The First Exorcism That Started it All

 A boy his face, ashen and distorted violently rides on the bed with income, comprehensible, strengths. He breaks out of his vines in a guttural, evil voice. She growls something incoherent. The priest holds up across momentarily repulsing, the boy the power of christ compels. You shouts the priest, the boy growls back his black teeth and caching between his snarled lips. The power of christ compels you that priest is about to get hurt. He doesn't fully know what he's up against, but this he thinks has got to be the work of the devil and is that opening scene sense of it? Like a movie once watched, perhaps one featuring a girl with a screw top head who doesn't mind using rather colorful language? It's because the exorcist we're talking about today served as the basis of that movie yeah. We mean the exorcist. The makers of the exorcist didn't pull the plot out of a hat. It was actually very closely based on the exorcism we're featuring today in the real version, the priest really did get hurt. That boy did things. The little boy should not be able to do, but we'll come back to the actual ex see them later. First of all, we won't blame somebody. You more scientifically minded folks were saying: there's just no way anyone could be possessed by the devil, the majority of the world, and we would assume think such a thing as demonic. Possession making little boys go. Mad is a made up story created by folks who have allowed the idea of satan to get in their heads. That's a good thing, a after all, we used to burn witches on this planet, something that is a disgrace to humanity in modern times. So, first of all, let's have a look at the people behind the exorcism were they, as the british might say, completely off their trolley, stark raving mad deranged fanatical nut jobs who, like bullying, children with mental health issues? You probably already knows that exorcisms are real lt thing and can be performed, provided the exorcist gets the green light from the church. According to news reports, the number of exorcisms in the usa has been on the increase. As of late and twenty eight team, the bbc reported that the vatican has invited two hundred and fifty priests from all over the world to attend an exorcist, the training course. We kid you not twenty twenty, the associated press called exorcisms commonplace. We're telling you this just so you understand the exorcisms are taken seriously by the church. Aren't you something undertaken by lunatics suffering from mental psychosis? So when we tell you that a priest named walter halloran was there for the exorcisms in today's show, you can bet he was a real priest who are honestly wanted to read the boy. If the devil there were a bunch of priests who saw that young boy do some incredible things, but not too many of them have talked in depth about it. The church was pretty hush hush about the matter with halloran. One saying I can't go on record. I never made an absolute statement about the things because I just didn't feel I was qualified the priest, raymond kate. Bishop was also there and he took notes. This is how we know what happened during those exorcisms of which there were quite a few when the devil squads in someone's head, he usually hungers down. It was bishop, a great name for a priest by the way that really went into detail. He said fourteen priests of tend to the exorcisms in total and all of them or something.
