At the end of his weekly general audience today, Pope Benedict gave a shout-out to Italian exorcists who are in town for their national convention. This caught people off guard since very few knew it was going on. Or where. After all, there was no meeting room posted on the bulletin board of the Vatican Hyatt. In related news, last week the Regina Apostolorum, an honest to, uh, god university in Rome, announced that for the second year in a row it will hold a course on exorcism and Satanism for Roman Catholic priests. Classes begin next month and can be attended in person in Rome or via videoconference from other Italian cities. The online course, “e-Exorcisms For Fun and Profit”, will be available next semester at the Learning Annex.
