What is an exorcism?
Thanks to horror movies, many people are aware that the Catholic church has rituals, called exorcisms, which are practiced by Catholic priests.

SKELETON SAINT OF DEATH | Beloved Santa Muerte Condemned by the Catholic Church
Joining me is Dr. R. Andrew Chesnut to discuss Santa Muerte, offering a fascinating portrayal of the skeleton saint whose cult has attracted millions of devotees over the past decade.

Most often portrayed as a woman, she...
