Oklahoma City archbishop conducts exorcism after Black Mass

Archbishop Paul Coakley of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma said prayers of exorcism at the city's Civic Center after a Black Mass was performed there on September 21.
An official at the Civic Center said that the archbishop visited on the morning after the Satanic ritual, and conducted the exorcism quietly, accompanied by another priest. The spokeswoman for the Civic Center said that the archbishop was responding to requests from Civic Center users who were uncomfortable in the building after the Satanic service. The administrators of the building welcomed the archbishop's presence, she said.

Well done Archbishop Coakley! Not only did you lead the fight courageously and thoughtfully, but you did a spiritual clean up (as it were) thereafter. I can imagine how that place must have felt. God bless you for leading your flock. Were that we had just a few more like you.
