Welcome to the Idiot Alert Files, Father Amorth

I wasn't able to file this alert when I first found out about it a couple of weeks ago. I had to wait until I could stop the helpless giggling that came on every time I thought about this one. Now, however, I am able to confer Idiot Alert File membership on Gariele Amorth.
It seems that Pope Benny the funky-hatted one, has decided to engage the devil in fisticuffs and so he has called on his trusty sidekick, Father Gabriele Amorth, Exorcist in Chief of the Roman Catholic Church. Amorth's response to his captain's call is to begin the training of hundreds of priests as exorcists. Under Amorth's master plan, each bishop worldwide would have a group of priests in his diocese who were specially trained in both exorcism and sneaking their way into the devil's various strongholds while Mission Impossible music plays in the background.
"Thanks be to God that we have a Pope who has decided to fight the Devil head-on," Father Amorth says. "Now bishops are to be obliged to have a number of established exorcists for their diocese. Too many bishops are not taking this seriously and are not delegating their priests in the fight against the Devil. You have to hunt high and low for a proper, trained exorcist.
Worse for me than the idea itself is that last quote. I haven't yet been able to keep a straight face while I'm reading that blather. I swear the images of Bugs Bunny come unbidden every time I read it. I see Bugs innocently chewing on a carrot, unaware that Elmer Fudd is creeping up behind him, his every step punctuated by the string section of the orchestra playing pizzicato. As the dastard raises the barrel of his shotgun and aims it at Bugs' head, all seems lost. Then our hero comes through - how could we ever doubt him? - reaching into a breast pocket (cleverly concealed in the fur on his chest) and pulling out a sledge hammer that would defy Atlas himself to lift it. Never missing a chew on his carrot, Bugs easily swings it behind his head and connects with Fudd's bald pate, laying the villain low. Variations on that scenario are all that I can picture when I imagine Amorth's hosts taking on the manifestations of the Cloven Hoofed One.
I refuse to think of Amorth having any ulterior motive here, like trying to drum up sales for his books, "An Exorcist Tells His Story" and "An Exorcist: More Stories". If sales were a little slower than he might like, I'm sure it would give them a boost to have a sudden boom in cases of exorcism, worldwide, but I steadfastly refuse to believe the good father would dabble in a little of his own devilry to manipulate the take.
Geez, all I have to do is remember the picture taken in December 2005, of Pope Grinch the First. The look on his face that day makes me wonder why Amorth isn't gathering his troops and paying a call on Il Papa himself. I think they should try a little exorcism there. It couldn't hurt.
Until I read news of Amorth doing just that, I'm giving him star billing in the Idiot Alert Files.
