...rise in performing the rite of exorcism by the Roman Catholic Church may sound like a movie premise [RELIGION, Oct. 2], but the growth in the number of people who seem unable to distinguish reality from what they see in the movies and on television should be a cause for concern. Isn't it dubious to blame Satan for the lack of a moral anchor and an increased flirtation with paganism? Mightn't these be signs of growing scientific illiteracy and irrationalism?
