  1. FULL-HOUSE #EXORCISM

    Sunday cleaning is underway.

    I have done the bathrooms and the kitchen, which means I have faced the main #demons directly.

    Soap #scum

    #Toothpaste #fossils.

    #Kitchen crumbs.

    #Coffee rings.

    The mysterious sticky patch that no one admits creating.

    Now Pete is doing the floors.

    First the #vacuum.

    Then the #steamer.

    The steamer hisses like a serpent, so now it sounds as though Pete is chasing #Satan down the hallway with a #domestic appliance.

    I am sitting here with coffee, looking #innocent, while the house undergoes #spiritual pressure-washing.

    By the end of this, the #floorboards will have confessed, the grout will be forgiven, and whatever was living behind the #toaster will have packed a small bag and left quietly.

    Not bad for a #Sunday morning.

  2. 5. At the bottom of this claim is the determination to weaponize Christianity and use it to beat down those perceived as a threat to established power — the "demons."

    6. In Catholic culture, this all gets tied up with reassertion and power of the clergy, who feel under siege in a rapidly changing world. The more these folks blather about demons and their unique power to vanquish demons, the more empty their claims to dominance become.

  3. 3. Reactionary men (and women who ally with them) are driving reactionary Christianity today.

    4. The claim that I and my allies can cast out demons is a claim of superiority: I'm on God's side. You're not. This is on the face of it an astonishing claim for Matt Schlapp and folks like him to make.

  4. The fixation on demons and exorcism in reactionary Christianity today tells us much:

    1. This kind of fixation predictably emerges when cultural shifts are underway, and entrenched power structures feel threatened.

    2. Men in many cultures feel threatened, feel that their long-taken-for-granted privilege and entitlement based solely on being penis-endowed is under assault.
