A conference at a Vatican-linked university was told Muslims are queueing up to have demons cast out by Catholic priests, sometimes with the aid of a mobile phone, amidst increasing global demand for exorcism.
Giuseppe Ferrari, an expert on exorcisms said, “I don't see why we cannot do it for Muslims if they ask.”
Cardinal Simoni said that priests were now going high-tech to meet demands. He said, “There are priests who carry out exorcisms on their mobile phones – that's possible thanks to Jesus.”
Professor Ferrari said that he suspects priests are using their phones only to intone prayers. He said, “Priests pray with people on the phone to calm them down but if you are not there you cannot control the physical aspects of an exorcism.”
