Catholic priests have long been masters of exorcism. Most protestant ministers who have encountered demons will barely speak of it. I’m not a Catholic, but I have tremendous respect for the priests who perform actions related to spiritual warfare.
I didn’t read the article. Right now the media recognizes the Catholic Church as an enemy to its Satanic campaign, and thus impugns the Pope and all things Catholic. If the media hates them, I love them, plain and simple, although in truth, I’ve always thought highly of the Catholics.
Well, to be fair, most priests don’t seem to really want to talk about it either. I think a lot of them find it all a little embarassing, either because they don’t believe in that stuff or that it “sensationalizes” the faith.

... well, then there are sects where EVERYTHING is about “deliverance” from possession. Those are the real scary ones, because they are playing with things they know not of.
There was once a girl I liked who I was trying to bring back to the Catholic church. I went with her to her new “church” to see its appeal to her. I found out they had performed a deliverance on her, and they pretty much messed her up badly.
The irony was everything was “this is demonic; that’s demonic.” But the worship leader had everyone pray to the god of Obednego. Now, those of us whose bibles weren’t edited by Luther know who the god of Obednego is. It ain’t the Father-God Creator. See, Mischach, Shadrack and Obednego were really named Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah. They were assigned the names of demon-gods by the Babylonians.
To make matters worse, he thought he would have fun with his mostly black congregations, and was joking, “Now, that’s the kind of god I could worship: Old, Bad N*gger!” (Get it: O-Bed-Nego?) “My god is one old, bad N*gger!”
These, of course, were King James-only types, and this joke stressed he was saying *O*bednigo. KJV uses *A*bednego. But then, that wasn’t explicitly demonic enough.
