Apart from the serious offense this gives, are you not afraid of calling down evil? Especially when the chief exorcist of the church has made some pretty scary observations about evil at the very top of the church? Especially when more and more depravity is being revealed? I felt that not only should the practice be stopped, or substituted for a harmless gesture, but that something very powerful had happened, that made me sick, and that made me feel this church needed to have a special purification ceremony. It was that serious. mg
