Roman Catholic AnswerThere are many groups in the Catholic Church, from various groups of administration in the Vatican called the Curia, various colleges, and groups of religious who have their headquarters in Rome. From Rome downward the Church is divided into dioceses which are grouped by nation and province. Thus there are national groups of bishops, and provincial groups of bishops under an archbishop. Dioceses are divided into parishes which are grouped into Deanerys. In individual parishes there are many groups: the choir, educational groups, charitable groups, prayer groups, study groups, etc.

Catholic priests are not 'ordained' as exorcists, they are trained, usually in Rome, and appointed to the position by their bishop. Every diocese is suppose to have an exorcist but few actually do as the modern mentality of many bishops is that demonic possession can be explained by mental conditions and does not exist.
