Harry Potter, alcohol and pornography are giving rise to exorcism in Britain


There is a rise in cases of exorcism in Britain and the blame, apparently, lands at the feet of Harry Potter, alcohol and pornography. Two Catholic Church exorcists have revealed that there is an increase in the number of people who are asking priests to cleanse their bodies of demons.
In their opinion, the reason is nation's obsession with the supernatural and a fall in those who practice Christianity.
This has been reported in dailymail.co.uk dated 24 September 2016.
The priests have admitted that exorcisms were 'run-of-the-mill' affairs for them but the procedure was far removed from the glamour that is usually portrayed in popular culture. Young people who watch TV shows and films about vampires and Harry Potter has contributed to the increase. The priests feel that even though the population has moved away from Christian beliefs, the people still want to believe in something invisible.
And, coupled with this is the pornography and alcohol consumption that influences people to want to rid 'satan' from their bodies. In fact, some people were coming to the priests claiming that a 'demonic presence had full control' of their bodies.
