I hear they throw back an extra demon or two. They're all about the money.

Very good play on words.
The Catholic Church does not charge for performing exorcisms.
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.

Got it all wrong. Bible uses the word exorcism once where there was a failed attempt to exorcise. Otherwise the word in Greek is 'to cast out' or 'expel' evil powers. And the word possessed does not appear in the Greek it is 'to have' a demon.

Why would I pay the Exorcist, he's a friend of mine and should do it as a favour.
Think I'm joking?
Check his web site http://www.david-devereux.com
Or just the cover of his autobiography http://www.david-devereux.com/books/memoirs.jpg
Or even info on his VERY GOOD 1st novel http://www.david-devereux.com/books/hunters_moon.html - a cross between classic horror & all out action, with lots of kinky sex thrown in.
