If demonic possessions are so rare, then why the need for more exorcists? It's about control, IMHO. The need for exorcists suggests an impending danger to the masses, of demonic possessions. Religion is dying. The Catholic Church is a business. Fear is the commodity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GlitterRose Posted December 18, 2016 #78 Share Posted December 18, 2016 (edited) This isn't really surprising. Exorcism goes back and forth in terms of popularity. The Church kinda facepalms on the whole, but then you have these die-hard types that you basically have to patronize in order to keep priests. Let them gather and commiserate and then go off and bless the more superstitious folks, and at least you have someone to say morning Mass. Provided you can get anybody in the pews that isn't ready to kick the bucket next week (but then at least those folks often write the Church into their wills).

I agree with you in principle, but exorcism is endorsed by the Vatican. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/pope-francis-makes-exorcisms-official-catholic-practice-as-demon-fighting-priests-recognised-under-9580727.html http://www.ibtimes.com/pope-francis-exorcism-how-hes-brought-practice-back-modern-catholic-church-1884000 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole system is based on reward and punishment. Regardless of how many educated church officials know it's bogus, the parishioners can't. What else is gonna get them in the pews? And if you have parishioners who buy in, you have to at least have some priests buying in or pretending to.

The rest us are left scratching our heads about it, though, because the camera phone actually isn't relevant to either discussion. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And aliens aren't relevant to this discussion, either. Neither are aliens you can see with a FLIR relevant to the other one about dark matter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That guy is a character from Poltergeist 2. He was a preacher who locked his followers up in a cave, claiming the end of the world was coming. When it didn't, he set everyone on fire, including himself. There were no vampires involved. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monzaria Posted April 18, 2017 #97 Share Posted April 18, 2017 A good read is anything from Father Malachi Martin. He use to be a Vatican Exorcist till he started complaining about the changes in the Vatican that helps the interests of the Satanic. Most of his books are non-fiction. He did write Windswept House as fiction, about the Vatican solidifying their pact with Lucifer by performing a ritual in the 1970 in St. Peters. Let's just say that book and him calling out on the hypocricy of the Vatican ended his "Vatican Approved" Exorcist title. There aren't a shortage of Exorcists since there aren't many true possessions to demand more, most of them are NOT Vatican approved because they call out the Vatican on their falsities. On a side note, on an interview he admitted Windswept House is actually true, but he knew he wouldn't survive long (or the book for that matter) if he stated it when it came out. That just happened to be the last interview he gave. Soon after he had an accident in the bathroom and cracked his head open. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was vaguely aware of him in the 90's but my interest is piqued again. I'll be reading these soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
