Here's a great article on the subject of exorcisms that I read today in the Atlantic magazine.(please click onto "article")
Apparently, the Catholic Church is quite active in this field and they say exorcisms are on the rise.
Here is a quote from Pope Francis in this article: "In sermons, interviews, and occasionally in tweets, Pope Francis has declared that Satan—whom he has referred to as Beelzebub, the Seducer, and the Great Dragon—is a literal being devoted to deceiving and debasing humans. In an apostolic exhortation released in April, he wrote, “We should not think of the devil as a myth, a representation, a symbol, a figure of speech or an idea,” but rather as a “personal being who assails us.”
I just have a couple of comments on this:
1) if the Catholic Church is concerned about the devil then perhaps they should begin the cleansing process with those priests who have already destroyed the lives of the innocents.
then,
2) they should exorcise the Catholic hierarchy completely and extend this exorcism back about a couple of thousand years or so when they extorted the teachings of a beautiful and wise Master for their gain...
The demons reside within us, and everyone on this planet is engaged in a self-exorcism ritual in one form or the other. If not, this is going to be a very unpleasant time on Earth.
We create our own demons and only WE can exorcise them.
