The Catholic Church has established an exorcist hotline in Milan, its biggest diocese, to cope with demand. Monsignor Angelo Mascheroni, the diocese’s chief exorcist since 1995, said the curia had also appointed twice as many exorcists to cope with a doubling in the number of requests for help over 15 years.

“We get many requests for names, addresses and phone numbers; that’s why we’ve set up a switchboard in the curia from Monday to Friday from 2.30pm to 5pm,” he told the chiesadimilano website.

“People in need can call and will be able to find a priest in the same area who doesn’t have to travel too far.” And to that end, the number of demon-busting priests on call has increased from six to 12.

You really need to exorcise more.

I agree. They shouldn't have increased the number from six to twelve. Ten would have been enough.

Do you believe in demonic/satanic possession?

You have a better chance of being possessed than you do of being born gay.

I know people who I consider sane and reasonable who have told me that they have witnessed a demonic possession.

I've never experienced anything that I ever had any reason to believe was demonic or satanic, and I hope and pray that I never do.

I believe that evil originates in the hearts of men and women, but I don't pretend to know everything. OTOH, regardless of the origin of evil, we need to confront and defeat it. Unfortunately, our elites don't believe in good and evil, and find the ideas simplistic, unless they are dealing with conservatives, who they do believe are evil. Then, they use the secular form of exorcism, which is forced reeducation. Frankly, I'd rather have a priest try to save my soul than a diversity specialist try to "get my mind right."
