For this reason the Catholic Church reserves exorcism to the clergy.

And have shrunk the word 'saint' to be applied to only a VERY small subset of believers, unlike the biblical description.

The saints formally canonized by the Church represent those people that we know with certainty are now in heaven. The Church does not teach that these are the only people in heaven.
