    • Rome’s most well known exorcist says Pope Francis performed an exorcism in St. Peter’s Square last Sunday and that the man was possessed because of Mexico’s abortion law.

    • It looks more like Casual Frank is putting something in the man rather than taking something out of him.

    Anyways, I don't think he really believes in the devil as such.  He probably believes in evil forces that originate from the will to power and twist and corrupt man's inherent good will to the point where the only way to save humanity is to use our religious sense in turning to God, who will help re-establish human primacy through person-centered ethics.  

    Or something like that.

To all, friends and foes alike, give that serious attention which does not misrepresent any opinion, does not distort any statement, does not mutilate any quotation. We need not fear to serve the cause of Christ less efficiently by putting on His spirit". (Vermeersch, 1913).

    • I don't know if an exorcism of an evil spirit took place but in the footage I saw, the man standing behind Pope Francis handed him a large envelope.

    • In the television program “Vaderretro” of the SAT 2000 channel of the Italian Episcopal Conference, a video was shown of Pope Francis praying while imposing his hands on a young man in a wheelchair. In the program some thought it was an exorcism.
