The Battle of Good and Evil Through the Rite of Exorcism According to Greek Christian Orthodox and Roman Catholic Perspective

Abstract

The Exorcism Ritual attracts considerable attention by symbolizing the ongoing struggle between Good and Evil and portraying humanity's spiritual journey as an ascent. Although various exorcism practices exist across world religions, research primarily focuses on two main doctrinal traditions: Roman Catholicism and Orthodox Christianity. The Orthodox tradition follows a traditional spiritual framework that does not explore the diverse aspects of demonic manifestations. Conversely, the Roman Catholic Church has established a comprehensive approach to exorcism. Nevertheless, the existing research literature is limited, and more scientific investigation is needed in this area.
