If he were spooked enough to return to orthodoxy, he would have gotten permission from his bishop to do an authorized exorcism instead of doing one that didn’t even invoke the Name of Jesus.
Ok. It wasn’t perfect. Go on and keep hating I guess. Not i
“that didn’t even invoke the Name of Jesus.”
Many years ago (in the early 1990’s), I was working with a woman who was in a very dark place. I had never met anyone this lost.
We were standing facing each other at arms length. I ask her to lay her hands on mine, palms down and to say the Lord’s Prayer with me.
As soon as we began, a dark evel spirit came out of her and into my chest, causing me to fly back into the wall. It felt like a 2x4 was shoved through my chest it hurt so much.
It took 5 days of prayer for it to leave me. When it did, it tried to return to the woman where it came from.
She was at least 15 miles away and at the exact time it left me, it cramped her right hand and proceeded to move up her arm, paralyzing the right side of her body. They were ready to take her to the hospital when she remembered my instructions.
I told her that if she felt severe cramping in a foot or hand, immediately start reciting the Lord’s Prayer. When she did, the energy of the prayer forced it from her body. It hung around her house looking for an opportunity to re-enter her.
It took me another 4 days of prayer until it was totally removed from this realm. It was pure evil. I have only ever encountered one worse in many years of doing exorcisms.
I think if memory is correct, unless a priest is trained to be an exocist, he would not need permission.
” he would have gotten permission from his bishop to do an authorized exorcism”
All born-again Christians are “authorized” to rebuke Satan and his demons. You don’t need some guy acting as a middle man. Doubtful that God even heard this chaplain’s prayer, as he looks upon sin (homosexuality) favorably. He isn’t in a “right relationship” with God. It matters.
