As ever, I am deeply impressed with the respectful, neutral handling of potentially controversial and inflammatory topics like this. For those who devoutly believe in its reality, there are no slurs or denigration of their beliefs; for those who equally devoutly disbelieve, the information is presented as simply an objective retelling of the perspectives of a different faith. Well done to everyone involved in the process of creating this video!

@UnchainedAmerica 4 года назад

I like the point out that Father Gabriele seems not to mock mental illnesses and could distinguish various mental disorders from "demonic" possessions which is why his exorcism numbers were quite low. Lots of people claims to be possessed but Father Gabriele did not scam the patients with false pretense to garner wealth as he knew not to mock someone who is actually ill with mental disorders like schizophrenia, personality disorders, etc.

@templarw20 3 года назад

For all the talk about science and religion somehow being opposed, that's not the case, and never has been. The Catholic Church, for all it's faults, has more often than not embraced science (Galileo was a political spat). They support a lot of genetic modifications of food crops, for instance, because they see it as a moral obligation to help feed the hungry. Mendel, the father of genetics, was a Catholic monk. So yeah, not surprising. Still interesting.

@thatfunkyduck 4 года назад

Also the first thing he always emphasizes is the fact that like 99% of "possessions" are mentally ill people who aren't necessarily faking it, but for a variety of reasons are exhibiting the symptoms due to psychological reasons. But then there's that 1% of cases, the kind that come around MAYBE once every 1-2 years, and almost always involve a victim who had either recently dabbled in the occult, or who had someone suspiciously close to them who practiced "darker" things. THESE are the bizarre cases, the ones that seem to defy logical explanation. The 7 year old mentioned in the video, for example, who threw 5 grown men across the room with ease. The people who start speaking fluently in old languages they have barely even heard before. And yes, there really are an alarming number of eyewitness testimonies of acts of levitation by some victims, many given by very credible people. I don't know what to make of all it, but at the very least, it makes for entertaining reading! 😝

Physically attacking me with strength they don't normally possess, then reacting violently to holy water being put on them. Not remembering a single thing after episodes. It was a very stressful situation. During the exorcism itself, their eyes went blank as soon as the priest began. They went limp in the chair they were sitting in until the priest got to the Latin prayers in the Rite, when they starting convulsing and moaning loudly, needing to be restrained. Towards the end, they calmed down and you could see the physical and emotional relief in their body and eyes. It was a weight off their shoulders, and the smile and look they gave me afterwards was one I had not seen since before the incidents began.

To answer the question posed at the end of the video, I'd like to give my perspective. As an agnostic atheist (and raised as such), I personally doubt that 'demonic possession' is the root cause of these cases, but I also believe that (once modern medicine has tried its best) exorcism may well be an effective therapy. The human mind is a fickle yet malleable thing, and if one is genuinely convinced that only exorcism will set them free, then the ritual nature and authority of the ordained priest may well be enough to break through the obsessive thoughts and impulses, allowing the patient to heal. In much the same manner as hypnosis can be used to treat compulsive disorders like OCD, PTSD, and anxiety, I think this ritualised trance and firm belief from all parties can, at the very least, relieve the symptoms of a person's demons, whatever their cause. Just stick to the text and don't DIY this stuff, same as any other treatment. Bleach and a Bible does not a trained professional make.

@@loganpharis6747 For the feats of strength, I'm fairly confident that adrenaline and the patient's own disregard for pain would cover it without speculating much further. Think mothers lifting cars to save their children, which has been scientifically proven! As for the flying objects and supernatural voices, I'd say probably a mixture of shared belief and 'mass hysteria' / the same social forces that drive Pentacostal and Evangelical congregations to experience seizure-like episodes when driven to frenzy by their leaders.
