"The wizard at Endor who assumed the title Emmanuel, has been consumed by divine indignation. And now his disciples bewail his ignominious exit. No marvel, one third of God’s angels followed the disgraced anointed cherub Lucifer!!
According to the cleric, God has broken the head of the dragon with his mighty blows because as he is conquering the adversaries of his church.
He concluded:
