Let’s start the Halloween season by discussing the ancient Rite of Exorcism. What do you think about when you hear the words demonic possession and exorcism? Does your mind automatically conjure those frightening Hollywood-inspired images? Blasphemous demons, spinning heads, projectile vomit, ultra-violence, and an old priest and a young priest? For most people, possession and exorcism are nothing more than overused horror movie troupes and cheap popcorn scares. If that’s the case, and exorcisms aren’t real, why do all major religions have a system of beliefs and practices in place to liberate man from the clutches of demonic possession? Why does the Vatican require that each diocese worldwide have a specially trained priest ready to fight demons and perform exorcisms whenever the need arises?
In this episode, we are covering the basics of exorcism: the history of the Rite of Exorcism, the different types of exorcisms, the real, accepted signs of bonified demonic possession, and the different stages of demonic possession. We’ve tossed in a few extra treats, too.
