    I am not Catholic but I do believe that there is a demonic possession, and have seen first hand the work of demons, which is why I stay as close to my faith as I can, and totally believe in the power of prayer against these things.

    Demonic possesion is a reality, and It has been proven on many accounts. But People still think it to be like in the movies( where the person turns green and pukes green slime all over the room). Demonic possestion is nothing like that. THe person will seem normal except for an increased amound of agillity in sertain scenses, a split personality, sometimes in more serious situations the person will lose control of their body and the demonic aura will overwelm them for a period of time. These periods are seen as changes in personality, and or sudden rushes of anger. The Demon can also completely control the body of the victim, and im very bad cases, switch places with the victim, and remove the spirit of the victim from his/her body and send it to hell.

    Jesus solid out evil spirits. He gave his apostles authority to do the comparable and that they did on social gathering. Joseph Smith became as quickly as taken to court in manhattan and located answerable for casting out an evil spirit yet seems how there is not any regulations against that the choose had to enable him bypass. sure we've self belief there are evil spirits and that they could be solid out via one given authority from Christ to attain this. we don't call it "exorcism" that's a Catholic be conscious. that's no longer as dramatic as movies made on the concern. additionally casting out evil spirits like conversing in tongues - once you have a effective non secular adventure you do no longer tell rather everyone and their canine approximately it.

    personally i dont

    i find it strange that majority of possesions only happen to Catholics ... why would God allow that ?

    most reported cases share similarites to epilepsy and other similar problems

    the mind can also produce similar effects

    and when in cases of young adults ... studies have shown that " polterguist activity " to be nothing more than human energy

    not Catholic sorry ... but have studied possesions

    I am not Catholic, but I have had my experience and eyewitness in those whom have been possessed by demonic spirits. Inside, I know, by the look in ones eyes if they are possessed by demonic spirits......and surprisingly it is by the majority. Those whom do not believe in Christ are subject to the possessions and control of demons.

    Demons come in many shape and forms and influences; from alcohol, to other drug comsumptions.......

    The power of Jesus and Satan are real; although they can not be seen, for their realm is not of our own. Spirits are in a totally different realm that we visually and physically can not see.

    Jesus said, that we do not fight agianst the things of the physical realm, but of principalities of darkness.
