Exorcising the fact from the fiction

Louise Roseingrave reports a horrific scene in Medjugorje (Irish Examiner, May 28).

For over two hours, a distressed woman, in clear need of medical assistance, is tormented by a mob of religious fanatics.

Rather than ask why local police did not intervene, Ms Roseingrave calls the unfortunate woman’s ordeal an “exorcism” and goes on to present as fact the most primitive and harmful superstitious nonsense.
