Exorcism Course Continues at Vatican

Yahoo! News

A Vatican-recognized university is offering a course in exorcism and demonic possession for a second year, concerned about the devil's lure — particularly among young Italians.

Standing in solemn prayer, around 120 priests, lay people and theology students began the course that is intended to clear up misconceptions and understand what makes people turn to the occult.

The opening class of the "Exorcism and Prayer of Liberation" on Thursday at the Pontifical Academy Regina Apostolorum featured lectures about liturgical and spiritual aspects of Satanism and problems related to exorcism.
