...pleasure to learn that Protestant faiths are changing their mind about the Virgin Mary. She is, indeed, the Mother of God. Though Mary is honored by God, she is not a goddess, and Roman Catholicism, to which I belong, does not worship Mary as a divine person. Catholics revere Mary the same as they love an elder, affectionate and powerful sister, and that is enough to give them happiness.

After dying a virgin, she tells a gatekeeper to eternity that she wants to live out her sexual urges, to be "filled, engulfed, consumed by lust." She briefly gets that wish -which includes intimate contact with bananas and grapes, a snake and (Damiano's favorite marital aid) a water tube. (He has a similar scene in Deep Throat and later devoted an entire movie, Water Power, to high colonics.) With plenty of boy/girl, girl/girl and orgy "action," Devil...
