An Irish Priest has said there is an urgent need for trained teams of people to lead "deliverance ministry" to help those who feel oppressed by evil spirits.
Fr Pat Collins, a priest of the Vincentian order in Blackrock and a Dublin based exorcist, made the appeal in this week's The Irish Catholic, Ireland's best-selling religious newspaper.
He told The Irish Catholic: "As Ireland has secularised, there is a crisis of truth, and a crisis of meaning – people are getting into all kinds of things they wouldn't have got into before. As a result, people are more open to spiritual forces that can be negative.
