Reading 197, from The Exorcist

…There’s no other explanation for some of the things [that were done]. Like the priest who had eight nails driven into his skull…. And there were seven little boys and their teacher. They were praying the Our Father when soldiers came upon them. One soldier whipped out his bayonet and sliced off the teacher’s tongue. The other took chopsticks and drove them into the ears of the seven little boys. How do you treat cases like that?

Alluded by William Blatty in his cult-classic The Exorcist .

My notes:

We cannot and should not ingnore the evil which walks in our midst. Evil is real and needs a response from us. Depending on our reactions or indiffirence to it, we shall be held responsible…
