Once again, a video from Michael Knowles. This one is an interview with an exorcist. Exceptional, frightening and inspiring all at the same time.

One of the things mentioned in the video is that Jesus spent 1/3 of his mission casting out demons, yet so many people today, even Christians, deny the existence of demons and the devil as a person. To do so denies scripture.
Another significant revelation is that there has never been a period of history where human sacrifice has been more prevalent. Of the 400,000 people that die every day, over 1/2 are aborted babies. Makes the fires of Gehenna and The Great Pyramid Tenochtitlan seem pedestrian in comparison. If you don't see the devil at work in this then you are blind.

Without a doubt, any Bible believing Christian must acknowledge the existence of the Devil, his angels, and demons. And demon possession is certainly a reality to those who are not Christian, and have not the Holy Spirit.
I do believe however, that demon possession is not always characterizied by how it was portrayed in the book and movie, 'the exorcist'. It can be, certainly. But it's my opinion, that when you walk into a Protestant church, there are those there who are demon possessed who act just like Protestants. Or, when you walk into a Roman church, there are those there who are demon possessed who act just like Romans.
And as to the 'casting out' of demons, I will say, every believer in Christ has that authority. It is not just given to a priest. But, that believer better be in a close walk with God and Christ. For Michael, an high arch angel, was very careful when he confronted Satan, to not make any appearance of standing in his own authority. (Jude 1:9) Satan outranked Michael. And Michael must rely on the Lord.
Most of the casting out of demons today in the Church is done in a very proud and boastful manner, as if the power comes from them. Foolish. I think of (Acts 19:11-16).
Also, it's important to note that just because a demon is cast out of one, doesn't mean they become Christian or saved. Hopefully they will. But they may not. (Matt. 12:43-45)

Didn't watch it did you? What you described is the way the media portrays exorcism not how they work.
No. Just like with 'links', if you don't have anything to say, don't send me to a link or video.

For those who actually watch videos and might be curious what an exorcism involves I found this informative and helpful.

What is so funny? What I do to your 'videos' and 'links' you do to my posts. You ignore them. You don't address them. Just like here, you don't address anything I said. Yet...you laugh.

I think his point was that if you had actually watched the video, it would have given you a different perspective. The Catholic Priest in the video states directly that he has no power, but that he is just the conduit through which the Lord works. That didn't sound to me as if it was "done in a very proud and boastful manner", as you suggested. But again, had you watched it, you would have seen how humble the man was.

As sdk pointed out, I laughed because if you had watched the video or even glanced at the link you would see that it is not what you think. It's almost as if people are afraid to look at or read something about the Catholic church. People complain about media bias in everything. Well, there is more media bias and stereotypes against the Catholic church than virtually anything else in the world. We're used to it.
I don't respond to every point someone makes in long posts because it's not practical to dissect everything in a format like this. I have found it best to focus on the most misunderstood aspect of the message.
I would also add that exorcisms are done in VERY controlled situations with NO media, never alone, but with only a very few people present due to the risk presented by the demons involved. It is too dangerous to be taken lightly. They are not recorded because to do so risks glorifying Satan.
