388 - How To Rid Yourself of Demons: A History of Exorcisms

Today I share the real practice and history of the classic Catholic exorcism that so many of us have seen in films like 1973's The Exorcist and 2023's The Pope's Exorcist. How does an exorcism actually work? Who qualifies? What is the official ritual? What is the history of exorcisms? All this and more - including an exploration of the real life exorcism that inspired the 1973 movie - in this demon-infested episode. The power of Christ compels you!
