Catholic church to translate rite of exorcism in english for first time

By: Alex Kack

The Roman Catholic Church has chosen to translate the rite of exorcism from Latin into English for the first time in history. The decision was made by the Catholic Bishops of America last month.

While the rite is being translated it will still only be made available to Bishops and others they clear for access to it including clergy approved to perform exorcisms.

An appendix to the document has also been translated, titled The Prayers Against the Powers of Darkness it will be made available to the public as pocket sized book. The prayers are said to help the faithful against possession and other attacks from dark forces.

Exorcism conducted by the church is rare in the modern era however does is still practiced under certain circumstances. In the event an exorcism is deemed necessary a mental health professional is usually first consulted and a variety of other steps are taken to ensure the safety and anonymity of the afflicted.

Prayers Against the Powers of Darkness can be ordered from the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops website.

Bill Clinton allegedly sought information and files on UFO investigation while he was President, according to Webster Hubbell, the disgraced former associate Attorney General and close associate of the Clinton family.

Webster claims that while in office he was tasked by the President to dig into the information. Hubbell described the process as difficult, and stated that he felt as though his requests were being blocked or dragged out.

Eventually Hubbell's work produced results however, and he was able to present the President with information about two separate Cold War era UFO studies. Both of which found no evidence they deemed conclusive related to the UFO Phenomena. Clinton made several comments about space aliens while in office, as the topic saw a renewed popularity during the 1990's.

The video showed a 'wet floor' caution sign flying off the ground, lockers opening and emptying on their own, and other examples of alleged otherworldly vandalism.
The school quickly sought to monetize off the occurrence and the newfound notoriety it brought, billing themselves as “the world's most haunted school” and planning a Halloween party and tour that would cost visitors five euros to attend.
