Fascinating data, thanks for posting this Mark.

Now on the other hand, down here in the Deep South, the traditional Southern Baptist Exorcism involves the deacons of the church taking the suspected possessed member of the congregation out in back of the church annex and beating the devil out of him, heh. ;)

Well, interestingly, not all that long ago my niece (a member of a fundamentalist sect) had a roomie who was afflicted badly. The deacons and elders of the church came over and prayed, annointed her, and so on. No impact. I bought a St Benedict cross, had it properly blessed, and mailed it to her with instructions to wear it at all times.

This roomie was a former Catholic btw (a Filipina).

Interestingly, they were finally able to get in contact with the local Catholic priest (they had tried for weeks beforehand to do so after the intercessions of the deacons and elders from their church seemed ineffective...but could never get past his pant-suited "sister" secretary). The priest came over, blessed the house and performed some deliverance prayers on the roomie (I understand it was a rather violent reaction when she was initially sprinkled with holy water...).

It has been several weeks since...and the roomie hasn't had a single problem since that time.

And, yes, I understand that she is in the process of being reconciled with the Church.

I give credit to Jesus Christ through the intercession of St Benedict for that deliverance.
