A Day in the Life of a Modern American Exorcist

[@Kareymorris]

Father Vince was the priest at our church for many years, he actually baptized my son. He's a very interesting man. Very dry and matter of fact, but funny (as you can tell). My favorite thing he ever said about exorcism is that people get it in their head that he's gonna show up and swing dead chickens around by their necks and burn sage or something. People are surprised that exorcism is actually just prayer and faith in God. His stories are incredible, but told like it's just another day at work. He's wholly unaffected by the stunts of Satan, just another day at the office. If you meet him, you'd completely understand why he was chosen for the role. Amazing guy. One day he rang my doorbell and I thought, "oh shit... there's an exorcist on my porch. This can't be good." He was just returning my ID that I dropped at church. 😂 Normal everyday guy. My family and I are big fans.

i like how vice conveniently left out how in the Catholic Church anybody who says they need an exorcism has to go through extensive medical and psychological examinations to make sure that what they are experiencing is definitely not a mental illness

[@KatRunion]

Except that’s not always true, especially if the family is close to the priest of their parish. I’ve known kids who have gotten them and not had a psychiatrist evaluation. Also you can read stories of ex Catholics who say the same things.

[@liambrunner3026]

@@KatRunion Then they were lying. First off very few priests are actually exorcists. Secondly it is a law in the Church that a priest HAS to obey (or they could lose their job) to get a med and psych eval before an exorcism and even then, any priest chosen to be an exorcist has been chosen for being prudent.

[@potatoes_1314]

My professor in religion and ethics told us of his first time seeing an exorcism when he was in college he assisted a pastor with some deacons in casting the demon away through songs and prayers. The possessed man turned to their side and said in a demonic voice "You're praying to cast me out when you're cheating with your wife?" then one of the deacons got up and was too terrified he walked away.

[@monicarenee7949]

Now that’s a real possession!

[@demetriushuffman7030]

Yeah. My grandma told me stories about possession from back in the day. She said on day there was a witch in the church. A little lady who started to scream in a very loud weird voice. She said it took 5 big grown black men to hold her. She said as the woman was being prayed for her arms and legs were growing and stretching and moving like snakes. She said during the initial scuffle the woman was able to throw a man or two until they all grabbed her. I've seen some crazy things myself and experienced some crazy things. So absolutely I believe that there are personalities outside of our ability to comprehend that are able to over take human facilities. I mean... UFO and UAP phenomenon show some of the same freaky instances, as well as the power of Jesus being something able to combat and stop UFO visitation. But no one talks about that either. The true fool is the one who says... Oh there's nothing but this... Good luck.

[@TheMeJustMe75]

I have had first hand experience with a demon. It's nothing like in the movies. I did experience temperature change, felt like something was breathing in my face and there were growls and a sense of anger. I saw absolutely nothing, no hideous creature, it was invisible. When I spoke the name of Jesus it went ballistic but it never touched me. It ended up going down the hallway into a bedroom. The door slammed and you could see the door move like someone was punching the door from the other side. When my friends and I prayed it started crying out, like it was multiple voices. God can give you strength in these times and fear is gone. After it's over then your mind freaks out.

[@jillianh7565]

I think I’ve seen demon manifestations as well. I met this one guy who hated when I talked about the Trinity. Eventually I tried casting out the spirit he was talking to; it took three hours before everything stopped and during that time, this boy tried to curse me. It didn’t work, but by the end of the conversation I was physically and spiritually exhausted.

[@taylorsmith7034]

LittleMissFacts I agree, I NEVER believed in the paranormal due to being an Atheist. About 10 years ago, my girlfriend and I were experiencing strange events in the house (seeing/hearing things). Then it got physical when I had something pinch my butt and rub my lower back, but nothing was there. The next year we moved to a rough part of Atlanta and everyone who lived there said something evil is out at night and to not go out. We laughed it off still not fully believing the previous events. Then all three of my animals died 8 days a part and for all different reasons (I had my dog for 13 years, my one cat for 10 years, and the other cat for 2 years, so it has nothing to do with age). We had more paranormal things happen then my mom experienced it a couple of times. Whatever this is has followed us place to place over the last decade. I’ve also had dreams of “demons” attacking me on numerous occasions. It isn’t as bad since we moved from that bad part of town (6/7 years ago) but we have experienced strange things since then and especially here recently (DVD’s went flying across the room for no reason). I still don’t fully believe what we’ve experienced, but I can’t explain it either. We don’t have the answers for everything so who knows what is really out there?

[@Fireglo]

It's funny how "Paranormal" occurrences are always things like a door shutting by itself (explainable using physics), a cold chill when alone at night and the feeling of being watched (explainable using psychology and biology), why don't ghosts lift up a car or something?

[@Fireglo]

@Deutscher Thanos thanks Captain obvious

[@VetoMega]

@@taylorsmith7034 I too have experienced things with several people present that we can not explain. Multiple times. Anyone that claims a title like atheist, or they say [fill in the blank] isn't possible, are close minded. The most intelligent thing you can say is I just don't know. Even science has "proven" that there are multiple dimensions. We can't see the dimensions, but it does not mean that they do not exist. This includes intelligent beings that may, or may not exist on an alternate plane. Some people call these beings demons. Also, science changes with better technology, and research quite often. Nothing is definitive except death, and even death could be just part of our evolution.

I grew up as a Catholic, got into Pentecostal churches, then went back to being a Catholic. The priests in the Catholic church are less concerned about converting people to their faith and more about helping people in the community, even if they are not Catholics. Catholic priests, especially the Jesuits, have no problem relying on science and psychology and believing experts in the field. In fact, in my university, our President back then was a priest with a doctorate in Physics. They are definitely more open-minded and temperate than Pentecostals based on my experience. Speaking of exorcisms, my Jesuit priest friend told me that exorcisms in the Catholic church are documented. They have videos of the sessions, though not publicly available I suppose. He told me that one of the cases involved a baby that could lift a fridge. It sounds funny when I type it here, but when he told me it was documented on video I got scared a little bit. Anyway, healthy skepticism is good. That's how we avoid accidents and injuries. The priest himself said it, most claims of demonic possession are fake and needs mental health support.

Something that crossed my mind was when Dr. Shermer brought up the point about confirmation bias and "only seeing what you want to see." I realized that the same thing could be said for skeptics. They choose not to believe and so they only see what confirms this bias. Unfortunately I have to give more credit to the priest than the skeptic because the priest does acknowledge that the overwhelming majority of cases are fake, however, the skeptic writes all cases off as fake without keeping an open mind to possibly being wrong. He also mentions things that we can't explain yet, for the sake of an argument, couldn't supernatural stuff fall into that category?

This is glossolalia, a device of the Pentecostal beliefs of some congregations within that Protestant faith. Evangelicals who take cues from Pentecostal beliefs and practices also make use of it. This isn’t the Speaking in Tongues the Catholic Church understands the Bible is talking about. Catholics believe this to be one of the Gifts of the Holy Spirit, but not in the way Pentecostals understand it. Catholics believe it to be the miraculous ability God the Father grants through the Holy Spirit to those sanctified to proceed with the Mission of the Church, the mission to make of all peoples believers in Jesus Christ. It is the actual ability to speak in or be understood in languages you don’t know. It’s the first power the Apostles were given when the Holy Spirit first came to them.

You're just begging the question, and assuming that the supernatural doesn't exist if you really think there's no evidence for it. Science doesn't even "prove" its own theories, anyhow. It only falsifies, and does so by showing that a theories' predictions don't hold up to empirical data. In the case of an idea like, "spiritual forces can sometimes influence our world", science could never falsify it. It doesn't make any predictions that can be tested scientifically. It isn't science, so it's nonsensical to hold it to scientific standards.

Now there are souls around that aren’t demons, they cannot tough or harm us, but they like to mess around with humans with physical objects, they cannot come to you as a dead family member, however they can talk to you through the satanic games. These souls are of ex witches who have made a Covenant with Satan so that they wouldn’t have to go to hell right away. And yes, God and Jesus are real, and they created all of us.

German Bro German Bro I guess. I’m a skeptic, I believe in God and that there is evil, but I always think people are faking it, still always do. But I remember once, when I was ending my secondary school (high school) one day a girl started acting weird and started being rude then started screaming (kinda like our normal manic attack or something)Since I went to a christian school they called a priest and a few other ‘prayer warriors’. They prayed over her, I remember standing at the end of the sport field where they caught her (she was running around) and continued praying for her, I whispered to a friend, reminds me of the Emily Rose’s movie, we both then chuckled. Suddenly, this girl screamed my name and said to me, “I killed her”. Everyone looked at me and my friend and called us over. She started telling us that she killed the girl and that she will bring us to hell too. I know Emily Rose isn’t the real name of the girl, but the scariest thing for me was that she knew what we were whispering when we were meters away while she was being prayed over (loudly) plus she knew our names. I never knew the girl, she was so much younger than us, I was a senior then. I’ll never forget that moment that happened over 6 years ago. So you can say I’m somewhat a believer but a skeptic over people. LOL

I've experienced what is what people may refer to as the sleep paralysis demon various times. But the very first time I ever encountered the being was when I first actually got serious about reading the Bible. I had picked up the book and read from Genesis to Exodus in one sitting. Prior to that there would always be strange sounds in the several houses my family and I would move to at the point of bringing in a priest to bless hour house once. It's one thing for kids to perhaps experience something scary at night but it did eventually start getting more and more out of hand. My family was always catholic or at least during the time my mother was married to her ex husband. However the man was very sinful in terms of cheating, drinking, smoking, and God knows what else. All these years later I believe it was him that was carrying all these demons around with him because there was no way every house we went to seemed to have a haunting. Even other family members have spoken up whenever they'd visit that some weird things would happen at night. From strange sounds of footsteps when no one has gotten up to, the TVs turning on by themselves in different rooms, we'd have toys go off by themselves, my moms ex husband himself has heard someone say Jesus right after we went to bed after watching Passion of the Christ for the time (that night was the night our toys onthe first floor kept going on, both he and my mom were also awakened by the sound of sand being thrown at their window) Basically a lot of weird things have followed me which I thinks stems from that. But the ultimate evil act he committed was raping my sister was was just a child. Then things really start kicking up. Only we had not known he did that until years later and it made sense why thing began getting weirder. He was always abusive to me and even handed me my first drink of alcohol at a very very young age. I'm an alcoholic to this day now. I do believe the Lord looks out for me, I have felt his presence and can if I truly ask him for it. I played an Ouja board once when I was young and was told 3 demons follow me. I suppose one is the addiction to alcohol, the sleep paralysis, and a succubus. I have literally on only two occasions been wide awake and felt like something was having sex with me. And even if I tried to somehow use my brain to replicate that specific sensation I never could. However I was introduced to last at an age no child should've been introduced to. Demons are real, they're around us more often than we care to pay attention to for whatever the reason. Its not always acting out and speaking in tongues, sometimes it's really not being in control of yourself

I remember the pastor asking who Satan was he growled through that woman and green stuff was coming out of her mouth she yelled in a manly voice “YOU KNOW WHO I AM!!!!! “ LUCIFER IS MY NAME” I just just told my 27 year old daughter about this story the other day because we were discussing a text she got from a guy that likes her, the guy told my daughter he wanted her soul, I told her that wasn’t the guy that was Satan speaking directly through him. My daughter told the guy a few days later what he had said, he had no memory of it, I told her sure he didn’t remember what he said because Satan took over. I told my daughter demons are real and we come in contact with them every day they walk around in human form. The murderer, the child molestor, the abuser, the robbers, those are just a few examples of demons. These type of people are not themselves Satan has taken over their lives.

Fun fact: you don't need to be appointed anything by any organization in order to cast out demons.. Jesus said "these signs shall follow those who believe, IN MY NAME they will cast out demons, ..." And most demonic activity is actually 'oppression' and not "possessions". Scripture shows the majority of demonic activity to be oppressions as opposed to possessions though both can surely take place. Possession means taking full ownership of something. You don't need "holy water" or a crucifix to cast out demons! And you definitely don't need Mary. Jesus didn't carry a handbag laden with items to produce what was done with a single word!

There is so many things out there that could posses you, without you even knowing. Another evil I have experienced is that people can hide their true personalities for a long time, when you find out for a fact you believed something else or blamed someone else for many years, and that can brake you.

[@timalimdim]

The priest's closing line sums it up pretty well. "If you're a person of faith, you begin with the premise that believing is seeing. People that may come from more of a scientific background may begin with the premise that 'I have to see in order to believe.'" Speaking as someone who was raised in a religious home, but who now has no faith, I don't see the idea of belief coming first (before evidence) as a virtue anymore. I don't need to literally "see" in order to believe--there's a lot we can't see--but I do need evidence before I have certainty. I need to be convinced in order to believe.

The bottom line is, other people are more of a danger to us than spirits. I sit on the fence of all of this. I once went to a church, merely out of curiosity, to witness people being touched by a priest that does exorcisms and they freaked out a bit and fell down after he touched them, but I felt that this was just their own personal reaction over something imagined. I certainly didn't feel or sense anything in the church while this was going on. I also had a crazy indigenous lady living next door to me, who had heard a false rumour that I was mentally ill (I was not at all and was just a normal stable person working as a manager in the corporate sector). She then had her whole household convinced that in order to be mentally ill, that meant I was possessed by bad spirits or cursed (due to their cultural beliefs on mental illness). I can't tell you what a pain in the arse that was to live next door to and just plain mean. I thought they were idiots. On the other hand, twice now I've seen smarmy sceptic investigative journalists investigate the paranormal as part of a TV show and both times, in the end, they had a paranormal experience. One of them was Louis Theroux when he met with Ama the Hugging Saint from India, convinced it was a load of mumbo jumbo. Ama is said to have something powerfully spiritual within her that effects people when she hugs them, like she makes them high or something. When Louis hugged Ama, he almost fainted! He admitted that he did feel something happen. The other TV show, I've posted a link to below (read the part at the bottom, under episode 8). This host mocked the paranormal throughout his entire TV series, but in the final episode he had an exorcism and admitted that he couldn't remember what happened. He freaked out during the exorcism as though it was real and he was having evil spirits removed from him (ones he picked up during the making of his show, as he had been to see people doing voodoo, etc). He has said very little about what happened in that episode. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Safran_vs_God

We grew up with a demonic haunting which completely devastated our family. Footsteps running down the hall in the middle of the night while nobody else was home was the very least of our problems. Four direct family members died tragic premature deaths and the rest of us suffered immensely with one member of the family still having demons creeping into their bed and I mean LITERALLY. Not so long ago she just got into bed and there was dim light in the room. She heard something walking on the floor and instantly she was frozen with fear. As she lay there on the bed unable to move she saw something jump onto the end of the bed under the blankets and start making its way up under the duvet. Eventually she broke herself free enough to look under the duvet only to see a horrific deformed demonic arm and hand reaching up towards her. She was beyond terrified. I had often told her how I got rid of these things from my life and she remembered this so began to order the thing away in Jesus name but found herself so terrified she was unable to speak so in her mind she began shouting "By the Almighty power of God I command that you go away and stay away forever more in Jesus MIGHTY name amen!" and in the blink of an eye that "thing" scurried back down under the duvet to the foot of the bed, dropped to the floor and then ran out (through) the closed door. I could go on all night about the countless things that happened to me in that house but instead I'll leave you with this. after over 20 years of suffering incredible torment at the hands of these things, including the fact that they would follow me wherever I moved, I finally after having tried EVERYTHING done what an old friend of mine had often advised but I had always up to that point completely disregarded as naive absurdity. I ordered them away by the almighty power of God in Jesus name. The first time I done it a dark cloud of horrific misery that you could practically taste lifted from my world and I could finally see in full color once more (for many years my vision had adjusted to portray the world as very low contrast, very very dull, close to gray-scale). When that lifted I knew right there and then that Jesus Christ was real and coming from someone who once identified as a satanist I assure you I was not biased in that regard one bit. I spent my life denying Christianity as naive folklore but when I saw the power of that name I knew right there and then that Jesus Christ is not only real but alive and active and just waiting on us to call him to deliver us from the wicked spirits that are quite frankly now rampant throughout our society. Try it and you will see also. I order demons away every day now in Jesus name and have not suffered their torments since and as I am training to be a deliverance minister/exorcist I plan on teaching a lot more people to also claim their power. Heaven and Hell is real guys but so too is Jesus Christ and he can quite frankly mop the floor of the entire demonic army in one feel swoop if we will but call on him. God help us all.

Their ignorance about a subject will be just as valid as your ignorance about a subject. Therefore, the child's gap-filling claims should be just as valid your gap-filling claims right? You know what's ACTUALLY intellectually humble? Recognizing you don't understand something and NOT rushing to fill that gap in knowledge with fantastical ideas. You should sit in unknowns and WAIT for evidence. You don't rush to conclusions just because it feels good. And if you don't have any real evidence for a claim then you DON'T offer that claim obedience or belief just because you're afraid to admit you sit in ignorance. That priest's "humility" is a performative virtue signal. He LOOKS humble but he's claiming all kinds of knowledge and authority over other people and how they should think. And his evidence for this authority? Nothing but more claims of authority. It would be pathetically hilarious if it wasn't so dangerous.

Well, the priest had supernatural experiences. If he isn't lying about them (which I don't think he is) then I don't see why he shouldn't speak of those experiences while admitting they can't be fully understood. The sceptic, however, gave an absolute statement claiming that he *knows* nothing supernatural exists. I don't really consider that more humble than the priest saying he isn't there to convince anyone or that he can't explain everything he's experienced.

@@filipmistewicz4998 The priest had an experience and INTERPRETED it as a "supernatural" experience that fit perfectly into his preexisting worldview. How is it that religiously minded people always have supernatural experiences that conform perfectly with their preset religious views? Hindus have Hindu experiences. Jews have Jewish experiences. Mormons have Mormon experiences. And they all use the interpretation of those experiences as evidence that their worldview is more correct than the other. These adults are having supernatural experiences in the same way that children see supernatural monsters under their bed. Why would we place any confidence in the interpretations of these adults over the exact same type of interpretations from children?

[@thevidsgroup576]

Let’s not forget the fact that there are more than just catholic beliefs of evil entities and the Bible is not the only thing that can cure one from evil. but based off of the 1000s of years of evidence stating that people have shown signs of demonic possession is surely enough to confirm that there is something supernatural and something that is beyond our visual dimension to understand or see exists. Now this is something only open minded people can understand because some believe that this is childish or something made up to make us believe in religion or God and the devil but there is so much more beyond our dimensions that these supernatural beings live in to where multiple can exist from all beliefs and experiences with them across the world in different cultures. So this is something beyond the basic scriptures, holy water, and cross, now these are materials and words that are of good intentions and that can help one in the state but there is so much more that we humans are still scratching the surface to. Very interesting that some can look up at the stars and think that the impossible is impossible, the more we understand the universe the more we understand our connection to it and our powers within it. We were gifted with powerful minds that can create within our own 3 dimensional realm, just think what others can do in the other dimensions.

[@filipmistewicz4998]

Why would you consider materialistic interpretation superior? That's not exactly philosophically honest. Also, consider how the priest says he CAN'T provide definitive proof of the supernatural, but the sceptic club president says 'there exists nothing supernatural' as if he could produce proof, which he cannot.

I'm Pagan and kind of believe in possession (not demonic possession but spiritual possession). It's interesting to see what the Church's take on it is. I think seeing where our beliefs are similar and different is super important so everyone can learn and grow, so long as we're mature and respectful.

[@TGODZebra7]

Demons are evil spirits so it’s the same thing

[@youtubeshadowbannedme]

@@TGODZebra7 no its not, demons were originally referred to and daemons and were viewed as good. of course, many entities considered to be demons were originally gods worshipped by pagan religions, but changed to be evil as a way to convince people to convert to the Abrahamic faiths.

[@Elisashaa]

@@youtubeshadowbannedme demons are never considered good spirits . Demons are evil and will always be evil . Many religions believe this and it exists in this physical world.

[@sasquatchdonut2674]

@@TGODZebra7 not really. A human spirit can be an evil spirit, but demons were never human so they’re different

[@johnnymorningstar2855]

There is definitely demonic types of possessions I think. But it's rarely ever like the movies. Most of it starts small and then becomes unrecognizable when you see people possessed. I do in away believe in taking certain substances can cause possession but we chalk it up to being drunk or high on drugs. I'm aware there is scientific explanation as to what goes on in a humans brain when they take something but I've yet to find information on why it seems a specific personality is involved depending on what was used. Not saying I'm the genius with all the answers here but as an addict myself that does believe in the One, I've been around plenty of people who act similarly though the words are different if you get what I mean.

I grew up originally from a Catholic family, and didn't go to church much. Some prayers at night and lead to believe the Bible was real. As I got older I started becoming a huge skeptic. I love science and reason. I explored eastern religion. And it really has been a huge part of my life. And now that I'm older I feel like Christianity is what makes me feel whole. If it's real or not I'm not gonna argue, but it just makes me feel complete. I guess the only truth is in the beholder. Everyone is right and everyone is wrong. Cant go wrong though if it works for you.
