It was really only a matter of time before the Catholic Clergy discovered The Internet. May the rear-ends of altar boys everywhere breathe a sigh of relief. Apparently The Internet isn’t only good for porn however, since Bob Larson, a reverend at the Spiritual Freedom Church in Scottsdale, Arizona has used it to perform high-tech exorcisms via Skype. Obviously, this doesn’t please the Catholic community, but at $295 a pop, Reverend Larson probably doesn’t care.
Larson has allegedly performed over 20,000 exorcisms over 40 years, so if you have demons haunting your sweet ass (ex-boyfriends don’t count) he is probably your best bet. If you live under a rock with no internet, he will also do it over the phone (I am assuming as long as you have a valid credit card number). He actually went on ABC Action News to explain what he does, and has been on both Oprah and Larry King Live.
The International Catholic Association of Exorcists (yes, it’s a real thing) doesn’t support Larson, and says that if someone were to try an authentic exorcism through The Internet, the demon would throw the computer screen across the room. I don’t know about you, but all of this seems totally legit to me. I wonder if Reverend Larson accepts JC Penney gift cards as payment.
