[@Mr.Ambrose_Dyer_Armitage_Esq.]

Most nuns, through their faith, virtue, and sacrifice, have _EARNED_ men's respect. Suffer no delusion, though, most _females_ have NOT. I see what you are trying to do: create a contrast and celebrate one cleric's value on the basis of his courtesy toward your kind while implying the Church itself stands unworthy of such esteem. Duplicitous females like yourself, like Eve, your archetype and origin, are why nuns, though valued, will never run the church, whereas priests and pontiffs do and always will so long as it is God's Church. You are welcome to pray the rosary and seek out a priest to forgive you of your passive-aggressive and gender-obsessed intrigue. May God have mercy on your conniving soul.

[@Mr.Ambrose_Dyer_Armitage_Esq.]

You have no authority to demand men do anything, Daughter of Eve. Listen to God, Miss Nelson; His will is the only thing demanding attention, in contrast to your gynocentric intrigue. The only reason we're here and Hell's bossom is swollen with the souls of men and women is because Adam listened to a woman...just like you.

My Great Uncle is an exorcist of the Catholic Church. It wasn't his choice, when a catholic priest retire but still wants to work, the Bishop usually give him a side task on the dioscese, for him it was exorcist. He was kinda perplex at first, but then quickly started to love this. And it is indeed true that 99% of the time, he is just a free catholic psychiatrist. He is then followed by a team of parishioners that are psychiatrists or with similar competencies that can take over or recommend to medical professionals. Sometimes, the person who called him really want something, so he does a "show", like burning the object that is cursed. Like all services of the Catholic church this is 100% free, but sadly many people fake that they are catholic exorcist and ask for payment after exorcism, abusing people in distress.

The Cardinal doesn't care at all about the meeting, right until Amorth brings up the dead girl and the congregation, those get his attention. And the guy to his right is just vibing.

[@kriszgamer0013]

I am not part of any church, I don't have a religion, but I do believe. In the world, every religion's responsibility to enforce compassion, kindness, and protect the people from themselves. Everyone is a sinner, even priests, exorcists, the Pope himself, or any head of religion for that matter. Sins are always in everyone, and religion's purpose is not to eradicate sins, but to prevent people from succumbing to them. The only one who can fight evil is the one who knows it. The arrogance and pride is the main reason why religions can't work together to fight this evil. So if we want to defend ourselves, we must reflect on ourselves first.

[@lauracrimson]

Spoken like a true Jedi 😉

[@shoulderpyro]

when you have to enforce something you arent exactly on good moral ground yourself either. Anyone should be free to do as they please - albeit within confines of the laws of whatever country they find themselves in. Forcing people to show compassion and kindness will not do you any good. You cant force people to do things they do not want to do. If you try, you either get skewed work, or worse yet; twisted work.

[@kriszgamer0013]

@@shoulderpyro True. Bad choice of words. But it's also true that sometimes the law of whatever country the person is in could be guiding them into morally wrong acts. This is why religional institutes are so high up, so they can have a choice in the matter. It's very important to make those laws within the confines of good morals, and religion provides those morals. The problem is that many people think religion are laws themselves, and treat it very factual. But really, the teachings of religion are actually guidelines to good morals.
