Let’s end the Halloween season by concluding our expose on 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 talk about cases of actual, validated demonic possession that the afflicted’s local exorcist could not cure.  These cases of possession were so severe that the demon-possessed individual had to be brought to the Pope himself to be cured, and in some cases, even the Pope couldn’t exercise the demons. Information is hard to come by regarding popes performing exorcisms; the Church is incredibly tight-lipped on this topic.  But, we were able to dig up a few tasty stories...
