 | | Rome's exorcist, the Rev. Gabriele Amorth, was quoted in the article as saying, "She began screaming incomprehensibly and speaking in a 'cavernous voice.'" The woman, "a 19-year-old with a history of possession," was not affected by the Pope's prayers. | | | The Christian evangelist and self-described exorcist from Denver, Colo., said he hasn't seen any spinning heads or spitting of green pea soup as he endeavors to rid tormented souls of what he believes are their demons. | | | Mombasa Anglican bishop Julius Kalu said the Bible was against the practices as they caused fear among the people. |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Exorcist |
| | In the Eastern Church, a specially ordained order of exorcists (or of acolytes, or door-keepers) has never been established but in the Western Church, these three minor orders with that of lectors as a fourth) were instituted shortly before the middle of the third century. | | | Pope Cornelius (261-252) mentions in his letter to Fabius that there were then in the Roman Church forty-two acolytes, and fifty-two exorcists, readers, and door-keepers (Eusebius, Hist. | | | Martin of Tours (Dial., III (II), 6; P.L., XX, 215), that he was in the habit of casting out demons by prayer alone without having recourse to the imposition of hands or the formulae usually employed by the clergy. |

| | The Exorcist |
| | The damnation of Regan is never at issue: her body and the ensuing exorcism merely provide the opportunity for the demon's confrontation with men of faith, especially the exorcist Lankester Merrin, with whom it has previously battled and lost. | | | Together these books revitalized the fantasy-horror genre, and, with few exceptions, remain the most literate and frightening works of the past twenty-five years. | | | That warfare, however, has changed significantly in a post-Freudian world that has redefined the soul and, more importantly, what constitutes evil. |

| | Perhaps the coolest thing about the reissue version of The Exorcist are all the “ghost images” that keep popping up for fractions of a second when Regan’s demon is about to show its hand. | | | The possession of Regan MacNeil, or so the book has it, is a grudge match between the Babylonian demon Pazuzu and Father Merrin. | | | And it seems to me that the re-release of The Exorcist presents me with a perfect excuse to do just that. |

| | The office of exorcist was not a part of the sacrament of Holy Orders but was instead first conferred on those who had the special charism to carry out its duties and later to those studying for the priesthood. | | | In the former ministry of the Roman Catholic Church, exorcist was a specific minor order, received after porter. | | | Its duties historically were to perform exorcisms, especially the exorcism of the catechumen in the rite of Baptism, but by the time of the Council of Trent when this order was formally defined, its role was confined exclusively to baptism, leaving exorcisms of demons to priests. |

| | The Exorcist : film review |
| | The Exorcist is a wonderful meditation on faith and how belief in faith can conquer any and all evil. | | | The main characters (with the exception of 12-year old Regan) each have a test of faith brought before them here: with Father Karras, it is whether or not he is cut out to be a priest. | | | Aside from the acting and overall tone of the movie, I believe that that it is the underlying theme of faith that makes The Exorcist so unique. |

| | The Exorcist Movie Review by Anthony Leong from MediaCircus.net |
| | Blatty, who heard of the account while attending a theology class while at Georgetown University, wrote the best-selling novel using details from the case-he was so faithful to actual events that the Roman Catholic Church gave their blessing to both the novel and the film. | | | Some of their problems come down to faith, their vocation, and meaning of their lives, and I can't cut it anymore. | | | For the uninitiated, "The Exorcist" is the fictionalized account of a Roman Catholic exorcism that was recounted in the pages of the Washington Post in August of 1949. |

| | I became absorbed watching Father Karras caring for his aging mother and the close relationship they have, seeing him depressed and sharing a drink with a fellow priest as he discusses his own issues with faith. | | | The Exorcist is a very slow movie that actually features a full blown plot, its characters, and their associated arcs. | | | The fact that the movie resists the temptation to jump right into the acknowledgment that Regan is possessed continues to build up the epic Good versus Evil, God versus Satan, the exorcist versus the demon, feel. |

| | The solution to Regan's rebellion is the forcible acceptance of Jesus and the Church, which seems a particularly forceful anticipation of the role of the religious right in subsequent political discourse. | | | Chris McNeill's life represents the middle class, the status quo; Regan turns into a foul-mouthed, sexually profligate grotesque who challenges the very fabric of traditional "family values" (to use the neo-conservative lexicon). | | | From this point on, it shocks for the sake of shocking, where in its first half, its shocks seem part of the organic whole of the movie. |
