A spokesperson for the archdiocese in central Germany confirmed
earlier in the week that priests had performed three exorcisms between
1999 and 2003.
Liberation from evil has been part of the church for 2000 years," spokesman Aegidius Engel told the dpa news agency.
Engel, whose name -- appropriately enough -- is German for angel,
declined to give specifics, but he did say that the archdiocese had
received 18 requests for exorcism from people the church deemed
credibly possessed.
On the surface, then, that would mean 15 people are still at large in the Paderborn area with a serious case of Mephistopheles.
