Vatican Updates Rules for Exorcisms

VATICAN CITY (AP) -- The Vatican issued new guidelines Tuesday for driving out devils, urging exorcists not to mistake psychiatric illness for diabolic possession -- but also stressing the power of evil.

The new exorcism rite, in Latin and contained in a red, leather-bound, 84-page book, also reflects Pope John Paul II's efforts to convince the skeptical that the devil is very much in the world.

''The existence of the devil isn't an opinion, something to take or leave as you wish,'' said Cardinal Jorge Medina Estevez, a Vatican official who presented the revisions. ''Anyone who says he doesn't exist wouldn't have the fullness of the Catholic faith.''

John Paul has denounced the devil in a series of recent homilies as a ''cosmic liar and murderer.''

In today's world, the cardinal said, the devil's force comes through widespread acceptance of ''lies and deceit ... the idolatry of money ... the idolatry of sex.''

Zolt!

>>CLINTON'S LAWYER IS A LIAR, TOO<<

I'm in St. Louis County and as you know the Pope has been visiting. It's been the most hysterical dichotomy reflective of the sublime and the ridiculous. Clinton flew in for the photo op to greet the Pope, but I doubt that he took his first homily to heart. It's been getting a tremendous amount of coverage here locally. The Pope spoke yesterday to a youth gathering and one of the main points he addressed was honesty. He specifically said that once you lie, you will have to compound lie after lie to cover it up. He added that "the truth shall make you free".....I don't think the content of his message was getting a lot of national coverage. But locally it's been wall to wall and some of the Clinton references have been a quite funny (man on the street comments, etc).
