Exorcism

Jean-Paul Guinnard

Requests for exorcism are pouring into the diocese, with more and more people believing or claiming to be possessed by the devil. But the Church rarely practices the ritual. "I have contact with God thanks to my pendulum. And it works!" assures Daniel Schmutz (76 years old). A healer for around fifteen years in Tinterin, in the Fribourg Sense region, the retiree relieves his patients with prayer.
