Sad. Probably a Jesuit. Did you know that "The Exorcist" is based on an actual possession from the 1950's? -

I teach the Blatty novel, the film, and its background every semester in a film and lit class I teach.
FYI: Another more recent film based on an actual posession is "The Exorcism of Emily Rose."

Pardon for my jumping into a topic thats unrelated to the thread at hand, but my curiosity is getting the better of me. I have seen comments throughout FR regarding a distrust of Jesuits (please understand I am just a Catholic housewife with not much education in the different orders of the Roman Catholic Church). I am a bit confused by your statement that a Jesuit goes against the theological stance of the RCC...Weren't they formed in order to defend the theological stance of the RCC?
Just asking because I dont know. Best,
