I came across a passage in a Washington Post article today that contains one of the most stunning, sublime and accurate comparisons between any two things I've ever encountered in my life! I gasped -- then howled -- then gasped again -- when I read it!!
The article itself is awesome. It is about how Pope Francis, for all his supposedly modernizing tendencies, is the most old school Pope in a long time when it comes to the Devil. He has been preaching incessantly about Satan, and has granted far greater recognition to the proponents of exorcism in the Church than they've enjoyed in decades.

The passage I'm talking about has one of these exorcists, a Swiss gentleman named Rev. Cesar Truqui, recount an experience he recently had on a Swissair flight. Here it is in all its glory:

Quote:Quote:
During the conference, the Rev. Cesar Truqui, an exorcist based in Switzerland, recounted one experience he had aboard a Swissair flight. “Two lesbians,” he said, had sat behind him on the plane. Soon afterward, he said, he felt Satan’s presence. As he silently sought to repel the evil spirit through prayer, one of the women, he said, began growling demonically and threw chocolates at his head.
Asked how he knew the woman was possessed, he said that “once you hear a Satanic growl, you never forget it. It’s like smelling Margherita pizza for the first time. It’s something you never forget.”
same old shit, sixes and sevens Shaft...
