I don’t trust the media when it comes to reports on faith. To say their track record stands against them is an understatement!

Then I read stories like this and anger against my church swells within me. If others can please read and offer a more calm and rational perspective I would appreciate the kind assistance.
 
This is not the church behind these atrocities, although they are apparently catholic priests. The church does believe in demons and demonic possession but what is described in this article in no way represents exorcisms as conducted by duly appointed exorcists. Although exorcisms can be violent in the extreme, the main weapons of exorcists is prayer, prayer and more prayer. not pinching and poking and whatever else the priest was doing. Please don’t hold the actions of a few well-intentioned but possibly misguided priests against the church.
 
Ignorance and superstition lead people astray, even in Catholic communities.
