Yes, the Catholic Church does, and it's not the same as "casting out demons" that supposedly occurs in some Protestant churches.
The Rite of Exorcism is a lengthy and specific process involving certain words and certain rituals and must be performed by a validly ordained priest.
Exorcisms are rare, but sometimes necessary. There are millions of people that are "demon obsessed" but very few that are actually "demon possessed."

i think of all Christian Church has some way of managing this subject. The RC church has specific regulations as to who can and the way, whilst, why, and so forth. that it truly is finished. The RC church is extra prepared approximately exorcism, which i think of is a stable subject. a number of the different communities do exorcisms in an truly disorganized way and don't additionally be attentive to whilst one is mandatory and many times do one whilst the situation is unquestionably something else. The RC church is extra rational in it is attitude.

Catholic Priests perform Exorcisms.
Believers Cast out Demons in Jesus' name.
I believe that demons sometimes "go limp" around a Catholic Priest to keep the deception going that exorcism actually works. Demons flee from the name of Jesus when a believer understands the power of that name.

Plenty. Some Christians don't want to believe that they are still necessary, but it is. Exorcisms can take on many forms, they're not all like in the movies, but they do happen, not just in the church, either.

Contact your local Roman Catholic Church for Exorcisms, particularly any Jesuit outreaches.

Sure but we don't call them exorcism, but just casting out demons as Jesus ordered us to do..
Demons have not gone away and still need to be dealt with even today..
It doesn't have to be a big show, but sometimes demons have control of people and don't want to leave. Mostly it just happens.

Yes.
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.
With love in Christ.

Yes, I am sure of that. Because these are the last days and Satan would even use the church and people who are not strong in the Lord to do his evil acts.

Yes any full gospel preaching church, but do not expect what was presented at the movie The Exorcist: old rites, blessed water, special prayers written centuries ago.
