Naturally, this increasing belief in demonic possession has also led to an increase in the numbers of exorcisms that priests and others are called to perform. Again, precise figures are not available, but one high-profile exorcist in america, father vincent lampert, the exorcist for the archdiocese of indianapolis, told a reporter in october 2018 that he had received over 1,700 requests for exorcisms so far that year, the highest number he had ever experienced. Other catholic priests trained in exorcism rites in north america had said that this aspect of their ministry has become so overwhelming that they can barely cope with requests for exorcisms. Have you ever wondered: oWhat are demons? oWhere do they come from? oWhat do they want? oWhat are the levels of demonic activity? oHow does the catholic church diagnose and treat demonic activity? oWhat is true possession? oWhat happens in a real exorcism?
