A Demon Haunted Place?



They say the devil lurks in the shadows of a church, but what if the church in question is the Basilica of St. Mary's.

It's analogous to the treatment given by William Blatty to the character of Damien Karras SJ in the sensationalist film, Exorcist III, who was preternaturally kept alive by the devil and used by him to perpetrate terrible deeds against the Priest's will. Somehow, the appearances of the church, Her ministers, and Her name have been usurped by something wicked and alien. They contradict everything the Church teaches and inspire doubt in the credibility of the Church founded by Christ.
