No joke. According to a copy of the New Oxford Review
unearthed by Political Wire's Taegan Goddard.
I received an interesting article written in December 1994 by Lousiana gubernatorial candidate Bobby Jindal (R) for the New Oxford Review, an "orthodox Catholic magazine." The piece is titled "Physical Dimensions of Spiritual Warfare" and is about one of Jindal's friends from Brown University getting possessed by the devil. In the article, Jindal suggests that he too came under attack by the devil.
Anyone with Lexis/Nexis want to try and dig up the text of the article?
Update: A reader sent this PDF scan of the
article in question. Religious faith alone does not, obviously, disqualify a candidate for any political office. The question is whether an official can resist the temptation to use the trappings of his or her office to evangelize or otherwise attempt to impose religiosity on the public.
