Hi, Sofia – yes, that's me… and also I'm on the imdb Legion message board. I love discussing these two books and films. Also I feel an obligation to correct what I consider egregious misunderstandings, e.g., Kinderman found a Pazuzu amulet at the bottom of the Georgetown steps, the Iraq St. Joseph medal was somehow transferred to Karras' neck, Dennings was molesting Regan, the story is evil because it supports evil Catholicism … the most recent being the suggestion that Kinderman was gay because he's shown “hitting on” two sexually repressed, single males (Karras and Dyer) … I mean, it just gets nuts sometimes. I had for many years also been active on the Passion of the Christ board, but it's been overrun with Christian fundamentalists whose ideology is such that they are not permitted to listen to reasonable, historically-based arguments. Anyway, such boards do give me an occasional chance to do some writing – other than my blog, which I do not update very frequently.

Anyway, Sof, thanks for asking 🙂

A fascinating article about how this relates to women's rights. Yup…

Oh gosh! So you are bastasch! I read all of your texts and copy paste some to Microsoft word!

[granville1]

Gee, Sofia, I am so flattered 🙂

 

But I bow to your knowledge of The Exorcist – you know that book by heart, plus you're a great scholar of the material, including the film.

I'd say that he's right to withhold his money.  A school that represents itself as “Catholic” should maintain some standards, (whether or not I happen to agree with the standards).  Based upon this, I'd agree that their choice of honored speakers is suspect.

However, if Georgetown is taking “government” money, then perhaps they have to accomodate all views.  Sorry, but that's the deciding factor.  Who's paying the piper?
