Why does Father Lucas have Rosario and Vincenzo (the young boy) open their mouths so he can look in? If answered before, I apologize. What does he expect to see?

Nails, maybe?

Probably bc demons manifest in the mouth where it can be physically seen. If u noticed in the scene where Rosaria lost her baby. Look at her mouth. The darkness manifesting there coming to full fruition. The ugliness. Same with the little girl in the Exorcist. It's a point of entrance. Clearly one can see the decay,the corruption etc.
