Burnt-out Catholic exorcists complain they face long lines of 'possessed' people, and little support from bishops

A survey from a Vatican-approved religious university in Rome found that Catholic exorcists feel overworked and undersupported by bishops, according to The Times of London.

Italian exorcists spoke to researchers at Regina Apostolorum's 16th annual exorcism course in Rome, attended by 120 participants, The Times reported.

The course attracted a significant crowd thanks to Pope Francis's support of exorcism, the paper said. He has previously spoken about helping those who are "possessed by evil," per The Times, and made exorcism an official Catholic practice, according to the Independent.

The conference's exorcists said that they needed more support from psychologists to determine whether people are mentally unstable or demonically possessed, The Times reported.

9. Exorcism

so people are possessed by some demon or devil or something. Good people. and God just yawns, not his problem. But then a priest comes along and does his voodoo which he do so good and God wakes up and decides that maybe he should act.

As Epicurus said;
"Why call him God?"
