I would not consider Fr. Jeremy Davies senile; he is in
command of his faculties; in so much that what he is saying is in line with church doctrine concerning demon possession.
I doubt his recent book is an Anthony Flew job, ghosted to attach a particular revised world view to the Fathers.
Exorcisms are still allowed under Catholic Church
doctrines. There are even courses on it offered to priests.
There collected heads of knuckle still believe, or if they
don't believe, admire the efficacy of the lie to such and extent that they carry out such barbaric practices.
Fr. Davies is only one of many nutbars spouting off tripe
that sounds bug-fuck nuts to any sane person; and these bug-fuck nuts beliefs are supported by the Catholic Church.
How about Bishop Francisco Chimoio claiming that
European-made condoms were infected with HIV directly?
Or Bishop Timothy A. McDonnel;
Or this latest bit of bum-wipery.

Now, there are a few bright stars among this pack of
dunderheads, Bishop Kevin Dowling among them, who is fighting for condom use in South Africa, but the Vatican isn't moving on the position.
But for every rational man (in an irrational position) there
is a legion of the likes of the loathsome liar Cardinal Alfonso Lopez Trujillo, who states
"In the case of the
AIDS virus, which is around 450 times smaller than the sperm cell, the condom's latex material obviously gives much less security... to talk of condoms as
'safe sex' is a form of Russian roulette." Cardinal Trujillo called on ministries of health to require "a warning, that the condom is not
safe" on packages distributed worldwide."
Even Benny the Strict, thrust his personal
blitzkrieg through the subject stating
"It is of great concern that the fabric of African life, its very source of
hope and stability, is threatened by divorce, abortion, prostitution, human trafficking, and a contraception mentality." He emphasized that contraception
leads to a "breakdown in sexual morality."
Now before I get accused of Christian bashing; I should also note that these heads
of knuckle are not alone in the sick exorcism fantasies, and rejection of modern science in favor of bronze-age myth.
One can only look on the role of Imams in thwarting the adoption of polio vaccinations in India, Afghanistan, Nigeria
and Pakistan. You can even find them in the west with ignorant jack-offs such as Dr. Abdul Majid Katme, who is urging
parents forgoing vaccinations, as the material in the vaccinations contain haram materials.
Here's what this ignorant twat-donkey had to say on the matter.
If you breastfeed your child for two years - as the Koran says - and you eat Koranic food like olives and
black seed, and you do ablution each time you pray, then you will have a strong defence system."
Delusional arseholes.
Imaginary friends can be great fun, but they should not be counted on for medical
advice or family planning; and any demon infestation that does not end up with rubbery tentacles or Cutey Honey taking her clothes off, or both; is not worth
the effort.
