1. Demons are not Catholic.
2. The Church does not charge for exorcisms. Although the Church will accept donations.
Catholics have been casting out demons ever since Jesus and the Apostles did it.
Modern psychology says that most of the people who had demons cast out of them were probably miraculously cured from schizophrenia and other mental illnesses. But their cures were still miracles.
The Catholic Church believes that real demonic possessions are rare but possible, so they keep a few exorcists around just in case.
The Church has guidelines in place to take great care to exhaust psychological options before calling in an exorcist.
For more information, see the Catechism of the Catholic Church, sections 1673: http://www.usccb.org/catechism/text/pt2sect2chpt4.htm#1673
Anglicanism, several Protestant denominations, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormons), Judaism, Hinduism, Scientology, and Islam also practice some kind of exorcism. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exorcism
With love in Christ.

If you get possessed by a Catholic demon, I'll pay for the exorcism!!! LOL!! (Demons are united against God and aren't Christians of any denomination.) I have had a number of first hand encounters with demons, and in fact deliverance from demonic possession is the way that God chose to bring me to Him. I know that they are real, and are quite distinct from psychological illnesses, and any exorcist worth his salt (no pun intended) will know the difference. To my knowledge, the Catholic church will not charge you for exorcism, but getting them to actually perform one might take some time depending on which parish you are in. I will pray for your deliverance immediately. May you find peace in Christ, liberation by His blood, and salvation and a place of rest among His saints.

Not unless your Catholic. Since its a Catholic demon the demon's rays will only hurt Catholics.

Demons do not have a certain religion. The devil is the devil and all his minions. They are not even known to be black, white, Hispanic or Asian.
If you do get possessed all I can say is good luck.

I don't know, being in a catholic demon's posse might not be too bad. Should be entertaining at least. LOL

What is POSSED? I don't think anyone including the Catholics know. A little spell check would not hurt.

Alf, they usually don't charge for exorcism. Anyway, when your scooter was broken you wanted us to pray. Now you are an atheist? How can that be??

No. No payment is asked in the first place.
