Roman Catholic AnswerA priest may only do a major exorcism if he is appointed by his Bishop to do so. Normally, only a Bishop does an exorcism without special permission. All priests, by virtue of the ordination, are capable of doing exorcisms, and there are various exorcisms, called minor exorcisms, for instance at baptism. More powerful than any exorcism, though, is regular reception of the sacraments of penance and Holy Communion.

What is exorcism?

==Exorcism == an exorcism is when a priest takes out an evil spirit from a person and/or a creature. Exorcism is the ritualistic practice of removing demons or evil spirits from people, places or things that they have possessed. Catholic priests usually do exorcism and they have kept records, but they are secret records and not for public view. The reasoning is that the victim is possessed by a demon or the devil and the priest will pray and pray over them trying to cast out the demon/devil from the person's body. The priests often take turns (it's exhausting) until they feel they have successfully rid the victim of the demon/devil. The movie "The Exorcist" is a fine example. Whether this be true or not as far exorcism is still up in the air. Some say the person has a mental illness, while others truly believe there is a demon/devil possessing a victim's body.
