We need a young priest and an old priest!!

Roger was being very, very crazy this evening. He seems to be coming down with a cold and so his voice was very hoarse. You was running around yelling and saying weird thing, you should have heard him talking to a piece of pasta he dropped on his pants. I tried to get him to say "Redrum" but he wouldn't do it.

At one point in the evening, he crawled on his hands and knees into a corner by one of my MIL's plants, and started whispering to himself. Then he'd turn and look at us and yell "ARRRRGGGH." And he did it again, and again. Rosa and I wondered to whom he (thought he) was talking, and after this continued for several minutes Rosa asked him "Roger, ask him if his name is Legion." At that, Roger turned around and scream "ARRRRRRGGGGH" louder than before.

Guess his friend wasn't too happy about that question.

  1. Have you tried giving him a bath in holy water?

    Interesting question: can children even BE possessed after baptism but before reaching the age of reason? It's fairly unusual for someone in a state of grace to be possessed, isn't it?

  2. "Interesting question: can children even BE possessed after baptism but before reaching the age of reason?"

    I'm not sure about that. I think that generally the demon has to be invited in, although none of the Catholic Encyclopedia articles said so specifically.
