Paprocki staged an unusual — and in Illinois, unprecedented — exorcism that asked God to “deliver us from evil” of a Quinn-led change in state law that will permit gay and lesbian couples to wed in Illinois despite the Catholic Church’s objections.

***

Paprocki said the service was necessitated, essentially, to undo the work of the devil. The governor and his allies who pushed through the Religious Freedom and Marriage Fairness Act are “morally complicit” in advancing gay marriage, a ritual Paprocki said Pope Francis – as an Argentinean cardinal – has declared a sin and a tool of the “father of lies.”



Bishop's homily for Prayers of Supplication and Exorcism in Reparation for the Sin of Same-Sex Marriage November 20, 2013 -


I thought this was kind of cool when I heard about it. And amusing.  I doubt homosexuals would like the idea of an exorcism being preformed because of them.   ;D  They're on the right side of history and all.   ;D

I'm glad he did it.  The Churches need to been seen standing against evil.

That's one.

Actually they have dual services on Sunday morning; one @ 8:15 & another @ 11:00 - so, by ObamaCare website counting, that's, uhm...2???

"A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law, would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."

- Thomas Jefferson
