue what Jesus was teaching. The Christian Churches today are just a dangerous and deceived cult which bear no resemblance to the truth.

I agree. True Christianity is personal and between the believer and Christ. Any thing else is a cult. And where is a priest coming off saying things like this, given the Churches recent troubles. Talk about a contagious demonic factor.
I never believe anything that the Vatican says any way.

The Holy See must be a satanic hotbed of fever and demonic possession given the centuries-long history of paedophilia ensconsed there and throughout its various dioceses!
I think Fr. Davies should unleash himself on his own religious persuasion like day-before-yesterday!!

If you take this title literally, it means that homosexuality is caused by germs spread by demons.
Well, Fr. Jeremy Davies is seventy three years old! In other words, he is senile! Enought said!

I think the trans-part is included, Sandy. I've never noticed that the church makes a distinction. We are all a piece of the influx of alien DNA infected by these demons. :)

I agree with you in so many ways. Christ taught a message of love. However... the Bible certainly gives you the idea that no matter what ails.... it's the devil. Look at how many of the healings were resolved by casting out a demon. It makes perfect sense however. They had very little concept of cause and effect when it came to medical issues.
I honestly believe that in this day and age, for the most part, no one believes in demonic posession. But there sure are a good number who wish to intrude into other people's lives by forcing their paricular religious perspectives. We are either going to become more educated or we will regress. It is a matter of collective will ya know.

Um... At the church I attended when I came out, the assistant pastor wanted to do an exhorcism on me.

my Knight's-move thinking got the best of me:
-Assistant pastor (AP) has desire to perform exorcisms, but lacks consenting adult with required prerequisite condition;
-AP finds adult with required prerequisites, must determine willingness to engage in mutually-consented act;
At this point, it's a lot like someone searching for an intimate partner, and is the point where prostitution can enter the picture... "I'm not really interested in and of itself, but how much money 'choo got?"
Do you think there is a pent-up market for exorciz-ees?
>:D -> :angel:
=K
they force the children to go to school. where they may be beaten regularly by bullies. and if you are really good, you can go to college.
the expensive lessons in college contradict the free lessons learned in Sunday school
the bullies proved that, in either case, what was taught you won't protect you.
Laughs at the idiot priest...
Vatican exorize thyself! Use a little of Demon be gone.

You should have let them, then seen if you could have made your head go 360 degrees.

If you use, you know, protection you can't catch homosexuality from a demon can you?
Well, there was this one time when I was really drunk and I'm not sure if we used it....now I'm worried. Is there anywhere I can get tested for this?
