Reading Robert McDougall's rather medieval tract against "Bible condemned spiritualist" Derek Acorah and who can claim qualification in performing exorcisms, I cannot decide in which respect the correspondent is being more foolish.
Is it in clinging to a long discredited Biblical directive against those whose only threat was to the spiritual monopolising, patriarchal authoritarianism of the established church's power base; or is it in his failure to recognise that Derek Acorah's performance during the so called exorcism was nothing more than that a performance!
Delusion on both counts, it seems.
