I personally agree with your theology, we are ourselves responsible for our decisions and when we choose evil we should not blame some external force, only ourselves
but just in case it might help, I’d love to see the good padre do an exorcism to drive the devils out of WashDC (starting at the top)
I think that there would be a need for MANY, MANY, MANY padres for that particular exorcism, as there are just way too many to be driven out.
Also, once there are all out, they MIGHT just re-enter the VERY willing soul. Not nice of me to say that but I sometimes wonder if godless people REALLY believe that there are no consequences for their behavior.
