Well yeah. I mean for starters it was a wrong diagnosis: she didn't have devils but mental illness and exorcism he performed is a debunked pseudo medicine like homeopathy or chiropractic or phrenology - these things never cured anyone.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
