So the other night we watched 'The Conjuring' & it got me wondering if all religions had exorcisms & subsequently made horror movies about the subject or is it just a Christian thing?

I didnt like that film load of bull but the Exorcism Of Emily Rose was way better worth the watch. |

"Exorcisms are only practised in the Catholic Church and not common many priests will deny this practise exists!"
Yeah, thats what hubs said, said it's a Catholic invention as Protestants don't generally believe in the supernatural. That seems like a pretty broad sweep but maybe he's right. |

I've heard that word before. I think it's the same as a Genie. |

sure possession and exorcism pre dates Christianity and most organised religion. Paganism is big on the whole process and exorcism itself and take different forms |

Actually, the wikipedia page for "Exorcism_in_Christianity" (I know, I know, it's wikipedia.. pinch of salt and all that, but probably more founded than hearsay..) would beg to differ hat it's just a Catholic thing - there is mention of exorcism rites (if not specifically ordained exorcists) in Anglicanism, Baptists, Lutheranism, etc. etc.
Although I'm not religious, it's actually an interesting read.. |
