Farai Dziva|A Catholic bishop is planning to spray holy water on a Columbian town to exorcise demons.

According to Newsweek Monsignor Rubén Darío Jaramillo Montoya, the appointed Catholic bishop of Buenaventura, Colombia, said he’s planning to use a navy helicopter to drop gallons of holy water on his town on July 14, which happens to be the feast day of Buenaventura’s patron saint, St. Bonaventure.

As the country’s busiest port, the town has, as Newsweek reports, “been ravaged by paramilitary gangs, who extort, kidnap and terrorize locals.”

“We want to go around the whole of Buenaventura from the air and pour holy water onto it … to see if we exorcise all those demons that are destroying our port,” Bishop Montoya told local media.

“So that God’s blessing comes and gets rid of all the wickedness that is in our streets.”

“In Buenaventura, we have to get rid of the devil to see if we can return the tranquillity that the city has lost with so many crimes, acts of corruption and so much evil and drug trafficking,” he told local media.

“It will be a great public demonstration for the entire community, where we will pour holy water to see if so many bad things end and the devil goes out of here.”
