Fr Collins, who has written books on spirituality, said he regularly receives calls from people around the country reporting "strange happenings" in their homes.

I'll bet. When certain kinds of people find out that Collins believes in poltergeists,hauntings, and boogeymen, they'll fill his voice mailbox with paranoia.

The need for exorcists is rare, and the good ones operate under the radar. Collins must be writing a book.

Rome can easily take a big step to solve the problem by bringing back the minor order of exorcist in the seminaries. Offer the course separately for those already priests.

This can be done immediately with a minimum of fanfare. The traditional seminaries still offer the course of study.

Within the last couple of weeks, there was a thread on Rome's putting together some kind of education for priests to help them contend with occultism and Satanism. I wonder whether exorcism is part of it.
