Description
In 2014, a year after Pope Francis was elected, the Vatican formally recognised the International Association of Exorcists -- in what experts say amounts to a papal blessing. Today the practice is well-established in Belgium, where bishops across the country's eight Catholic dioceses have each mandated a priest to offer exorcism sessions. There is no overall figure for the number of people who have resorted to exorcism in the country. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
