Vatican's Exorcist Says Possessed Vomit Metal
posted on March 11, 2010 01:11:07 pm
Inside his small third floor office at Vatican City, Father Gabriel Amorth, prepares for his next client. In the corner, a bed with restraining ropes. On the walls, pictures of the Virgin Mary. Near an armchair there is a Bible and other copies of prayers. Looking his 85 years, Father Gabriel is still dressed in his pyjamas, but his face shows signs of energy that has helped sustain him as the chief Exorcist for the Vatican during the last 25 years. In a rare interview with the Italian newspaper, La Repubblica, Father Gabriel, stongly defends his work and that of the Association of Exoricists. "The devil is not everywhere," he says, "but when he is present it is painful." He says he has treated over 70,000 cases.

Will Horses Have to Wear Diapers in Dublin?
posted on March 06, 2010 07:27:33 am
New by-laws in Dublin mean that horses in the city center will have to wear diapers. The carriage drivers will have to attach the so-called dung-catchers to the rear of the horse in a bid to keep areas such as St. Stephen's Green and the Guinness Store House clean. The same sanitary regulations have caused huge rows in Killarney where jarveys have refused to fit the sanitary devices.
