Exorcism in Modern Times

The Catholic Church's relationship with exorcism has evolved significantly, especially after the popularity of the Exorcist movie. A divide emerged within the church between those advocating for a modern understanding of mental illness and traditionalists who embrace exorcism. Interestingly, the Vatican has even encouraged the appointment of official exorcists globally, with Pope Francis showing support for the practice. As technology advances, the concept of exorcism is adapting, with even remote rituals becoming a possibility.
