You cast out demons in the name of Jesus. His name does the trick . Some are harder to do than others - it's a time thing. A lot of grief is due to the wanton roaming of bad spirits but not in the same sense of the Scientology narrative. Some spirits refuse to leave and take years to banish. But it's all done in the name of Jesus since he is the head honcho of the spirit world and is the chief law enforcement officer of the great beyond.

All this is written in various places - some in the bible, some in writings of the great exorcists.

Families are haunted for generations by the same spirits. The latest pope has written about the loss of understanding and loss of acknowledgement of the 'spiritual world'. B16 has hit the nail on the head. "Modern' secularists can't grasp anything they can't hear, see, smell or touch. Nevermind that dogs can see in the infra-red, raptors can see in the ultra-violet and any outdoor animal has a superior sense of smell to indoor human noses.

The world of the spirit is largely ignored by all since they dont see any of its direct influence. Thank the lord there are still those who know evil when they see it and know what to do about it...
