Modernity,

comes to church,

there was so much violence and corruption sweeping over the Colombian port city of Buenaventura, it was impossible for the church to perform the number of exorcism required to put a stop to the crime wave, so a call to a high place was needed, and the top brass obliged, a helicopter was put at the disposal of the church, with the support of the National Navy, the representative of the Church will sprinkle holy water over the city in an attempt to get rid of demons, the event is scheduled for July 13th or 14th, when Buenaventura hosts its annual patron saints festivities, “We have to drive out the devil out of Buenaventura, to see if we can restore the peace and tranquility that our city has lost due to so many crimes, acts of corruption and with so much evil and drug trafficking that invades our port,” the Catholic Bishop said, “We want to go around Buenaventura from the air and sprinkle holy water and see if we can exorcise, drive out these demons that are destroying the port, so that the blessing of God comes and removes all this evil that invades our streets.” data shows that in the five months of 2019, 51 people were killed in Buenaventura, 20 more than in the same period of last year, furthermore, Buenaventura has become a strategic port for cartels smuggling drugs into the United States, so hopefully after blessings from high all of the crimes mentioned above will be a thing of the past, photograph by Shalone Cason/Unsplash.
