Maureen Dowd, "That Old Black Magic": How Do I Sign Up for an Exorcism?

Acknowledging that she is the progeny of the "rhythm method" (I often tell my children that timing is everything in life), Maureen Dowd observes in her latest New York Times op-ed entitled "That Old Black Magic" (http://www.nytimes.com/2012/02/15/opinion/dowd-that-old-black-magic.html?ref=opinion), that exorcism is back in fashion at the Vatican. Dowd writes:

"And, in a new book, Father Gabriele Amorth, the exorcist for the diocese of Rome — who has complained that yoga and Harry Potter are evil — claims that Pope Benedict exorcised two possessed men who were howling and banging their heads on the ground by blessing them."

Well, I just discovered that over the past year my bank overcharged me in the amount of some $10,000 for commissions not owed to them, and although they are willing to return the money, it will be credited to my account without interest. This also had me howling and banging my head on the ground. How do I sign up for an exorcism with the pope?
