Both Pentecostal Ministers and Roman Catholic use exorcism. Both have killed both adults and children when doing so. No one has hard evidence that the demons were anything but a mental disease.

Catholics have an exorcism "rite" and must be okayed by the pope.
Any minister can perform an exorcism.

Pentecostals call it "deliverance." The cast demons out in the name of Jesus, this the person is "delivered." It isn't just Pentecostal ministers. Many Pentecostal believers believe anyone who believes in Jesus can cast out demons in Jesus Name.
It is the same concept as Catholic exorcism. I believe the Catholics use Holy Water, Crucifixes and particular rituals in their exorcism ceremonies.
My experience with Pentecostal "deliverance" is that the ministers or believers involved with the deliverance fast & pray and then are led by God what to do as they pray and command the devils/demons/spirits to leave in Jesus name.

Anyone can perform an exorcism. I did it on acid when I was 17 without much training. Course, there were repercussions. There gone now though.
