Avoiding the Wrath Economy

 From the article, " William Peter Blatty suggests this in his novel "The Exorcist." The demon Pazuzu, having possessed a young girl, is asked if it minds being recorded. "Not at all," the demon says. "Read your Milton and you'll see that I  like  infernal engines. They block out all those damned silly messages from  him ."   I suspect this is a more universal suggestion than the headline indicates. https://www.realclearreligion.org/articles/2022/08/29/catholics_log_off_850339.html
