Exorcism by Helicopter in Columbia

    • A Catholic bishop is reaching for new heights to save a city wrought with "evil."
    After the brutal murder of a 10-year-old girl in a port city in Colombia, Monsignor Rubén Darío Jaramillo Montoya, the bishop of Buenaventura, announced he will perform a mass exorcism over the city beset with violence, drug smuggling, and poverty this weekend, The Guardian reported.
    “We have to drive the devil out of Buenaventura, to see if we can restore the peace and tranquility that our city has lost due to so many crimes, acts of corruption and with so much evil and drug trafficking that invades our port," Montoya told the local radio station.

    He added: “We want to go around the whole of Buenaventura, from the air, and pour holy water on to it to see if we exorcise and get out all those demons that are destroying our port, so that God’s blessing comes and gets rid of all the wickedness that is in our streets.”
    Colombia's army reportedly offered the bishop a helicopter for the mass exorcism during the feast day of Buenaventura's patron saint.
    South America's largest Pacific seaport was named as the country's most violent place in 2014 by Human Rights Watch, which said it is “dominated by powerful criminal groups that commit widespread abuses, including abducting and dismembering people, sometimes while still alive, then dumping them in the sea."

    The local Catholic church reported eyewitness accounts containing gruesome details of "chop-up houses" where they slaughter victims.
    While there has been an improvement since the report, homicides are up from last year, prompting a "pastoral emergency" from the Vatican-backed International Association of Exorcists.
    Earlier this year, the Vatican opened its annual exorcism summit to non-Catholics due to reports of a rise in demonic possessions and devil worship around the world.

    • There is definitely a particularly strong and foul demon that festers over this city. But will such an enterprise that bishop is undertaking have any real effect, in light of the gimmicky approach of a water borne dispersion unit?

    Prayer and fasting ought to be done on a massive scale.

    Frankly, they are going to need a bigger bucket. ::) Or a few squadrons of helicopters (I see in my mind's eye a Catholic version of that scene from Apocalypse Now. Gregorian chant played through the speakers.) ;)

    Get to da choppa! :facepalm:

    Oh no doubt. Not only the violence, but that part of the world is for some reason, incredibly superstitious and into horoscopes despite (mostly) claiming to be Catholic.

    They need an ocean's worth of holy water, IMO.

    Indeed. The people of Buenaventura (better to call it Malaventura) have opened so many doors, windows, and gates to Tartarus that it will take an effort unheard of to clean their town.
    "We need to get a lot more buckets...." Yes

    So, an exorcism probably wouldn’t even be successful.... they’d have to be rid of such articles to be helped.
