The Role of Exorcism in Faith

Exorcism is viewed as a solemn ministry that responds to spiritual needs rather than being a pursuit of the individual. Monsignor Ciarmataro reflects on how he was appointed as an exorcist, highlighting that typically, one does not choose exorcism; it chooses them. With only a handful of trained exorcists, he emphasizes the necessity of this ministry, as many people require deliverance from demonic influences. His experiences indicate that a good Christian life is crucial for avoiding possession, as returning sin can enable demons to re-enter.
