"The demon threatened to kill me in three months. I said, 'Very well'": this is the exorcism of the 21st century

The article discusses the phenomenon of modern-day exorcisms in Spain, focusing on the case of Catalina Davis, a Chilean woman who claimed to experience demonic possession. It outlines the process of exorcism according to Catholic teachings, explaining that it is reserved for cases of full possession by demons. The article notes that while formal exorcisms are rare, only four to five occur annually in Spain, the number of exorcists has increased significantly, from 26% of dioceses in 2011 to 37 priests today. The piece highlights the growing interest in exorcistic practices and the subjective nature of claims of demonic influence, contrasting them with the skepticism of those who view such experiences as extraordinary or even absurd.
