From Citizen Digital:
A woman closes her eyes as a young man dressed as a priest places both hands on her forehead. Moments later, she falls to the floor in front of dozens of worshippers.
The scene unfolds not in a church but in the basement of a small shopping centre a short walk from the vast esplanade of Portugal’s Fatima shrine, one of the Catholic Church’s most visited pilgrimage sites. The gathering was part of a series of monthly so-called “exorcism retreats” held in Fatima that have raised concerns among Catholic authorities, who say they operate outside official Church oversight by self-styled religious figures and risk exploiting vulnerable believers.
