Catholic Church witchcraft allegations in Congo condemn 50,000 children
"Catholic priests say they have identified children as young as two months old as âwitchesâ thanks to their innate ability to sense witchcraft in children.
SAN ANTONIO, Oct. 21 â The evil and utter immorality of the Catholic Church rear their ugly heads once again, this time in the heart of Africa, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). No matter how hard Catholic leaders try to keep it hidden, the evil inspired by these man-made âholy booksâ always eventually rises to the surface.
The Daily Mail, one of the United Kingdomâs most popular newspapers, recently exposed a shocking â but not unbelievable â practice of the Catholic Church in the DRC. The Daily Mail estimates that at least 50,000 children, some as young as only a few months old, have been accused of witchcraft and sorcery by Catholic priests, leading to their familiesâ literally throwing them out on the street, relegating them to a life of discrimination, hatred and subsistence.
The Daily Mail article opens with the following hideous description of one of the hundreds of âexorcismsâ that Catholic priests perform on children on a daily basis in the DRC:
âSqueezing a toddlerâs eyeballs and shoving his thumb into her tiny nose, a Catholic priest purges a child of the devil, one of many exorcisms he carries out every day. Flicked with holy water, her face smeared with olive oil and poked violently in the stomach, two-and-a-half-year old Angel bursts into tears as she is rid of the evil spirits that lurk within her. The child wriggles to free herself but her mother holds on firmly, insistent that she endures the exorcism to protect her from the sorcery that many in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) believe controls their livesâŚ. But tens of thousands of other children in this troubled central African country have been branded âchildâ witches and flung out onto the streets by their families into a life of destitution, violence and abuse.â
According to a 2010 Pew Research Center survey on religion, the vast majority of the population of the DRC identifies as Christian (over 80 percent), and over 50 percent of the population claims to be members of the Roman Catholic Church. This gives the Catholic Church a very strong influence on a large swath of the population."
