• The fact is that a "minor exorcism" takes place in every Baptism and Confirmation ceremony when we renounce Satan and all his works and empty promises. This prayer service will be along those lines. I'm not saying that anyone involved in the redefinition of marriage is possessed by the devil, which, if that were the case, would require the remedy of a "Major Exorcism," but all of us are certainly subject to the devil's evil influences and in need of protection and deliverance from evil.

• I imagined a psychic pain growing inside him (myself) that demanded some physical outlet. Suicide must have been his attempt to give Pain a body, a representation, to put it outside himself. A need to convert inner torment into some outward tangible wound that all could see. It was almost as though suicide were a last-ditch effort at exorcism, in which the person sacrificed his life in order that the devil inside might die.

  Phillip Lopate

• El ritual del exorcismo no lo practica un sacerdote ordinario. Un exorcista requiere una formación específica y se debe pensar que tiene una santidad personal. Puede estar expuesto a comportamientos peligrosos y a amenazas personales. Sus oraciones provocan a menudo una respuesta violenta cuando intenta iluminar las tinieblas.

• Para mí, la película que más miedo me ha dado es El exorcista. Todavía me da mucho miedo, y es por el elemento fantástico. Es el exorcismo. Es el Diablo. No es un tipo entrando en tu casa intentando torturarte o cortarte lo que sea. Ese tipo de películas no me gustan, y no las llamo terror.
