...the only government confirmed case of possession...
The inherent stupidity in that line is staggering.
shareTrue! There aren't ANY confirmed cases.

Very well documented and recognized by many in various professional fields.
I'm sorry but a religious MD isn't a neutral party. "He is also on the faculties of the Columbia University Psychoanalytic Institute and a Roman Catholic seminary."
Zero credibility.
Here's a comment from someone:
"Thank you, Dr. Gallagher! You are a man of medicine/science and a man of Faith."
"Very well documented and recognized by many in various professional fields." All but the right ones. Has his peers reviewed the study? What did they make of it?
Thank you for the link. It's a good start.

You totally ignored the list of others who witnessed the incidents, including those who are not religious.
sharePlease list them for me. Thanks!

Sorry, I had forgotten you need a subscription on the Oxford Review to read the full article, on the previous link.

His credentials don't exactly portray him as any type of quack or whacko....

Sorry about the delay in replying. For some reason I didn't get a notification of your comment. Anywho, I don't really believe a word of this. An "unnamed woman" and folk who were allegedly there haven't said a single thing about it ... to anyone?! We're talking about a story that would silence every sceptic, atheist and agnostic in the world immediately. Also, that doctor is an Exorcist. (A very worrying career choice for this MD's patients. I wouldn't let the clown near a dying rat with seconds to live, nevermind a human!)
"Dr. Gallagher is the only American psychiatrist to have been a consistent U.S. delegate to the International Association of Exorcists, and has addressed its plenary session."
My two cents. A man says, thanks for the links!

Heck, even most priests nowadays agree that demonic possession is nonsense. What we've learned about the human psyche has thrown that boloney right out the door.
Even the story that inspired "The Exorcist" has been deemed to be nothing more than a kid with psychiatric issues, with none of the reported, supposed supernatural things actually happening.
As for ones that have been "witnessed"...they surely make a great story, don't they? Of course, "story" is the key word.
I caught a four foot long trout last weekend, too. I did it on six pound test, too! Then I went to McDonalds and saw Sarah Palin sitting there doing calculus.
