“Soeur Jeanne was free. Two weeks later Surin returned to Bordeaux. The following spring Father Tranquille died in a paroxysm of demoniac frenzy. The treasury ceased to pay the salary of the surviving exorcists, who were all recalled to their various houses. Left to themselves such devils as remained soon took their leave. After six years of incessant struggle, the Church Militant gave up the fight. Its enemies promptly disappeared. The long orgy was at an end. If there had been no exorcists, it would never have begun.” — Aldous Huxley
Soeur Jeanne was free.
Two weeks later Surin returned to Bordeaux. The following spring Father Tranquille died in a paroxysm of demoniac frenzy.
The treasury ceased to pay the salary of the surviving exorcists, who were all recalled to their various houses.
Left to themselves such devils as remained soon took their leave.
After six years of incessant struggle, the Church Militant gave up the fight.
Its enemies promptly disappeared.
The long orgy was at an end.
If there had been no exorcists, it would never have begun.
