Polish Exorcism Magazine by Roman Catholic Priests about Real-Life Exorcists and Demonology
Poland. It’s one of Europe’s most devoutly Catholic nations. And now, it’s becoming the first nation to launch a magazine all about chasing out the devil. Roman Catholic priests say they have created the world’s first monthly exorcism magazine to meet the demand of a growing population of Poles that are turning to demonology. 15 years ago, there were reportedly only 4 exorcists.

The 62-page first issue called “New Age — the spiritual vacuum cleaner” has just hit news newsstands and is selling for about USD 3 per copy.

One song calls the Holocaust a “soiree”; another orders a Muslim woman to “put on a burka, baby” to hide her body, from her head to her clitoris.
