Interview with an exorcist

FATHER John Bollan doesn’t like to be called an exorcist – even though he is the official exorcist of the Roman Catholic Church in Scotland. In fairness, he’s never actually had to perform a ‘full’ exorcism – the mysterious ritual, mythologised by the infamous horror movie The Exorcist, which the church believes can expel demons in possession of a human being. But it would be foolish to mistake scarcity of exorcisms in Scotland for non-existence – exorcism is very real, at least in the eyes of the Roman Catholic church, and according to the Vatican in 2018, demand is on the rise. The Vatican this week started training 50 new exorcists. . http://www.heraldscotland.com/news/16175749.Interview_with_an_exorcist/?ref=rss
