Exorcism: Live! Friday, 9pm Eastern

A little hard to tell if the producers believe this shit or not. We know a sizeable chunk of America believes it. But apparently a US Catholic diocese doesn't believe it. I'm rather shocked to learn that no one seems to think that the Devil could not leap through the live TV and inhabit thousands of people at the same time!! Don't give the Devil that opening! Save yourselves!! Don't watch!!!

Story on the WaPo

Welcome to “Exorcism: Live!” airing at 9 p.m. Friday on Destination America, a cable channel owned by Discovery Communications. The two-hour telecast tasks a clergyman, a psychic and the team from the network’s “Ghost Asylum” series to go into the spooky suburban St. Louis home that inspired “The Exorcist” book and movie. Ghost hunters insist that the house is filled with a dark, sinister energy, and “Exorcism: Live!” is determined to cleanse it.

They say this "isn't real" and "exorcism isn't entertainment". But they will maintain that demons can inhabit humans---in the 21st Century.
