The history of Europe is rife with periods superstitious hysteria . Often brought on by periods of crisis . The plague for instance . I'm guessing this is just another one .

Church crisis? Such as, you're not going to church so you must be demon possessed?

Is that, not often enough, or to much?

Don't worry about it.  Can't have too many "Catholick Fuckhead" threads.

I was thinking more the lines of all, The economic  crisis, The immigration crisis , The potential nuclear crisis , The cracks forming in the EU . The fact you have big brother Putin not far away . Terrorism , Generally when big continent sweeping crisis like the Plague or Mongols or the Turks WW1 come up. People and the church start seeing demons everywhere . It's generally a manifestation of their own fears and anxieties .

I'm not sure about that. Sure, more stress, more anxiety, more crime....... Those can be addressed by non church entities. 

But why demons and exorcism? It feels like a play to prop up a/another false need for the church.
