As much as I despise the the Catholics, I must confess I do use one of their tomes as a basis of my work. That is the Malleus Maleficarum by Heinrich Kramer and James Sprenger. There's just so much common sense in there.

A most interesting observation Herr Doktor. I must confess to being unfamiliar with the work, but on a cursory examination it appears that the cathylicks banned the work some centuries ago, which would suggest a compelling interest in a more modern examination. While putting forth the usual baby killing rites and infant cannibalism we are all familiar with when it comes to witches, having the power to steal men’s penises was a surprise. Whether in actuality, or use as a metaphor, one does need to be concerned with this in light of the spread of feminazism in recent decades. This is not to mention that the US faces the possibility of a female presidential candidate whose husband's penile exploits seem to have been curtailed in recent years.

Absolutely Brother JenningsBryan. These are indeed dire days and the sooner the witchcraft laws are re-instated the better it will be for every one.

As you have mentioned a modern example of possible witchcraft with a certain presidential candidate, I would like to draw your attention to a passage from the Malleus Maleficarum to exemplify how entirely possible this scenario is:

Chapter VII

How, as it were, they Deprive Man of his Virile Member.

In the town of Ratisbon a certain young man who had an intrigue with a girl, wishing to leave her, lost his member; that is to say, some glamour was cast over it so that he could see or touch nothing but his smooth body. In his worry over this he went to a tavern to drink wine; and after he had sat there for a while he got into conversation with another woman who was there, and told her the cause of his sadness, explaining everything, and demonstrating in his body that it was so. The woman was astute, and asked whether he suspected anyone; and when he named such a one, unfolding the whole matter, she said: “If persuasion is not enough, you must use some violence, to induce her to restore to you your health.” So in the evening the young man watched the way by which the witch was in the habit of going, and finding her, prayed her to restore to him the health of his body. And when she maintained that she was innocent and knew nothing about it, he fell upon her, and winding a towel tightly about her neck, choked her, saying: “Unless you give me back my health, you shall die at my hands.” Then she, being unable to cry out, and growing black, said: “Let me go, and I will heal you.” The young man then relaxed the pressure of the towel, and the witch touched him with her hand between the thighs, saying: “Now you have what you desire.” And the young man, as he afterwards said, plainly felt, before he had verified it by looking or touching, that his member had been restored to him by the mere touch of the witch.

And we all know where Hilary has been....
