TV show to focus on exorcism rite
Entertainment Weekly is reporting that the Discovery Channel is planning a TV show focusing on exorcism.
No start date has been set as yet, according to the magazine.
I predit that folks interested in this touchy topic will be waiting in anticipation of how the cable channel will approach the subject.
One tidbit that EW writer James Hibbard included in his Inside TV column did catch my eye. Hibbard writes that people involved with the new show, to be called “The Exorcist Files,” have had access to the Vatican’s case files on exorcism.
The column made me think back to last fall when I was researching information for my Oct. 15 story about exorcism. The topic came up when a Satanist church rented a public room at the Civic Center Music Hall where they performed what they called a “satanic exorcism.”
I do believe I’m going to watch this new show since my curiousity has now been piqued.
Read EW’s Inside TV column for more information: “Exclusive: Discovery, Catholic Church team for exorcism series.”
