An exorcism would have been more appropriate.
Father Welch, who used to be with HLI, wrote about praying the exorcism prayers during vigils at abortion clinics. The reaction of clinic workers and pro-death demonstrators would be, he said, absolutely insane.
Actually not. The Mass is infinitely more powerful than an exorcism, which is after all only a “sacramental” ... a blessing. In an exorcism, a demon is commanded to leave in the name of Christ. In the Mass, Christ himself and his sacrificial death, which destroyed the power of the devil forever, is made present.
