Amorth, who is president of the International Association of Exorcists, also said Adolf Hitler and Russian leader Joseph Stalin were possessed by the devil, and that Pope Pius XII once tried to perform a long-distance exorcism on Hitler.The International Association of Exorcists? I bet their conventions are a real blast.

LOL. Amorth -- whose name sounds like it should be the appellation of a Sith Lord...
AMORTH: Now you feel the power of the Dark Side of the Force!
CRINGING HELPLESS VICTIM: Nooooo, Lord Amorth! Noooooooooo......
-- doesn't even realize that Potter is Christian allegory. I love the comparison to Hitler too -- the facist dictators of the mid-20s -- Mussolini, Franco, Hitler, Tiso -- were mostly Catholics (Tiso was a Catholic Priest), while Stalin was a former Russian Orthodox seminarian. You can take the person out of the authoritarianism, but you can't take the authoritarianism.....
