    Haha i knew this was going to be the quote you were talking about. I think it's just the demon goading Regan's mother, the 'C-word' is considered pretty offensive, I imagine more so back then. But like others said i think he/it was alluding to the 'crucifix scene'.

    Wow, it's been a while, but I think you're wrong. The "a" in "canting" was a "u".

    If you remember, the demon made her masturbate with the crucifix...

    Cúnting, is a kind of English slur. Reagan, not Regan, accused the butler of being a former Nazi in hiding, and she urinated on the floor, etc.

    "C*nting daughter"- Swear words were once more offensive than the widespread child sex-abuse and cover-up that occurred within the catholic church. And all other religions too, of course.

    The word is not "canting". Replace the "a" with "u".
