Exorcism Quote by Anonymous
““In addition to being dubbed the most “liberal” pontiff, Pope Francis has long been suspected of supporting exorcism. In may 2013, the pope reportedly exorcized a wheelchair bound man who was allegedly posessed by the devil. The Vatican insisted the pope “didn't intend to perform any exorcism,” and it released a statement that said “he simply intended to pray for someone who was suffering who was presented to him.””
