This just gets crazier and crazier as you read it, as is usually the case when it comes to Pope and his idiots living in the Vatican

Vatican-recognized exorcists’ group offers guidelines for ‘quality control’

ROME – A Vatican-recognized group of exorcists has issued a new handbook for practitioners of the Church’s ritual to combat demonic possession, among other things insisting that authority to perform exorcisms belongs exclusively to priests assigned by their diocesan bishop and no one else.

According to figures from the group, the move comes in response to a perception that there are too many rogue operators, both clerical and lay, who claim to perform exorcisms but who aren’t authorized to do so.

The decision to make the guidelines public, according to the statement, was motivated by a desire to “bring order to the questions about diabolic action and liberation from it, in order to avoid falling into dangerous deceptions and illusions.”

The guidelines warn that unauthorized priests and laity who attempt to perform exorcisms without authorization actually may open the door to further demonic influence over the people they’re trying to help.

The guidelines also cite particular behaviors which may become the occasion for demonic influence over people, including superstition and the practice of witchcraft.

Fit right in with the RCC attempts to arrogate authority for itself over everything and anything. It's what they do. It's what they want. Back in the day, one would tug the forelock and say "Yes, sir".

Now it is "Piss off with that lunacy". Exorcisms and demonic possession? Cop on with that crap.

Somehow, the various priests, Rabbis, Imams and what have you failed to realise that their authority is spent. Their "flocks " are all wandering off into a desert of individualised peculiar beliefs over which they have no control and they have no clue how to deal with that.

Although it is amusing to watch them make the attempt.
