FASCINATING FACTS ABOUT EXORCISM
Compiled by Dr. Ysamur M. Flores-Peña, Associate Professor, UCLA
* 42% of Americans believe in possession by the devil.
* There are dozens of references of Jesus exorcising demons in the Gospels.
* Exorcisms can be done on inanimate objects or places as well as on people. These
need not be “real exorcisms” but can be “simple exorcisms” (usually thought of as
baptizing the infant or “blessing” the house or place).
* By conservative estimates, there are at least five or six hundred evangelical
exorcism ministries in operation today, and quite possibly two or three times this
many.
* The Catholic Church has at least 10 official exorcists in the US.
