MAŁGORZATA PROCIAK, KONRAD SZOŁAJSKI
In 1998 John Paul II reinstated the medieval ritual of exorcism. Benedict XVI supports the banishing of demons. Pope Francis publicly prayed over the possessed in St. Peter’s Square. Today, masses of faithful are subjected to exorcisms on a worldwide scale. The number of priests who conduct the ritual is also increasing. Our protagonists – Karolina, Basia and Agnieszka – are facing serious difficulties in their lives. In order to regain ‘spiritual harmony’ they seek help from the exorcists. They are supported in their struggle with Satan by their families, spiritual teachers and medical professionals.
