The Chilling Surge of Modern-Day Exorcisms: Fact Outpaces Fiction

Why is the World Seeing a Surge in Exorcisms Today?

When it comes to exorcisms, the reality is often stranger and more chilling than fiction. In 2005, a nun underwent a three-day exorcism while chained to a large crucifix. Tragically, she died after being taken to the hospital. Despite the Vatican downplaying exorcisms for years, they’ve now admitted that the number has significantly increased.

In 2018, 250 priests from 50 different countries received training in the ritual. This isn’t a new phenomenon; back in 1976, Anneliese Michel from Germany went through 67 exorcisms over a grueling 10 months before she died.

So, why are exorcisms becoming more common? The church claims it’s linked to a decline in Christianity. To counteract the reported rise in demonic possession, Pope Francis has urged priests to advocate openly for exorcisms. In fact, over the last 60 years, more than 260,000 exorcisms—an average of more than seven per day—have been performed within the Vatican itself.

If all this doesn’t make your head spin, perhaps it’s time to watch The Exorcist.
