So-not-funny-it's-funny obscurantism
I don't at all trust the British Daily Mail, the newspaper that once published an article called "Hurrah for the Blackshirts" in praise of Oswald Mosley. And when it comes to the subject of Catholicism, I don't trust much of anything in the British press, since having a good laugh at the papists is a grand old knee-slapping pastime of the British right, center, liberal and left. That said, I do find disturbing the recent story in the Daily Mail which reports that the Vatican's official "exorcist" is going around saying that Hitler and Stalin were possessed by Satan. Apparently the dude means it literally.

Those motherfuckers are crazy, and I say that as a recovering catholic, who still thinks about how cool it would be to attend weekly mass with some kick-ass Jesuit Liberation Theology booster from Central America.
