Exorcism is a relic of ignorance, a medieval misinterpretation of human suffering. What was once deemed "possession" was merely the visible collapse of the mind or body under illness, trauma, or neurological decay. Disorders such as schizophrenia, epilepsy, dissociative identity disorder, or severe psychosis were, for centuries, misread by those too fearful or too primitive to confront reality. Modern medicine has unraveled the fiction. Rabies, meningitis, encephalitis, all can induce seizures, hallucinations, delirium, and violent behavior indistinguishable from the so-called "signs of possession." And when it concerns infants, the absurdity is even more grotesque. A child writhing or convulsing is not a battlefield for demons, it is the victim of infection, fever, or neurological catastrophe. Exorcism is not simply false. It is barbaric. It has served only to brutalize the vulnerable: the mentally ill, the traumatized, the defenseless. Behind every "rite of exorcism" lies a history of human beings degraded, terrorized, and, too often, destroyed under the pretense of spiritual warfare. christianity, particularly through its catholic institution, did not promote exorcism out of divine insight. It wielded it as a weapon, a tool to crush dissent, to vilify nonconformity, to reinforce submission through fear. Those labeled "possessed" were frequently the inconvenient. Women, the impoverished, the different. "deliverance" was never the goal. domination was. It is worth noting that not all cultures interpreted unusual behavior as evil. Many regarded altered states as sacred, interactions with ancestors, spirits, or unseen energies. It was christianity that twisted these perceptions into a grotesque theater of sin, punishment, and damnation. What people believed they witnessed, even within the echoing walls of churches, was not the supernatural. It was human frailty, human illness, human pain, reframed by superstition into a spectacle of horror. To cling to the belief in possession, in the face of everything we now understand, is not an act of faith. It is an act of chosen blindness and complete ignorance.
